Wildlife Viewing & Activities

Activities at Leopard Hills are designed to immerse guests in all of the glories, large and small, of the spectacular Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Knowledgeable and experienced guides conduct nature drives in open 4x4 vehicles in the early morning and late afternoons, seeking out some of the most dense and diverse wildlife populations on the continent. Highlights include frequent sightings of the elusive leopard and rare and endangered rhino. Optional guided bush walks take place just after breakfast upon request and are a great way to experience the finer aspects of the African bush and gain a better understanding of the ecosystem as a whole; insects, plants, birds and small mammals often missed on wildlife drives abound and can be as fascinating and worthwhile as the large mammals for which this region is famous. The lodge’s massive viewing deck is also a great place to watch wildlife as it congregates at the waterhole below.

The Sabi Sand is known for great leopard viewing, healthy rhino populations and the rest of the Big Five, making it a great wildlife destination for all levels of safari experience. The below chart helps to illustrate major wildlife sightings often experienced here. Other typical sightings may include warthogs, baboons and a number of other mammals, birds and reptiles. Exact sightings will depend on weather and wildlife movements.

Conservation

With generous support from its valued guests, Leopard Hills has undertaken the responsibility of building and looking after a day care center for underprivileged children and orphans in a community near the lodge. Leopard Hills donates all of its excess food to the center, and through additional ongoing donations of books, clothing, writing materials and blankets, the center continues to play an important role in providing much needed care, education, and nutrition for these children. Leopard Hills also actively recognizes and embraces the important role it plays in the overall conservation of its surrounding natural environment, and toward this end practices the most up-to-date responsible management techniques. Leopard Hills actively reduces, recycles and reuses all materials when feasible and has implemented programs to reduce pollution. Environmental impacts are constantly monitored and recorded and compared in relation to aggressive environmental objectives. In addition, employees and staff are provided with the training and resources required to meet these objectives.
