"Leopard Walk Lodge: A Perfect African Retreat After a demanding business trip from the USA, Leopard Walk Lodge was the ideal place to unwind before my 30-hour flight home. With a small number of luxury lodges, each designed for complete privacy, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the African bush. The accommodations are beautifully furnished with all the amenities you could need, including excellent WiFi. However, it’s the stillness of the wilderness that truly soothes the soul, inviting...

"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs. I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."

"Very nice guesthouse and hosts. Guesthouse was newly built, is in an extraordinary good condition and was opened not a long time ago. We had a spacious family room with a very big bed. Breakfast was excellent quality. Freshly baked muffins from Melissa, eggs on request, an assortment of (real) cheeses and slices of sausages. When we arrived we had a very warm welcome. We had a welcome drink and Melissa's dad drunk a cool beer with me. Also organized a stunning whale watching tour for us."

Leopard Tree Lodge

Leopard Tree Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I recently spent a night at Leopard Tree Lodge in St Lucia, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome to the peaceful atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations. What We Loved: ✅ Beautiful Setting – The lodge is nestled in a serene, natural environment, with lush greenery and a relaxing vibe. Perfect for couples! ✅ Comfortable & Clean Room – Our accommodation was spacious, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. ✅ Friendly Staff – The team was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. ✅ Great Location – Close enough to St Lucia’s attractions (like the estuary and restaurants) while still feeling secluded. Highlights: The tranquil ambiance—perfect for unwinding. The lodge’s charming design, blending nature with comfort. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend Leopard Tree Lodge for anyone visiting St Lucia—whether for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. We’ll definitely be back!"
