Leopard Hills is amazing. You can check it out at www.leopardhills.com. It is very beautiful and the staff is wonderful. You can work out in the gym overlooking the watering hole or have a massage in a glass room overlooking the entire valley. We also get cell service and the internet. Technology is amazing.

We just returned from our morning safari (they set you up at 6:00 am with cozy blankets and hot water bottles to keep toasty. I would think it's about 55 to 60 degrees before the sunrises and it gets to about 80 to 85 in the afternoon. We have had perfect weather from the day we arrived in South Africa. Not too hot, nice cool breezes and white puffy clouds. Lucky us. This morning we tried to track a pride of Lions with two small cubs but they outsmarted our tracker June. We will look for them again tonight. We did kick back and enjoy about 20 elephants just 10 feet from us feeding on their way to a watering hole. We also spotted Impala (you see them everywhere), a cute pack of playful Mongoose, Scrub Hare, Warthogs, Waterbucks, Nyala, and Gnu. We are going

The sunrises and sunsets are amazing here and the blanket of stars at night are truly out of this world
to look for a pack of Hyena tonight complete with cubs. We saw one late last night that was tracking a Leopard who was hunting the Impala....it truly is survival of the fittest out here in the Sabi Sand.
