Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve *****
Leopard-Hills-Private-Game-Reserve-Room-Inside-View
Award-winning Leopard Hills is located in the western sector of the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve bordering the world famous Kruger National Park. This Sabi Sand lodge is perfectly set on a rocky outcrop, offering magnificent views over the bush and an active waterhole on the plains below.
The Reserve comprises over 10,000 hectares of incredibly diverse ecosystems making Leopard Hills the ideal destination to view plentiful game in its natural habitat. Here the ‘Big 5’ (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo and leopard) abound and viewing them at close proximity is our speciality.
White Pearl Resort *****
Inspired by the rich coastal biodiversity of the area and beautiful Indian Ocean reefs, the guest areas offer laid-back beachside chic, with spaces designed to relax and enjoy. The striking beach bar, set against a backdrop of white and turquoise, is at the heart of this unmatched beach experience. Stretch out on one of the beautiful over-sized day beds or comfortable loungers while you indulge in a refreshing cocktail with views over the great expanse of ocean and white sands. In this striking setting, put your feet up as you sip your favourite summer cocktail at the Ibiza-styled glamorous beach bar, recline on the wide deck soaking up the sun or head down to the beach for some R&R as you listen to the sound of the waves breaking nearby.

It is difficult to name a single secret, because as one of the most diverse and stunning country’s in the world, there are plenty of places and attractions considered to be a best kept secret. A visit to any small town, or a place off the beaten track is worth the trip because few people see it. To be more specific, the best hidden places you should visit include Clarens in the Free State, Riebeek Kasteel in the Western Cape, the Owl House in the Eastern Cape, the Sterkfontein Caves in Gauteng, the Drakensberg Amphitheatre in Kwa-Zulu Natal, and Pilgrim’s Rest and its surrounding mountains in Mpumalanga.
It is safe to travel South Africa by car but it is always advisable to rather book a tour that will include the transport. South Africa’s roads are not always in the best of shape, depending on where you are travelling to and South African drivers can be quite intense. If you want to have a more relaxed and laidback experience on the roads, book a tour or organise an alternative way to travel.
