Leobo Private Reserve – Leobo Lodge
Waterberg Region Limpopo
Leobo Private Reserve is a completely private 20,000 acre estate based in the beautiful Waterberg mountains, 3 hours drive north of Johannesburg and home to Leobo Lodge, which exudes a rustic luxury atmosphere and has sweeping views of the Palala Valley below and of the horizon.
We don’t offer time-tabled game drives, rigid programs or meals at set times. Of course you can go on game drives whenever you like, day or night – whenever suits you. But Leobo Reserve is for people who want a bit more out of life than a bunch of Kodak shots of the Big Five. You can do anything if you like…Just ask!
