Black Leopard Camp, an affordable luxury Tented Camp, is situated in the Malaria free Thaba Tholo Wilderness Reserve, outside Lydenburg.

In addition to a wide variety of animals, not to mention the fantastic birdlife, it is also steeped in history. Ruins and artefacts abound! Black Leopard Camp is nestled in a secluded valley with the gentle murmur of a bubbling stream and majestic 500 meter high cliffs rising above the camp which will surely leave you awestruck! |

Black Leopard Camp Accommodation
The camp has been designed to capture the look and feel of centuries past whilst still offering the ultimate `Bush Luxury`. The canvas ensures that one remains close to nature while still enjoying the luxuries you`ve come to expect.
Each tented suite contains our famous `bush bathrooms` which allow you to soak in the memories of a fantastic day with the cliffs and the sky as your roof. In addition to the `bush bathrooms` each tented suite has an en suite bathroom.
The Black Leopard Camp experience differs from the traditional`eat-sleep-game drive`lodge, and offers instead an `immersion in the bush`. After our bush immersion our guests leave knowledgeable in the ways of the wild, thanks to our `fireside learning`discussions as well as: Amazing photographic opportunities...
Black Leopard Camp is an owner run establishment where extreme customer service is the order of the day!

Your Host
Mike and Karen Pearson (co-owners) invite you to join them at Black Leopard
Camp, to share in the more than 60 years of their combined experience
they have gained living and working in the bush.
Mike’s knowledge and ‘stories’ will not only keep you enthralled, but will teach you valuable lessons about nature and life, while Karen and their friendly team of local staff will pamper you with a mother’s touch to ensure that your stay is an unforgettable one! And as Mike always says “you will be back!”
Black Leopard Camp Activities
Game Drives
With such a large number of game and bird species found in this Wilderness,
you will be able to spend many hours traversing the scenic mountain tracks
in search of Leopard, Narina Trogan, Mountain Reedbuck, Black Eagle, Oryx
(Gemsbok) and of course our giant Kudu Bulls !
Your professional, experienced guide will skilfully lead you from the protea veld on top of a mountain to the lush vegetation of the lowveld in the matter of hours, all the while teaching you new and fascinating facts about the African Bush!
Bush Walks
On a beautiful morning and dependent on energy levels you can opt for
a bush walk in this wondrous wilderness, learning about the tracks you
may see – possibly tracking last nights Leopard movements! Along
the way you could have the opportunity to check on the “motion sensitive”
camera traps on the reserve, and hopefully be the one to get a picture
of the elusive Legendary Black Leopard!
Archeological Exploration
The Reserve boasts an amazingly high concentration of ruins, from early
pioneer (Voortrekker) to ancient indigenous tribes. Why not explore the
fascinating rock etchings or search for early artifacts with our metal
detector. The farm has aptly named a large pioneer settlement ‘The
Museum’ and many wonderful artifacts are found there daily from
porcelain to tools and more.
Astronomy
Even with the naked eye the stars over Black Leopard Camp at
night are truly breathtaking and anyone with a passion for the celestial
will spend many hours marveling at the clarity of the stars being viewed
overhead!
During your stay with us, spend a night SLEEPING OUT UNDER THE STARS - for a genuine bush immersion experience in our tails camp “Buffalo Thorn Camp” – roughing it and loving it ! and then return in the morning to the luxury of your tent at main camp Black Leopard.
Kruger Park Excursions
We are geared to offering a Kruger Park experience as an add-on to your
Black Leopard Camp stay. We will take you to the Kruger National Park
in a luxury air-conditioned mini bus for a night or two’s stay.
Our Owner-guide, Mike will accompany you all the way.
(Please note that we will quote separately for this add-on excursion). This excursion has to be booked and pre-arranged well in advance.
Fireside Learning
Part of the ‘bush immersion’ you will be experiencing is that
at all times you will be learning about the bush around you. At night
with drink in hand we will go over what we learnt that day and you can
ask the questions you forgot to ask or delve deeper into a subject that
catches your interest. At the end of your stay you can leave more knowledgeable
about certain aspects of the bush and the wonderful animals you have experienced.
Mountain Biking
We are happy for guests to bring along their mountain bikes, to enjoy
our challenging routes. At the moment the mountainous roads are more suited
to experienced mountain bikers.
Bush Relax
One of the greatest activities on offer at Black Leopard Camp is the fact
that you do not have to do any of the above! If you need some time to
just relax and find yourself again then this is the place. Relax on your
own private patio or with a book next to the splash pool or put your feet
up in the lounge – it is up to you!
“We design the activities around YOU!”
