OVERVIEW
Leopard Lodge is primarily a function and conference venue, but day visitors are allowed in for cycling (but it is strictly by appointment only!).
On your bike
The terrain provides some challenging riding over rocky outcrops. So, although the tracks hug the contours of the Magaliesberg Mountains forming the lodge’s dramatic backdrop, there may be sections that will have you off the bike and pushing.
Off the bike
The 248-hectare property has an abundance of birdlife, including the third largest breeding colony of the endangered Cape Griffon Vulture. In addition, game such as giraffe, kudu, blesbok, impala, bushbuck, warthog, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, nyala and zebra can be seen. Leopards are occasionally sighted at night.
