Mvula villa
Dedicated to the once dominant male leopard whose home range was central to the Cheetah Plains Private Reserve
Set in a grove of cathedral Tamboti trees, the aura of this residence exudes the force that was Mvula. Known for his hunting prowess and regal stature, Mvula's matchless potency and adaptive nature saw him siring many cubs, securing his noble bloodline. In this distinctive setting that is Cheetah Plains, his revered spirit lives on.
Mvula villa
