There are many very good lodges in the Sabi Sand area, but Leadwood Lodge 'raises the bar' in terms of personal service and exclusivity, partly because it consists of only four individual lodges, and partly because of the attentive but unobtrusive service offered by every member of staff. The lodge overlooks the confluence of two rivers, but water levels will... More

We have just returned from our honeymoon, having spent 4 nights at Leadwood Lodge, Exeter Private Game Reserve. This was our first safari and we knew that this would be an amazing experience, but could not have imagined just how special it would be. Our expectations were exceeded on every level. Sabi Sands is a spectacular location and Leadwood Lodge... More

My husband and I just returned from a dream trip to Africa - and this was by far, the highlight. Leadwood Lodge holds a very special place in our heart and it's due to the wonderful people that run this place....not to mention the stunning accommodations, food, and game drives. Every minute was better than the next, and we cannot... More

It was a soul filling, mind blowing, exhilirating, amazing experience! The highlight of course are the animals. We saw so many! Tracking lions... More

I can't say enough great things about Leadwood or @Beyond in general. The food is fresh and healthy, the staff is lovely, and the game drives life changing. If you have the pleasure of driving with Andrew the ranger you'll have the most amazing time. His knowledge and excitement on seeing the wildlife is infectious. Overall if you have the... More

Leadwood was by far the biggest and most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in. My husband and I went there 2 weeks ago for our honeymoon. There are only 4 rooms, which are really villas. Each room has its own deck and plunge pool. They're completely private, with beautiful views of the river that surrounds leadwood. Each day we took... More

We spent two nights here in early October for our honeymoon, after having previously stayed at Dulini for two nights. Leadwood is phenomenal - top of the line. The lodge and accomodations are a little more contemporary feeling. The main lodge area and the rooms have much better views than Dulini. The food and staff expertise level is similar -... More
