Welcome to Black Leopard Mountain Lodge, a breathtaking establishment nestled in the heart of Lydenburg. This exquisite self-catering lodge offers a truly unique and unforgettable experience, combining the beauty of nature with the comfort of modern amenities. With its stunning location in the malaria-free Thaba Tholo Wilderness, Black Leopard Mountain Lodge provides a tranquil setting for an unforgettable getaway.



Prepare yourself for an adventure like no other as you embark on a thrilling 800m drop down the majestic mountainside in our specially adapted 4x4 vehicles. As you descend, the anticipation of the wonders that await you builds, promising a truly memorable stay. Our lodge is home to a diverse range of mammals, birds, and flora, immersing you in the wonders of the natural world.





Owner-run and managed by Alan, Lynsey, and their dedicated team, Black Leopard Mountain Lodge invites you to indulge in its luxurious tented accommodations. A warm welcome awaits you as you sip a refreshing drink on the pool deck, overlooking a bubbling stream with a cliff face rising 500 meters above you. The attention to detail is unparalleled, ensuring that your stay is nothing short of extraordinary.





Each of our tented units provides unrivaled comfort, featuring spacious king-size beds that promise the best night's sleep you've ever had. Immerse yourself in luxury as you enjoy the convenience of en-suite bathrooms, complete with an exquisite Victorian ball and claw bath, perfect for indulging in a relaxing soak while admiring the breathtaking views that stretch before you. Life's stresses melt away as you sip a glass of wine and lose yourself in a good book.





At Black Leopard Mountain Lodge, we take pride in our sustainable practices. Operating off the grid, our lodge generates its own electricity, ensures a reliable water supply, and responsibly manages waste removal. While we encourage you to disconnect and embrace the serenity of nature, there are two-pin plugs available for the charging of your essential devices. Please note, however, that we kindly ask you to leave your hairdryers at home. Should you really need to use one, we provide a designated area where you can blow-dry your hair, but only when our generator is running.





Dining at our lodge is a true delight. You can savor our famous "Fireside Fare" or choose to indulge in a self-catering experience in our cozy dining area. Unwind with a couple of drinks in our bar, boasting excellent views over the valley.





Experience the wonders of the surrounding landscape with our daily game drives or bush walks, guided by our knowledgeable and experienced team. Gain insight into the fascinating ecosystem that thrives here, and keep your eyes peeled for the elusive leopards that call this wilderness home.





From the moment you arrive until the moment you bid us farewell, Black Leopard Mountain Lodge becomes your bush home away from home. You will leave as part of our family, cherishing memories that will last a lifetime.
