Community and Conservation

As one of the founders of the Manyoni Private Game Reserve, Leopard Mountain has chosen to support two great causes the first being the Zululand Rhino Orphanage. This is a fantastic initiative which aims at rescuing and rehabilitating baby rhino when their mothers have passed away either from poaching or natural causes. So far they have an excellent track record with a good number of reintroductions back to the wild.

The second being the Zululand Conservation Trust which aims to support both Local Community and Conservation Initiatives. Whether it is painting a Crèche, conducting school children's awareness safaris or a conservation Fund raising Drive Leopard Mountain tries to support as much as possible.
