Manyoni Private Game Reserve & Umhlanga Rocks

DESCRIPTION

A four-night getaway in Manyoni Private Game Reserve, home to Africa's Big 5 and Umhlanga Rocks coastal town. Leopard Mountain Lodge is a special destination atop the rugged hills of Manyoni with conservation at the forefront of everyday living. On arrival you will quickly settle into the safari lifestyle, with twice daily game drives (late afternoon and early morning departures), meals spent back at that main lodge deck or under the stars in the boma, and moments in between spent lounging by your private plunge pool. Complementing your Big Five Safari is the delicious cuisine that is offered throughout your visit as well as an onsite spa where you can enjoy being pampered amidst gorgeous bushveld views.

After two days of searching for wildlife and hopefully getting some excellent sightings, you will be transferred to the beautiful beach town of Umhlanga Rocks for a two-night luxurious stay at the Oyster Box Hotel. This is one of the best hotels in the country and is situated on the doorstep of the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. Spend your days relaxing by the pool, tanning on the beach or dining and shopping in the nearby village.
