About this place

A glass-fronted house in the cloud forest. Leopard Rock Forest House sits in Vumba, mountains of the mist. The place is looked after by a resident team who know the area well and are happy to help with directions, firewood and local guides. Rooms are simple and well kept, with good beds and proper linen. Power is backed up so lights, Wi-Fi and fridges keep running during outages, and water comes from the property's own supply. Evenings are best spent outside by the fire.

The space

Bedrooms open onto a shared veranda. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and there is covered seating outside for meals.

    Stayed November 2026, solo trip

    The solar kept everything running through a long evening power cut and the borehole water was strong. Hosts met us at the gate and had the fire laid.

    Great value for a family. The children lived in the pool and the caretaker lit the braai for us each evening.

    We woke to elephants at the waterhole both mornings. Staff were warm and the cook made the best sadza and stew of our trip.

    Quiet, cool and green. Wi-Fi was good enough for video calls. The only thing missing was a second set of keys for our group.
