Karula villa

A tribute to a majestic female leopard

Set along a drainage line that Karula would have favoured in her prime, the natural bush setting reflects her key qualities: tenacity and nurturing. Her hunting prowess saw her flourish, growing into a devoted mother. She secured her bloodline by rearing ten cubs in her lifetime - no mean feat in the African wilderness.

Karula villa

four luxurious PRIVATE guest suites

Each of the private guest suites accommodate a maximum of two guests per suite.
