A Hideaway of Pure Exclusivity – nestled at the serene confluence of the Sand and Mabrak Rivers in the heart of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, Dulini Leadwood Lodge offers the ultimate retreat for discerning guests seeking privacy, elegance and exceptional game‑viewing. With just four expansive river‑front suites, indulgent design and a setting where the bush comes to you, Leadwood epitomises bespoke safari sophistication.

With only four suites carefully distanced from each other, Dulini Leadwood Lodge is ideal for families or parties of friends who want to share their safari experiences without intruding on each other’s privacy. When booked for individual use, rather than sole-use, we only ever use three suites, so the number of guests on the game drive vehicle is never more than six
