Location
The lodge is perched on an escarpment with views across the Leobo Private Reserve. It can accommodate up to 18 guests, though it works best when taken exclusively by a family or group of friends travelling together who then have the services and full attention of the lodge staff.
Accommodation
Leobo Lodge is set up so you can have an action-packed day from dawn to dusk and beyond. That said, if you do want to skip the activities and take a siesta or read, there are plenty of peaceful spots to do so.
The lodge is split onto two levels and has eight bedrooms in total, each with en-suite bathrooms and a private deck overlooking the Palala Valley. Built over two levels, there is plenty of indoor and outdoor space throughout the lodge, with an indoor and outdoor dining area, and a boma where evening meals can be enjoyed around the roaring campfire. It’s a fabulous place to relax.
Experiences
At Leobo you’ll never be bored! There are game drives, quad biking, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, fishing, and even helicopter flights and skydiving!
Younger children are also well catered: they can swim in the lake, climb ant hills, or head out on a bug walk. Following animal tracks with an expert guide will appeal to guests of all ages.
