Oh, thanks for that. The Marakele National Park is a similar distance from Johannesburg, but out of the malarial zone, and the site says:
Marakele is home to most of the large mammals synonymous with the African bush, including elephant, black and white rhino, and leopard.
TBH, leopard doesn't interest me quite so much, because I saw, by chance, one of what I was told was five wild leopard left in Israel in 1992. (Our tour guide was wondering where the ibex were; when we saw the leopard eating its kill barely fifty yards away, we realised they had smelled it.) The site goes on to say, however:
Large Predators such as brown hyena, leopard and now also lion, occur in the park. Resident antelope include, sable, kudu, eland, impala, waterbuck, tsessebe and many smaller species. Chacma baboon and vervet monkey are two species to be watched carefully for mischief, particularly around the rest camps.
