Leopard Walk Lodge

We had a lovely family holiday at Leopard Walk Lodge as an extended family vacation. We stayed in the secrets of the forest bungalows which were very comfortable and spacious and surrounded by beautiful indigenous bush. It was wonderful to wake up surrounded by nature and we loved our nightly visits from a nosy nag apie. The wonderful chef, Zanele, took great care to consult about meals and to accommodate our young children’s palates. Watching her passion for her work was really a joyous part of each meal. Mlu went out of his way to organise child-friendly activities and were so appreciated his extensive knowledge of bush medicine and his shared anecdotes of his grandmother’s knowledge passed down. We did day trips to St Lucia wetlands, Hluhluwe game reserve and the nearby crocodile park. The lodge is very conveniently situated for all. Thank you to the staff for making this a very memorable stay in a truly beautiful spot.

Leopard Walk Lodge: A Perfect African Retreat After a demanding business trip from the USA, Leopard Walk Lodge was the ideal place to unwind before my 30-hour flight home. With a small number of luxury lodges, each designed for complete privacy, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the African bush. The accommodations are beautifully furnished with all the amenities you could need, including excellent WiFi. However, it’s the stillness of the wilderness that truly soothes the soul, inviting relaxation and rejuvenation. The staff’s hospitality was exceptional. From the flawless check-in and check-out process to their warm Zulu smiles, they made me feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail ensured every need was met effortlessly. The food was outstanding, with both breakfast and dinner showcasing home-cooked quality and local flavors. Service during meals was attentive yet unobtrusive, adding to the overall sense of comfort. Whether relaxing on my private deck or exploring the nearby paths, I was immersed in the peaceful beauty of the bush. Watching the sky shift at sunrise and sunset was magical, reinforcing the lodge’s calming atmosphere. Leopard Walk Lodge offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and connection with nature. For anyone seeking a true escape, it’s a place to reset, recharge, and leave feeling refreshed and ready for what’s next.

Friends and I recently fount a hidden treasure in the heart of the South African Kwa-Zulu Natal wetlands area, located near a town called Hluhluwe. Our stay was brief and yet memorable. We were greeted by our host and staff on our arrival in a very hospitable and professional manner. Waking up in the morning and being greeted by a tame Zebra walking past at arms length, just added to a truly exceptional out doors South African experience.

The lodge is beautifully situated in a wildlife reserve. Staff was incredibly friendly, warm and hospitable. Both dinner and breakfast was delicious and filling! Great place to stay for a few days and get away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Wonderful experience, rooms are clean, airconditioned, wildlife at your doorstep, first time petting a zebra seemed very tamed. Staff are very welcoming and hospitality is excellent. If you're looking for a true African experience i definitely recommend you give them a try. A long with delicious foods there's a pool area and heart warming bonfire area for those who want to sit around a fire and relax.
