Leopard Sands, Kruger Park

My friend and I really wanted to visit Kruger National Park during our annual alternative thanksgiving trip and this year we chose South Africa! I usually make the bookings when traveling and when I saw this property, I knew I had to make it our home away from home, since I am a loyal Marriott member. Thankfully there was availability since there is less than 2 dozen suites available for booking. The property is just the right size and the customer service is AMAZING! Food was great and they try to switch it up everyday, which we really enjoyed. The dinner show was amazing as well - I would just recommend covering your food for a bit since they will kick sand towards your table (not intentionally but it happens since they are dancing). I cannot rave enough about the game drives - do as many as you can see and see all the beautiful animals. Just a one of a kind experience! Overall, I would recommend this resort due to its proximity to Kruger, the great food, relaxing environment, and how easy it is to get to from the Skukuza airport (they have a complimentary shuttle). The staff are just a joy to talk to and are very knowledgeable of the area. Shout out to Pastor, Fumani and Melissa. I am trying to hard to remember our driver to the game drives (front gate) and to/from the airport - HE WAS GREAT!

Room well appointed. Mini bar with soft drinks (free. For all inclusive). Plenty of tea/coffee. Insect repellent provided. View of river from room. Plunge pool (not heated). Mini bar filled with soft drinks only once per stay. Three night stay should have mini bar re-stocked every day for an all inclusive rate!!!!! Reception were surprised I even asked for a re-stock. Be prepared to pre-order your evening meal. Chef Sam very welcoming. Staff could be a little more attentive in the restaurant but I think they were low staffed. Only 18 rooms so quite intimate; not as intimate as some others we looked at with only 5/6 rooms. Game drives were great, we saw all of the big five; even if some were only from a great distance, and plenty more. We were not disappointed.

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.

Wir waren 3 Nächte im Marriott Leopard Sands Kruger Park. Sehr herzlicher Empfang, durchgehend sehr freundliches und kompetentes Personal , Tolle Suite mit kleinem Pool und sensationeller Aussicht auf den Fluss und auf die Hippo‘s, besten Dank an Sam , ein wahnsinnig guter Küchenchef, egal ob Frühstück, Mittagessen oder Abendessen alles in Perfektion gekocht. Die ganze Anlage ist komplett neu aufgebaut, toller Poolbereich. Die Gamedrives morgens und abends mit Muzi Safari Tours waren hervorragend.
