South Africa Tourism Awards

Type: Tour operator & agents
Category: Innovative

Motivation for award: During the pandemic, Leopard founder Diana Granoux, found herself with very few clients and a lot of time on her hands. Podcasting is not commonly used in tourism and Diana saw a chance to be innovative and create a podcast that showcases the incredible diversity found in South Africa. Together with Disruptx, Diana produced a 8 part podcast featuring South Africans from a mix of backgrounds and professions. Featured guests were: Ngoni Mtizwa, Sommelier from Singita; Les Carlisle, Conservationist; Jo Buitendach, from PAST Experiences; Scott Ramsay, a well known photographer; DuduBloom More, an Artist; Pavs Pillay, a Marine Biologist; Sean Privett from Grootbos; and Marnus Scholly, Executive Chef at Tswalu. You can listen to the podcast here: https://leopard.voyage/podcast/

Region: Gauteng / South Africa

Leopard, and Diana specifically, created and arranged a special personalised tour for us – it was absolutely world class giving us such very special memories. They are operators who deliver service with passion and reflect such refreshing positivity on our wonderful country – truly inspiring. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for that dream holiday. You will not be disappointed.

Michael Caulton – 17.02.2022
Great business, getting my vote

Jean Caulton – 17.02.2022
Leopard’s regular newsletters during the very depressing covid period were a very bright light of hope shining on the beauty of South Africa and the fact that there was light at the end of a very dark tunnel. There was positivity that we could all visit and enjoy the South African experience one day soon! It is my sincere hope that Leopard now reaches great heights of achievement which is richly deserved.

Sheilagh Pringle – 17.02.2022
Wishing Leopard so much success
