Once you have experienced a stay at Leadwood Lodge you’ll be longing to take root there as deeply as the ancient trees after which the Lodge is named.
Nestled in the fork of the Sand and Mabrak Rivers, Leadwood offers a cosy and serene getaway that is completely at peace with the bush that surrounds it.
With only four suites carefully distanced from each other, Leadwood is ideal for families or parties of friends who want to share their safari experiences without intruding on each other’s privacy.
Termite mounds form a fascinating and distinctive feature of the Sabi Sand landscape. These mounds are created by termites and are constantly expanded while inhabited. When the colony is abandoned, the mound is often taken over by a variety of creatures, from smaller inhabitants such as mongoose, rock monitor or snake to larger dwellers such as aardvark, porcupine, warthog or even spotted hyena. A dense thicket may often form on the site of the old termite mound, creating an ideal hiding place for the cubs of many animal species, including leopard and lion.
Bare rocky outcrops have formed on some parts of the Sabi Sand reserve with sparse grasses and trees such as the rock fig, with its white stem and long roots that cling to the rock faces, or the distinctively shaped candelabra tree. The narrow crevices and stony ledges provide a home for a host of reptiles, including the rock monitor, giant plated lizard and rainbow skink. The dainty klipspringer and the stocky rock dassie vie for space with baboons on the precarious rocky precipices. Small caves or rocky overhangs offer the perfect hiding place for lion or leopard cubs.
