Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're thinking of booking this, I would 100% say do it. It is absolutely awesome.

The snow leopards were awesome. That's with the gorillas, but I don't know. The snow leopards were very very cool.

It's not a cheap night, but it's it's pretty good value, isn't it, for what you get for it, I think.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check the weather for the specific location, not where you live, as it gets much colder at night.
✓Book the Leopard Creek cabins for the unique skylight feature and better privacy.
✓If you want better coffee, visit the coffee house rather than the main Pavilion Cafe.
✓Pick your days to visit to avoid crowds; weekdays or winter visits are quieter.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Privacy in accommodations — Choose Leopard Creek or treehouses over the 'bubble' accommodation for better privacy.
Cold weather during the stay — Bring warm layers as the open buggy rides and night-time activities get very chilly.
