Review by: Bernice Himmler, Switzerland (stayed: October 2012)
We spent the most wonderful week in Leolapa at the beginning of October. What a beautiful, spacious and luxurious lodge it is. It is really "over the top" quality and living at its very best. Everything was there that you could wish for. We made good use of the bar and the braai and of course enjoyed watching the rugby. The only regret was of course that the Springboks did not make it. We loved it on the patio, relaxing and chilling out, enjoying the fantastic views and we saw quite a lot of game come down to the River - elephants, buffalo, all sorts of buck and of course the hippos were there to stay. One night elephants came up to feed on the bushes by the fence just a few feet away from the patio. Awesome! We really have unforgettable memories of our time at Leolapa and we all intend to return again one day and enjoy the South African bush, staying in one of the most stylish and upmarket lodges on the Crocodile River. Thanks Sascha, Yanka, Heinz and Este for everything. |

Had an absolutely amazing stay at Leo Lapa. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful setting with a more luxurious home. Everything we could have dreamed, big five sightings right from the pool, fantastic air conditioned rooms, gorgeous kitchen and entertainment area. The lodge Ranger, Bianka was a star and kept us entertained for hours! We will definitely be returning SOON!!! |

The perfect breakaway for anyone! Luxurious accommodation with the most wonderful atmosphere and stunning views of the river for everyone to enjoy. Super game drives with lots of animals to see...but the most wonderful part is waking up in the morning...and majestic animals like the rhino & elephant are feeding at the river, only a couple of hundred metres away from where you can comfortably enjoy your first cup of coffee.. Definitely a must see... |

We've had the absolute fortune to stay at LeoLapa twice now and it's heaven in its own right! What's better than having an ice cold drink from the luxury of the swimming pool overlooking the Crocodile River and spotting the Big 5 from where you stand! Leo Lapa is AWESOME! Thank you SO much!!!

I have just spent an amazing christmas at LeoLapa! My trip was made by a herd of over 200 elephants walking down in front of the house to the river to drink. I have been to the bush many times and have never witnessed such an amazing site. We all sat in the pool with our drinks in hand and watched as the elephants came in thier hundreds. The house itself is stunning and I couldnt have asked for a better place to spend my chrismas! |

We stayed at Leolapa in November this year. To say that we lived like millionaires would be a lie, staying at LeoLapa was like living the life of a multi-millionaire. Everything about our stay was absolutlely amazing. The accomodation was awesome. Sascha was amazing and made our stay so very special, thank you so much Sascha. We went on 3 safaris and saw four of the big five. Cant wait for our next visit. |

Review by: Wendy and Mike Sidwell, Bryanston (stayed: October 2011)
Mike and I spent the first three days of our trip on our own and I must say the house really lends itself to either two people or a full house and we were very happy on our own. The fact that the majority of the rooms are behind you (if you choose a room close to the lounge) means that you don’t feel that you are rattling around. We loved just lazing on the patio, reading our books with binoc’s and bird books close at hand. Our first day we chose to stay at home. On waking, from my bedroom window, I saw a Cardinal Woodpecker that stayed around all day. Going onto the patio to identify it, I also saw a Goliath Heron fishing at the Hippo Pool. The tree in front of the house is a constant ‘bird party’ and kept me entertained all day. A gazillion lbj’s (little brown jobs) led to much discussion and the bird book got lots of use. We settled under our umbrella’s and had a constant stream of game coming down to drink. Every time I looked up from my book another ‘rock’ got my attention and up went the binoc’s. The hippos kept us entertained when the bush had gone quiet. A bush buck is living in the bushes directly across from the swimming pool. Two enormous crocs visited the sand bank in the middle of the river. We had lots and lots of Ellies come down all along the river throughout the day and the buffalos came down to the river bend away to the right. On the opposite river bank, we saw impala, warthogs, kudu, monkeys, giraffe. Two Rhino came down to the river to the left. The second morning as I came through to the lounge to make a cup of tea, there were two big male waterbuck directly outside the kitchen window (on the empty plot). After making eye contact with me through the window, they moved down to the fence and from a standing start, simply jumped the electric fence. I was amazed. What a lovely way to start the day. We went into the Kruger for the better part of the day and apart from some lions didn’t see much more than we had seen from the patio. So on the third day, the patio won and we were forced to spend the whole day on our loungers again – it was hell being in Africa! We were joined by a house full of people that evening and we took them on a game drive to show them the reserve. We drove down to the dam and had sun-downers being entertained by Ellies swimming and irritating the hippos. The reserve didn’t disappoint and aside from the normal suspects, we saw a huge herd of buffalo, at least 200 strong, probably more. We ID’d from the patio - Chinspot Batis, Paradise Flycatchers, Goliath Heron, Saddlebill Stork, African Spoonbill, Egyptian Goose, Grey Heron, Fish Eagle, Red Wing Starling, Cape Glossy Starling, White Bellied Sunbird, Crested Barbet, Southern Yellow Billed Hornbill, Green Wood Hoopoe, Pied Kingfisher, Grey Lourie, Fork Tailed Dronga, Arrow Marked Babbler, African Red-eyed Bulbul, Great (White) Egret, Hadeda ibis. Over and above these we saw a beautiful Marshall Eagle in the reserve itself. We seemed to go from one magical moment to another, and all in all, another wonderful couple of days. |

Our stay at Leolapa was incredible. A first time for us in South Africa and what an experience. What wasn't there to like? You are in the Kruger park surrounded by all of these amazing animals - most of which I'd never seen before - in a stunning house overlooking the river that frequently attracted elephants and hippos to bathe and drink. Leolapa was five star all the way, so spacious and beautifully finished and furnished with a feeling of being at home as soon as you arrived. Let's not forget the Leolapa bar which catered for our every need, and a magnificant outdoor bbq area that is just perfect for socailising in large groups. Add to this the swimming pool that looks onto the river and I think you have the picture. Should you got to South Africa? Definitely! Should you go to the Kruger Park? Without a shadow of a doubt (apart from my friend's wedding the Kruger was by far the highlight of my trip) Should you stay at Leolapa???????? GOD YEAH!!!!! I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Enjoy your stay - I am already jealous. |
