The Leopard Hills Private Game
Reserve traverses over 12000ha in the North Western sector
of the world renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which forms
part of the Greater Kruger National Park and is approximately
500km due East of Johannesburg. The lodge is easily accessible
either by road from Johannesburg (a five and half hour drive),
or by air on one of the 3 daily scheduled flights.
Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve is a personal
favourite, a gem in the
Sabi Sand - in our opinion one of the finest, most personal
and professionally run lodges in the country - if not the
world. The main lodge has a warm, welcoming charm and
friendliness seldom found. With full bar, dining room
and dining deck, a surround deck from which to view the
wonders of the North Western Sabi Sands, a quiet lounge
and library for those needing a little time alone.

Leopard Hills 8 luxurious glass-fronted suites complete
with their own sundeck and rock plunge-pool offer superb

Excerpt From
The Monthly Leopard Hills Ranger Report

| Sightings
of the larger three members of the big
5, elephants, rhinos and buffaloes have
been very plentiful this month. They
are also relatively easy to find as
they concentrate their activities around
the water that is available to them,
which as I have mentioned, is severely
limited.
The
elephants are encountered regularly
along the river, where the water and
green reeds serves as a magnet to these
colossal creatures. Here we are also
finding many and large groups of buffalo
bulls. The buffalo herd returned 3 days
ago, just before the end of the month,
after an absence of about 3 weeks. They
are spending more and more time moving
around in search of food and water.
Lastly
the rhinos are being located near the
dams and pans where they spend hours
lying cooling off in the water or wallowing
in the mud.
We had
a magnificent sighting this month of
two territorial Rhino bulls having a
dispute near a common water source shared
by these two males. The pan is a boundary
area of both rhino’s territories, and
we should be seeing more aggression
throughout the animal communities as
the fight for survival gets fierce in
these trying times.
