Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Leopard Hills was the most AMAZING lodge. The staff was FABULOUS. Stuart are guide was AWESOME. He was so knowledgeable about the animals. His drives were exciting. My husband and I had a great time with him. He’s got a great sense of humor. Desire the tracker was terrific. The food at the lodge was DELICIOUS. The chef was so helpful to make sure we enjoyed every meal. The villas were GORGEOUS . Beautiful bathroom. Nice living space and the outdoor space with the plunge pool was MAGNIFICENT. We had the time of our lives. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the BEST experience of our lives.

This surpassed any expectations we had about what we would experience on a safari and stay in a beyond luxurious setting in Sabi Sands. The staff at Leopard Hills were magnificent and you could tell that the 'extended family' that run the Private Game Reserve truly love what they do. They also have what seem like the 'best of the best' in trackers and drivers because finding the difficult to find game can't be left to luck. We discovered that there is so much skill involved and could not recommend Leopard Hills more highly. Going on a safari at this level is an investment and you could not do better than the extraordinary team that they have nurtured at Leopard Hills.

Every aspect of my week with Leopard Hills exceeded expectations. The staff could not have been more helpful or attentive. The safari drives were exilarating and full of drama and excitement. We enjoyed the meals, and snacks very much and the drinks flowed. Our bungalow was fantastic. I loved the outdoor shower and dipping in our private pool with a drink. The BOMA was great fun too. If you're thinking of doing a safari BOOK IT. And you could not do better than Leopard Hills. Every time I think of my visit I smile. Thank you Leopard Hills. I'll be back!

This was such a lovely place to stay in Sabi Sands. The quality of care that the entire staff puts into ensuring your experience is top notch is remarkable. From the warm welcome you receive as you arrive from the airport, to the degree to which they pay attention to your food/allergy preferences, to the unbelievable game ride experiences they provide (we miss you, Justin!!) you begin to feel like part of their family from the get go. The suites have the most majestic views of the reserve and the jeep quality is top notch. The food was also solid and they even put together a romantic in-room dinner since my wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon. Lastly, I actually slipped and suffered a minimal fracture of my forearm during my last couple of hours at the lodge, and the staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and to ensure I was in the right medical hands before I had to leave even though it was definitely not the most convenient time for me to take my tumble. We will definitely recommend this reserve to anyone who goes on Safari in Kruger!

We loved everything about Leopard Hills. One couple were on their fifth visit and it’s easy to understand why. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel welcome and a valued guest. The staff are all lovely. The lodges are gorgeous. Ours had a huge outside space and a beautiful panoramic view, including the waterhole below. Safety is taken very seriously. The food is high quality, varied and bountiful. We did 8 drives with Justin guiding and Ron tracking. Both were extremely friendly and helpful. Ron must have superhuman eyesight combined with his deep knowledge of animal behaviour and the signs they leave behind. Justin seemed devoted to and really interested in his job with awesome knowledge about everything we saw and endless patience with our questions. When a leopard sighting was signalled he held back when others rushed in. He knew that the animal would need to rest later. As a result we had a sighting of the magnificent dominant male that could have been set up for the movies. I can’t recommend Leopard Hills highly enough.

Our guide, Justin, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with even the most idiotic questions (such as how long can hippos breathe under water) while Ron, our tracker, noticed the smallest signs and prints, and together they ensured we had eight truly magical drives. We saw four individual leopards, elephants, Cape buffalo, lions and their cubs, of course lots of impala, hyena pups, and on our last drive, an African wild dog, a very rare sight indeed. Every single member of the team is welcoming and friendly. I celebrated my birthday while staying, and without my requesting a beautiful cake was made for me, a very joyful ‘happy birthday’ was sung, and a bottle of South African sparkling wine was gifted to our jeep/table. I must also say that Portia gave me possibly the best massage I have ever had, and I encourage anyone who is on the fence about treating themselves to do it. The food is excellent, really superb, and the rooms are beautiful and comfortable.

Absolutely magical experience at the Leopard Hills hotel. Our guide Johan and tracker Advice made the experience particularly special with their knowledge, guidance and conversation. Met some great people and saw the Big 5 mutliple times, along with the rare African dogs plus loads more. Magical place and we can't wait to be back.

All facilities and staff are excellent. Wildlife was on form as well as we really wanted to see leopard and rhino and managed to get close ups of both. Only slight regret is not checking details for flights to and from the local landing strip which would have given us more time at the lodge. Would be very happy to go back!

What can I say......we've done a few safari based holidays in the past but can honestly say, what an amazing experience our 4 night stay was with the whole Leopard Hills team Everyone was both professional and so friendly, it really does put you at ease from the very start 10/10 for the welcome, the rooms, the game drives, all staff (especially our Ranger and tracker, Justin and Ronald) the food, the atmosphere and for anything else I've forgotten. Even our last day, waiting for our transfer to arrive, we were set up with snacks and drinks and the TV on the desired channel to watch the Ryder cup golf! (Sorry to our American pals) nothing is too much trouble When in the future, we do return to Africa, it will 100% be back to Leopard Hills for us ❤️❤️
