Leopards are among the most elusive of the Big Five, making every sighting a truly special experience.

At Elephant Plains, we’re fortunate to have some incredible encounters with these magnificent cats, with our expert guides offering fascinating insights into their behaviour, individual stories and the dynamics that shape their lives in the wild.

Wild, rare, and always fascinating to witness. 🐾

African wild dogs are among the bush’s most remarkable predators, known for their teamwork, intelligence and incredible hunting strategies. Every sighting offers a glimpse into the complex lives of one of Africa’s most endangered carnivores.

Once you’ve stayed with us at Elephant Plains, you appreciate it more.

Maybe it’s the wildlife, the open bush, the quiet moments in between… or simply the feeling of being here.

And we love hearing that same feeling echoed by our guests. One recent guest summed it up perfectly:

“Honestly there is no picture that really shows the beauty and feeling of grandeur of this place, there are no expectations that are not exceeded! It’s a thrill to be in front of such spectacular creatures, that it has no definition! One of the best trips of my life!”

Our heritage is more than the places we come from. It’s the land we share, the wildlife that has roamed it for generations, and the wild spaces that continue to shape who we are.

From the call of the wild to the animals that have become part of South Africa’s identity, these landscapes are a part of our story.

This Heritage Day, we celebrate the people, places and wildlife that make South Africa home. 🇿🇦

Happy Heritage Day from all of us at Elephant Plains. 🐘

A leopard sighting is never just about seeing a leopard.

It’s the story that unfolds around it, where it’s been, where it’s going, which territory it’s moving through, and sometimes, the other leopards it shares this space with.

Over time, you start to recognise individuals and notice their different personalities and routines. And that’s what makes each leopard sighting at Elephant Plains so interesting. You’re not just watching an animal; you’re getting a little glimpse into its life.

And every now and then, you get to see something really special. 🐆

We are privileged to be watching these cubs grow into the lions we will see roaming around Elephant Plains soon.
