Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

Londolozi Founders Camp

The family who own Londolozi have decided to return to run the property themselves so the reserve is in a current transition from the previous management of CC Africa. We are excited to see what this brings back to this series of lovely camps. The location in the Sabi Sands and game viewing are stellar. The camps are a bit tired and in need of refurbishment, so we will look to see what develops.  — Mango's view

Londolozi Private Game Reserve is a 14,000 hectare (34,580 acres) exclusive safari destination situated in the heart of the famous Sabi Sands Game Reserve on the western border of the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Meaning "protector of all living things" in Zulu, Londolozi is renowned for its progressive eco-tourism practices, and is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in Africa.

Londolozi was established as a family bush camp in 1926 by the Varty and Taylor families whose friendship and collaboration continues today. Londolozi has earned an international reputation for its unmatched African wildlife experience, personalized service, superb safari accommodation and excellent relationships with its neighboring communities - commended as such by Nelson Mandela, who visited the reserve shortly after his release from prison.

You stay at Londolozi Founders Camp situated in a dense riverine forest overlooking the Sand River. This charming safari camp offers breathtaking views of the bushveld and African wildlife. Founders Camp comprises comfortable sitting areas which lead to an elevated wooden walkway ending in a relaxing game viewing deck - perfect for watching herds of waterbuck grazing on the riverbank. Each of the 5 chalets and the suite feature a beautiful glass-walled bathroom with enticing wilderness views. A sparkling swimming pool is contoured to complement the curves of the Sand River.

Delicious Pan-African cuisine is served in the boma (outdoor dining area), or on the dining deck overlooking the river. Londolozi is renowned for wonderful bush banqueting in scenic wilderness settings.

The Sabi Sands is known for having the best available Big Five game spotting in the country. Located on the southwest corner of the Kruger National Park, there are no restricting fences separating the two reserves, and the animals roam freely just as nature intended.
