From start to end we were received and taken care of with what felt like royal treatment. The lodge is beautiful and provides all aspects of luxury above expectation. The staff is professional and kind, including the guides with extended knowledge on game drives. The food is excellent and in abundance. I was sad to leave, i had a great time and a wonderful experience at Leopard sands!

My family and I had a fabulous 5 days at Leopard Sands! The staff were welcoming and wonderful. I had many questions before we came, and Anita happily answered all of them in a very timely manner. The food was lekker (delicious) and abundant, and they allowed for substitutions. The rooms were very nice and we loved having an option of the inside and outside showers (I loved the outside one!). The bed was very comfortable and it was always spotless. We enjoyed the turndowns in the evening, and as we were celebrating my husband's 70th birthday, they made a special effort and "decorated" our bed and made and served him a cake and the whole staff also sang to him. We had Goodwill as our safari guide, and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw all of the Big 5 and he answered all of our varied questions. The snack and drinks on the safaris were appreciated. It was a fantastic place and I highly recommend it!

What an amazing resort! Leopard Sands by Marriott is truly world-class. The villas are luxurious, the views are breathtaking, and the service is exceptional. The highlight of our stay was the unbelievable sightings of the Big 5 on safari — a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The guides are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate, which made every game drive unforgettable. This was one of my best holidays, and I will definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect combination of luxury and adventure.🐆

From the moment we pulled up to Leopard Sands Lodge in the Kruger, we knew we were in for something special. Anita, McNeil (the wonderful GM, Van Heerden), and every single member of the team greeted us like old friends rather than first-time visitors. That feeling never faded – throughout our stay, nothing was ever too much trouble, and every little detail seemed to be handled before we’d even thought to ask. The lodge itself is breathtaking – a perfect mix of style, comfort, and that unique feeling of being surrounded by the wild. But as beautiful as it is, it’s the people who make Leopard Sands unforgettable. There’s a warmth and genuine care here that you can’t fake; it’s clear they love what they do, and it shines through in every interaction. We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and the sense that we’d found something truly rare. If five stars is the limit, Leopard Sands deserves more. We’re already counting the days until we can come back.

Better than expected! Service, overall, was great. Our favorite is Anita, Room Operations Director, who had the most wonderful smile, super kind and super friendly. We loved seeing her and she made us feel welcomed. Service at the restaurant was great as well. Agreeable was very friendly and understood what we wanted and got our orders right. It’s refreshing when your orders are understood and cooked right. Pastor at front desk was so lovely. He’s been there since opening and you can tell he’s fit for the job. Super helpful guy. The room is nicely set up and clean. Housekeeping did a good job daily, along with turn down service. It’s nice to come back after the game drives to a clean room without ever having to ask. Laundry is included and you put in the hamper in the morning, and it’s cleaned and folded and returned same day. There is heater in the room too, which is helpful during winter time. The bed is comfortable and the pillows as well. Even though the entire room layout is open, they put a divider up between the room and shower so that we can still shower and have some privacy. One feedback would be to have separate hair conditioner and not a combined shampoo / conditioner. Because it was combined, then conditioner wasn’t really strong so our hair was more tangled up. Game drives. We had Santos as our shared game drive guide. He was a very knowledgeable guy and helpful in answering questions and telling us about the animals. We love hearing about the different animal stories. We did have a hiccup with our private game drive booking. We initially thought private game drive meant with leopard sands but it was with a outsourced company and the guide was not up to standard. He was friendly but did not have the in depth knowledge we wanted, especially experiencing Santos the day before. However, service recovery was good and Anita resolved it and made sure we had Santos for the remaining of our stay. There’s two game drives a day included, morning and afternoon. Morning in winter is very cold and poncho blankets are included. Food is wonderful! Different menus for lunch and dinner everyday and we were there for 5 nights. Very flexible and able to change dishes, especially since I’m vegetarian and my daughter may not like the fancier food options. Flavors though were great. Definitely didn’t expect amazing food at a safari lodge. Overall, we had a great time at Leopard Sands. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

Amazing hospitality, fantastic stay. Managed to spot some Elephants and Hippos just outside the stay. The staff were amazing, service and food were excellent. Kudos to Anita for giving proving exceptional service and advice during our stay. Not forgetting the friendly Melissa always greeting us with her amazing smile. Our guide Santos was extremely knowledgeable and an amazing guide. Managed to see the big 5 on the first day.
