Our Story
In 1997 our family realised their dream of owning and running a Safari Lodge! With no previous experience in hospitality, but a great passion for conservation and a drive to give exceptional service to guests, we embarked on our journey to create an outstanding family-run lodge in Zululand. The lodge was built by the family with stone and locally sourced materials with the help from the community members who were brought in and taught how to build. In 2003 Clive Vivier began sharing his dream of creating a large conservation area with our neighbours. Giving birth to the 58 000 acre Manyoni Private Game Reserve. The years that followed saw a flurry of exciting introductions creating a haven for the big five and endangered species like black rhino and wild dog. In 2017, we celebrated 20 years of hard work from our dedicated team of 40 incredibly professional staff, led by Ryan and Joe Vivier. Our extended family are passionate about what they do and embrace the values and ethos that Leopard Mountain lives by. We have enjoyed over 20 years of amazing guests that have visited Leopard Mountain time and time again and who appreciate what makes our piece of heaven so unique. The most breathtaking views in Zululand are seen here, from the meandering Msunduze River below to the distant Lebombo Mountains, where Africa's Great Rift Valley begins. Let us take your soul on a journey where you will discover the essential truth about yourself and your world, enticing your senses and enlivening your spirit along the way. Witness endless sunsets melting their final rays into the horizon, the smell of fresh rainfall over Africa's plains and a feeling of peace and tranquility as your African dream unfolds into a truly memorable reality. Wild animals roam freely over this vast wilderness providing spectacular game viewing and intimate encounters with some of Africa's most endangered species. At Leopard Mountain, we aim to give our guests a holistic Safari experience featuring the planet's Largest Land Mammal to the smallest insect or flower. This is where the journey begins...
