Leopard Sands, Kruger Park

Words will not justify our magical 5 star bush experience at the incredible Leopard Sands Kruger Park. A huge shoutout to the most hospitable team that greeted us most enthusiastically after our long drive from Botswana, refreshing us with cold towels and exotic drinks. Van and his team made our stay most comfortable and memorable, we applaude your service and the warmth you have shown our family. Every meal from entrée to dessert was prepared exquisitely, we acknowledge the amazing and friendly chef, Sam- truly a palatable experience! We were mesmerized by the views of the majestic animals from the deck, a most tranquil experience. The rooms were beautifully designed to enhance your African experience, decorated with gorgeous Leopard photograph frames. The attention to detail in every aspect of Leopard sands was amazing 👏 we recommend booking your next bush trip with them and guarantee that they will not disappoint. We thank you and we will definitely be visiting again. The Bhamjee Family- Botswana

Can't recommend this hotel enough. It's about 7 months old with beautiful African inspired furnishing. The rooms are all well spaced and special , with sweeping views of the River and Kruger Park. But the most impressive part is the staff...absolutely world class. Hospitality at its best . Kudos to the entire team who made our stay very special

Wow, what an exclusive and exquisite lodge in the heart of the Kruger. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and was mesmerized by the luxurious and beautiful decor throughout the lodge, the incredible views and outstanding service. The suite was stunning boasting an indoor and outdoor shower, a private plunge pool with majestic views of the river and game. The cuisine was superb. Wonderful boma area and an infinity pool. Absolutely loved the stay at this exclusive and exquisite lodge. Highly recommend Leopard Sands.

我們在克魯格公園豹金沙萬豪酒店住了 3 個晚上。非常熱情的歡迎，非常友好和稱職的工作人員，很棒的套房，有一個小游泳池，可以看到河流和河馬的壯麗景色，非常感謝山姆，一位非常好的廚師，無論是早餐、午餐還是晚餐，一切都做得完美。 整個建築群已完全重建，泳池區很棒。 Muzi Safari Tours 的早上和晚上的開車遊獵非常棒。

Had a mixed experience here - the hotel itself and staff are amazing. Rooms are gorgeous. Staff is attentive and delightful. Where it falls down is on the game drives. We saw A LOT of wildlife - however the Guide was not well-trained (I have trained as a guide myself and have been on numerous safaris). I have shared more detailed concerns with the hotel. Next time I would stay at a game lodge with it’s own reserve and avoid having to go into the crowded southern Kruger.

While the resort is modern and what you would expect in your room for the price you pay, unfortunately the service is very sub par. I did reach out to the resort once we checked out, to provide them with the below information and just as I thought would happen no one bothered to reply. when we paid over $25k for 2 rooms over Christmas we would have expected at least a reply, given it is stated as a 5 Star Resort. these are the issues we faced, while nothing was life changing with all of this on a daily basis, it ended up being a bother being here in the end. - [ ] Christmas Eve dinner, sat at 6;40 and had to go to the bar to order drinks as no one served us. Then the drinks were forgotten and we had to recorder after 20 mins [so 40 minutes after seated we finally got our drinks which was only Coke Zero], mind you there was only a few other couples in the place when this happened. - [ ] Food came out after chef said he made sure my meal had no spice. Cauliflower and potato had chilli. Chef came out and I told him my steak was amazing but the potato and cauliflower had spice and he said oh yeh they both do have spice. I am confused why I was still served spice when only 20 minutes before I told him I don’t even eat pepper So the following night I only had Pumpkin Soup as an option in the middle of summer. -[] The menu was extremely limited when you are only offered 3 options for main, 2 for entree and a couple of items for desert. I assume this was because it's an all inclusive resort. The menu is on rotation every few days also. - [ ] Our laundry was taken without the sheet filled out, as normally when you have a washing basket it is not taken until you fill out what’s in there. The following night laundry was returned and wasn’t ours. I guess someone may have got our laundry, and took a further 36 hours to get ours back. - [ ] While the staff are all lovely you can tell they don’t have great training for what is expected in a 5 star resort. Both my husband and myself travel extensively and have stayed in a lot of 5 star hotels around the world. We know what to expect with a rating of 5 stars. The staff when the restaurant had more than 20 people were in a state of unorganised which we saw on Christmas Eve. - [ ] Many meals we had items forgotten, and we simply didn’t say anything in the end, as it looked like we were “just complaining” small things like breakfast ordering avocado and being forgotten when it is written down. - [ ] After saying no spicy food at all I was served up the chicken Kiev with chilli on top and in the sauce once again and there was no other non spicy options on the menu. I also heard a mother complain as there was no actual kids menu offered. - [ ] We paid for all guides, to be private in a private vehicle, and had to repeat ourselves several times when asked if we were joining for the next day or afternoon drive. We would say oh we have a private tour, and was asked “oh did you book it” and I had to say yes
