Leopard Plains

I can't say anything about the lodge itself. It may be great.... But: We were flying with a small airplane around Botswana and chosed that lodge because it has a small airstrip. 4 days prior our planned arrival, we have been noticed, that the airstrip is closed due to a lot of recent rain. So it was no use for us to visit the lodge, it was planned for just one night... The told us, we should fly to Maun and they would pick us up there. 160 km driving, all the requirements for a big international airport and 160 € charge for the pickup. That made no sense for us. So we changed our plans and skipped the lodge. They charged us the full price, not even a compromise with an aditional book of the dinner for me and my daughter. This might be rightfull, but I don't like people, who are just looking on short advantage with no sense of problems for others... So for me a never-again experience

My family of nine had a wonderful stay at Leopard Plains. From the moment we arrived the staff was very attentive and so friendly and helpful. It is so quiet and peaceful. And the food is delicious! I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed for 2 days, after having camped many days in different national parks in Botswana. It gave rest and piece, in an atmosphere of luxury and surrounded by nice people. On top of this, the food prepared by Paj was excellent.

As we went there after the rain in a green season, we didn't see any leopards. They might have come around our tents, but we couldn't see them. However the lodge was very welcoming: we arrived late but they organised a sunset game drive, they offered us pick up and drop off between the bus stop, and so on. The tent was spacious and cozy. The dinner was interesting as we ate bone marrow! We had a great time there. Thank you so much.

It was totally our fault but we arrived late due to 'quick' self-drive in Makgadikgadi taking way longer than expected! Luckily the staff waited for us to serve dinner immediately on arrival. And baked me a huge birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday! Tent was great but we didn't see it in daylight until the next morning! Loved the resident Oryx! A bit pricey though...

What an absolutely fabulous place. I booked Leopard Plains as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend at the end of September 2023 and he and I were blown away with everything. The rooms (gorgeous), the staff (lovely and friendly), the food (delish), the grounds (amazing and full of animals), the activities, etc. Exceptional. They even made my boyfriend a cake, and sang him happy birthday! :) We both could not recommend this place more and would 110% go back if we ever go back to Botswana. My boyfriend and I are both very into wildlife, and I in particular to birds. There was a water hole viewable from our room, where we could see impala, kudo, zebra and all sorts of bird life going to drink. We even saw a Spotted Eagle Owl! I would recommend the Makgadikgadi National Park day excursion and the sundowner game drive on the grounds. Loved the firepit area, where you could sit at night and look at the beautiful skies. It was a place where you could easily relax but also which could offer you different optional activities to keep you busy (if that's what you wanted). Thank you to everyone at Leopard Plains, you provided a perfect ending to our wonderful Botswana holiday.
