Tucked along the winding Sand River in the world-renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Londolozi offers one of the most exclusive and immersive luxury safari experiences in South Africa. As part of the Greater Kruger National Park, this private reserve promises unforgettable wildlife encounters and soulful connection to nature.
Londolozi is not just a destination — it’s a deeply moving journey into the African wilderness. Guests are welcomed into a space where refined luxury, warm hospitality, and the rhythm of the bush create an experience often described simply as the “Londolozi feeling.” It’s an elusive blend of freedom, family, authenticity, and spirit, best understood when felt in person beneath the shade of the ancient riverine forest.
Over the decades, Londolozi has earned its place as one of Africa’s most legendary private game reserves. With a long-standing commitment to conservation, sustainable tourism, and community empowerment, it offers more than just a safari — it offers a sense of belonging in the wild.
The Sabi Sand is celebrated for its exceptional density of wildlife, but Londolozi is truly in a league of its own. You’ll witness large breeding herds of elephants and buffalo, regular sightings of white rhino, and impressive lion prides moving across the land. But what makes Londolozi globally famous is its unparalleled leopard viewing.
For over 40 years, Londolozi’s expert rangers and trackers have built unique, trust-based relationships with generations of wild leopards. This legacy has made intimate, close-up leopard sightings a defining hallmark of the Londolozi experience — one that consistently ranks as a bucket-list highlight for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike.
At the core of the Londolozi family is Varty Camp, where the original campfire has burned for nearly a century. This timeless safari lodge blends rustic charm with quiet elegance. Brick pathways, natural stone walls, and lush greenery create an atmosphere that is as welcoming as it is authentic.
Each chalet at Varty Camp features:
A private swimming pool
An outdoor shower beneath the trees
A raised timber deck with river views
An open-air dining sala for private meals under the stars
Families with children over the age of six are welcome, and select chalets offer interleading rooms, making this the ideal choice for multigenerational travel. The camp’s focus on heritage and togetherness makes it feel like home — but with the wonders of the African wild just outside your door.
Beyond the twice-daily game drives, guests can explore a variety of enriching experiences at Varty Camp, including:
The Londolozi Healing House, offering yoga, meditation, and rejuvenating spa treatments
The Photographic Studio, where guests can edit or print their safari shots with professional assistance
A well-equipped Guest Gym overlooking the wilderness
The Living Boutique, featuring curated crafts, fashion, and collectibles
The camp is also home to “Sparta Camp,” a tribute to the pioneering spirit that gave birth to Londolozi — a symbolic reminder of a time before conservation and ecotourism became the icons they are today.
Set on over 160,000 acres of protected wilderness, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve offers direct, fenceless access to the Kruger National Park. This open system allows free movement of wildlife and the highest density of leopards ever recorded in Africa.
Here, you’ll enjoy off-road game viewing, guided walking safaris, night drives, and an extraordinary chance to witness wildlife behaviors up close in their natural setting. For honeymooners, families, and adventure seekers, Londolozi represents the pinnacle of safari luxury with a deeply personal touch.
Londolozi is globally celebrated for its unrivalled leopard sightings. Decades of trust built between expert trackers and generations of wild leopards mean guests often enjoy remarkably close and intimate encounters — a wildlife experience that’s considered among the finest in all of Africa.
One of Londolozi’s most cherished experiences is a personalised picnic set high in the tree canopy, with sweeping views of the meandering Sand River below. This elevated dining experience offers both seclusion and serenity, ideal for honeymoons, proposals, or unforgettable family moments.
From private decks with plunge pools to candlelit bush dinners, every moment at Londolozi is designed to balance natural beauty with refined comfort — offering the ultimate in luxury safari living.
Londolozi’s on-site Photographic Studio and professional-grade equipment ensure you capture every moment in stunning detail — whether you’re a budding enthusiast or seasoned wildlife photographer.
Rejuvenate your body and soul at the Londolozi Healing House, where yoga, massage, and meditation blend effortlessly with the surrounding wilderness for a deeply restorative experience.
Londolozi’s prime position along the Sand River places it in the true heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve — widely regarded as one of the most productive and wildlife-rich areas in all of Greater Kruger National Park. This location offers exceptional year-round game viewing, especially for the Big 5, and is internationally celebrated for incredible leopard sightings.
For the best photographic opportunities, plan your game drives during the soft light of early morning or golden hour in the late afternoon. The river draws a constant stream of wildlife — from herds of elephants crossing the water to big cats stalking its banks — making it one of the most rewarding spots for wildlife photographers and safari lovers alike.
If you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or milestone trip, be sure to request a tree-top picnic or private dinner on your deck — it’s one of the most memorable and romantic ways to soak in the panoramic views of the Sand River and the untamed wilderness beyond.
Lastly, take time to unwind at the Healing House or book a session at the Photographic Studio for a professional touch to your safari memories. These thoughtful additions elevate the Londolozi experience far beyond the traditional game lodge stay.
