About LeoLapa
LeoLapa boasts 10 kilometres of undisturbed Crocodile River frontage which has been designed to be viewed from almost every room, making your prime experience one of relaxation while enjoying the wildlife.
Along the length of the property adjoining the Kruger Park, the Crocodile River passes through reed beds, rocky fast-flowing channels and deeper pools. It is home to a high density of hippos and crocodiles. Where the river flows alongside the floodplain, the spotting of game coming to the river to drink is easy.
Meet the Team
Our team has been with us for many years and the members are part of our family, some of them literally and some of them figuratively.
We are passionate about what we do, love our jobs and have a great respect and joy for the hospitality and conservation industries we are privileged to be part of.
If you need anything at all, here’s who you should look forward to speaking with.
Muntu
Muntu has had many years of experience and his cheeky sense of humour with superhuman spotting abilities are an experience of their own. He’s not known as the Mjejane Lion Whisperer for nothing. Each and every game drive is usually an experience of a lifetime.

More About Mjejane Reserve
Mjejane adjoins the Crocodile River south of the Biyamiti section of the Kruger National Park. Technically the ecozone representing this area is referred to as Sabie/Crocodile thickets. This specific region is particularly appealing in that the vegetation is characterised by tall woodlands made up of knob-thorn and other acacia species mixed in with trees such as marulas, lead woods, bushwillow, apple-leafs, silver cluster-leafs and tambotis. Growing along the watercourses and drainage lines are magnificent trees such as the jackal berry, sausage tree and sycamore fig.
Being open to the Kruger National Park, Mjejane Game Reserve has the same variety of game that is found in the Biyamiti region – this includes The Big Five.
