Leopard Hills

| The problem with this brilliant lodge is it is often overlooked because the Kruger is so awash with fancy, swashbuckling properties. It’s always been small, always about the experience, and always goes the extra mile. Leopards making a kill at dusk, a stand-off between two male lions and four white rhinos scratching and rootling – even the safari-smug are astounded to see all this within 24 hours of arriving; the phenomenally energetic ranger Gary can take a Land Rover anywhere, and will. There are only eight air-conditioned, glass-fronted rooms, each with its own viewing deck and plunge pool, deliberately more safari than SW1. Food is frisky too; there’s warthog and barbecued crocodile (tastes like chicken, obviously). It’s a personal place, a place that delivers, yet gets under the skin of the game and Africa. |
