MANYONI PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
Leopard Mountain Safari Lodge is set within the spectacular Manyoni Private Game Reserve, one of South Africa’s most celebrated conservation success stories. Spanning over 54,000 acres of protected wilderness, this remarkable Big Five reserve offers an extraordinary safari experience where breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and meaningful conservation come together.
Home to iconic species including elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino, Manyoni also plays a vital role in the protection of endangered wildlife such as pangolin, cheetah, and black rhino. Every safari is an opportunity to witness Africa’s natural beauty while supporting the preservation of one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most important wilderness areas.

★★★★★
A trip we’ll remember forever! From the welcome when we arrived, to the comfort of our rooms and the incredible food, we were treated like royalty! The staff’s attention to detail was amazing. It was our first wedding anniversary and they made us feel loved and special each and every day! Game drives were phenomenal. The scenery is just breathtaking. We cannot wait to come back and spend another couple nights with the Leopard Mountain family!
★★★★★
Delicious food that never stops coming, beautiful rooms with everything you need, friendly staff and professional guides and to top it all off we saw the Big 5 and more. So we will definitely be back. Thanks Leopard Mountain for making our birthday girl feel so special and going the extra mile for our family.
★★★★★
From the moment we arrived at Leopard Mountain Lodge, our experience was amazing. We received such a warm and genuine welcome that it immediately made us feel at home. The food throughout our stay was excellent—every meal was delicious and beautifully prepared. Our guide, Sean, was knowledgeable and made the game drives even more enjoyable. The excursions organised by Manyoni Conservation were truly special and educational. We enjoyed them so much and really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the incredible work being done in the reserve. The accommodation itself was fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and offering truly breathtaking views over the reserve. Waking up to that scenery each day was unforgettable. We can’t recommend Leopard Mountain highly enough. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special. We look forward to returning one day!

As a family, we had an amazing stay at Leopard Mountain Lodge! Not only were the accommodation, food and game viewing all of a really high standard, the staff were so friendly, welcoming, happy and relaxed – it made for a casual environment, which we all loved! Ross, our guide, was really experienced and made the game drives fun and informative – we highly recommend him! The quality and abundance of wildlife in the Manyoni Reserve was quite unexpected with rewarding sightings in a beautifully maintained reserve. We also booked a Pangolin Experience, which was very special. Thank you Ryan and team for hosting us!
