The morning private game drive with Luleka Day Safaris is a fantastic opportunity for travellers, day visitors, and tourists staying outside the reserve to experience the Manyoni Private Game Reserve. This was our second time using them this year, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. We saw all the animals we hoped to see, especially the highlight of lion cubs playing around their mother in the early morning. Seeing the Big Five on a private drive with an experienced guide is truly special. They also arranged additional extras for us, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. We will definitely be seeing them again soon. :-)

Fantastic range of habitats to support such a wide variety of animals, birds, insects etc. stunning views too. The reserve is well managed with nature conservation at its heart. This is reflected by all the staff we met there. They have a passion that is infectious.

We spent four nights at Leopard mountain and had a wonderful time. Many thanks to the team, especially to George, Craig, and Abigail. A stay at Leopard mountain is luxury and pampering. Leopard Mountain Lodge is just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The chalets are well-designed, excellently equipped, and you will feel very private. Needless to say – the room service is impeccable. When you stay at Leopard Mountain Lodge, you will be taken on safari in the Manyoni private reserve that includes the Big 5 and many other impressive animals. We admired the reserve’s beauty with lush hills and a winding river you can oversee from the premises (no need to go anywhere else for safari). If you wonder what awaits you at Leopard Mountain: Each day follows a routine (included if you book all-inclusive, and you can, of course, decide which elements to participate in). You will wake up early and have just a short coffee and cookies before heading out for your morning safari. Several rangers work exclusively for the lodge, and they will drive you through the private game reserve and find the animals you are most interested in seeing in the wild. Beyond all the Big 5, the Manyoni game reserve boasts cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, zebras (you name it), and hundreds of bird species – we saw all those above (and more) apart from the Leopard. After your return, you will have an excellent continental breakfast buffet plus eggs prepared to your choice. You then return to your chalet or enjoy a spa treatment (the spa is extra). A lighter lunch is prepared “picnic style.” We often enjoyed our lunch on the porch of our chalet. Before the afternoon game drive, sweet and savory muffins/cakes/quiches are served in the common area. You will return from the drive in time for a three-course dinner served outdoors in the shine of lanterns.

We had a fantastic experience in the Game reserve. On the first day we saw 4 of the Big 5 as well as countless sightings of a variety of wildlife, including birds. A special thanks to Alex, our Ranger and Guide, who was very knowledge on all the wild life in the park.
