Leobo Private Reserve

About the Private Lodge

Leobo Private Reserve is a private 20,000-hectare safari oasis in the malaria-free Waterberg Mountains. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the award-winning Observatory Villa, with four individually designed suites (including a family bunkbed), an infinity pool, helipad, state-of-the-art observatory, and personalised butler, chef and guiding service. The experience is complemented by nine chalets at The Lodge, ideal for larger groups. Whether it’s dinner by the boma fire, relaxed hours by the pool or archaeological excursions, Leobo offers authentic luxury, creative freedom and boundless privacy.

Kids & Teens

For families, Leobo means uncompromising adventure: a child-friendly villa with bunk room, hippo camping, tree tents, quad bike safaris, nature play and astronomy in the dome with night-vision technology — exciting, safe and far from the ordinary.

Experiences & Activities

From helicopter safaris and skydiving experiences to quad biking, paintball, rock climbing and campfire evenings beneath star-filled skies — even with a loo-with-a-view. Wildlife, hippos and constellations become an immediate part of each day — tailored entirely to you and without limits.

    Destination region

    Waterberg

    The Waterberg Mountains in northern South Africa form a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and are among the country’s most pristine landscapes. Rolling plateaus, rugged rock formations and wide bushveld shape the scenery, where rivers and wetlands alternate with open savannah. Far from the major safari circuits, the region offers a malaria-free wilderness experience with remarkable biodiversity – from giraffes, hippos and leopards to more than 250 species of bird. Beyond its wildlife, the area is also rich in cultural significance: ancient San rock paintings tell the long story of the Waterberg. Its sense of seclusion lends the region an atmosphere of authenticity and exclusivity, perfectly suited to private safari experiences such as those found at Leobo Reserve.
