Oh Leshiba you sing to me of sandstone rock
And mountains clad in green,
Of earth red soil
And secret streams and waterfalls.

I would easily give this 10 stars if I could. The staff is perfectly attentive and accommodating. Upon arrival we were greeted by staff and offered a cold beverage as... read more we checked in. We were so lucky to stay in one of the new luxury suites which included our own plunge pool and fire pit, yoga platform, indoor and outdoor shower, and wrap around deck. Each morning I woke up to the sounds of the young impalas sparing and could watch them from the comfort of my bed! The rooms are stunning and so private and comfortable.
Our game drive guide was fantastic and our sundowners were beautiful with our favorite beverages.
We hiked all over the property and up onto a ridge that feels like the end of the world in the most magnificent way! We choose a few of the more difficult hikes, but also enjoyed a very easy trek around the property as well.
The bird watching from the deck of our suite and the main lodge was unreal! There are hundreds of different birds to observe. Really spectacular!
For cooler days, there is a game room with views of the water holes. There you can warm up by the fire, curl up with a book, play cards or mancala, or make your own bracelet.
The food was also fantastic. Every meal. We had a diverse group of eaters from vegan to paleo and we all enjoyed beautifully prepared and delicious food. We were never with out options and enjoyed afternoon tea at our leisure.
I got a massage while I was there. I was celebrating my birthday while there and the massage table had a flower petal greeting of "Happy Birthday" for me. The massage was wonderful.
There is not a single thing I would have changed about our stay except to have been able to stay there longer.
The owners are so gracious and warm. It was really an unforgettable experience. Without question or hesitation I will return on my next trip to South Africa later this year.
