"Outstanding experience, truly a highlight of our trip! The accommodation was amazing felt like luxury but you were still in nature. The tent was very clean and the staff turned over our room daily for day and evening (example tent flaps up during the day for more light and closed at night). Staff were friendly, meals were good, and the evening camp fire was a great way to meet other travelers.
The stand out was the amazing game drives, our driver and guide Taisa and tracker Derek were great and...

"We had a lovely room and bathroom and the whole guest house is excellent. Mandy and Simon are fabulous hosts and their only interest is that you have a good time. The cooked breakfast was one of best I have ever had. Without doubt we would choose to stay at the Bhangazi Lodge if we were visiting St Lucia again."

"Had an amazing stay in this luxurious accomodation with an extremely complete room/kitchen to be self sustainable. Host was very friendly, happy and helpful which contributed to our stay. We were very sad to leave after two days."

"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 property is beautiful and I loved the boardwalks through the forest. The staff was very helpful, professional, and friendly - they went out of their way to accommodate me as a vegetarian and the chef made a delicious curry even though it wasn't on the menu. Thank you for the lovely stay!"

"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."

Leopard Corner Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic property, really just a beautiful, wonderful place. We only stayed for the night but would love to come back and enjoy the Leopard Corner for a week or so, there’s so much to see and do and the place is so comfortable, clean and at the same time homey. The host was fantastic, so gracious and we had to leave early to catch a flight so he packed us a to go lunch. Highly, highly recommend, 10 stars! *****"

The stand out was the amazing game drives, our driver and guide Taisa and tracker Derek were great and went out of their way to get us the best viewings and ensure animals we wanted to see were a priority. We had the same guide team the entire stay which meant they got to know us and tailor our game drives to what we had already seen.
This surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend. "
"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!"
"So i went to Bhangazi for work purposes, and i found the place stunning and i love the old style setup.it is a very nice quiet place the owners have a great customer care orientation and serve their clients with honor irregardless of their skin color.they serve a top notch breakfast way better than some hotels. I will recommend it to anyone at anytime and it's on my list for family vacation "
