"Great overnight stay in a very peaceful setting. A last minute booking and the staff were great. Thank you"

"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!"

"Best accommodation in and around Hluhluwe "

"Bhangazi Lodge is a lovely guest house in central St. Lucia. My room was large and clean with its own bathroom, a slider to the pool, TV, and a refrigerator. AC was excellent and they had power available even when the town power was out. Kettle in the room as well. They served a hot cooked-to-order breakfast which was included and delicious. Also coffee, tea and bottled water were always available. Walkable to the town and the beach, but at night you have to drive due to the hippos wandering the streets. There are a lot of restaurants very close. There is parking at the building behind a gate. Very secure. The host Simon was extremely knowledgeable about the area and what to see and do. I highly recommend staying here."

"Brilliant as usual"

"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 relaxation and rejuvenation. The staff’s hospitality was exceptional. From the flawless check-in and check-out process to their warm Zulu smiles, they made me feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail ensured every need was met effortlessly. The food was outstanding, with both breakfast and dinner showcasing home-cooked quality and local flavors. Service during meals was attentive yet unobtrusive, adding to the overall sense of comfort. Whether relaxing on my private deck or exploring the nearby paths, I was immersed in the peaceful beauty of the bush. Watching the sky shift at sunrise and sunset was magical, reinforcing the lodge’s calming atmosphere. Leopard Walk Lodge offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and connection with nature. For anyone seeking a true escape, it’s a place to reset, recharge, and leave feeling refreshed and ready for what’s next."
