Camp

Exhibiting a truly distinctive design, the camp seamlessly integrates beachy thatch with contemporary angles and modern furnishings, interspersed with a hint of antiquity – a combination that may seem eclectic but harmonizes beautifully. The sprawling deck merges cozy seating nooks with panoramic vistas of the wilderness. Adorned with cushioned chaises and innovative hanging recliners, the deck serves as the primary dining area, although inviting indoor spaces, such as the book-filled lounge featuring a stone fireplace, offer additional comfort.

Rooms

Elevated amidst the treetops and enveloped by tiered decking with private plunge pools, the camp features eight open-plan canvas tent structures. Almost entirely glazed walls afford panoramic views, while the canvas ceilings adorned with vintage botanical illustrations infuse a nostalgic charm. Each tent boasts a sumptuous four-poster bed complemented by a plush sofa/daybed and a designated dressing area. Behind a privacy screen, the bathroom boasts a claw-foot tub and a walk-in shower, with an additional outdoor option. Catering to families or small groups, Leadwood Villa comes equipped with its own safari vehicle.

Activity

Commencing before dawn, your day kicks off around the fire with a steaming cup of coffee. While the prospect may send shivers down your spine, these early game drives offer unparalleled opportunities to witness wildlife at its most active, ideal for avid photographers. Late-afternoon drives capitalize on peak activity periods, punctuated by sunset stops for the quintessential sundowner experience. Night drives offer the chance to spot elusive creatures such as aardvarks, aardwolves, honey badgers, bushbabies, and pangolins, adding an element of intrigue to your safari adventure.
