Londolozi Game Reserve

Londolozi Private Game Reserve is a 14000-hectare (34 580 acres) exclusive safari destination situated in the heart of the famous Sabi Sand 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 ecotourism practices, and is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in Africa.

Londolozi has earned an international reputation for its unmatched African wildlife experience, personalised service, superb safari accommodation and excellent relationships with its neighbouring communities – commended as such by Nelson Mandela, who visited the Reserve shortly after his release from prison.

Londolozi’s four private camps and intimate Safari Lodge offer world-class sophistication and style in the African bush.

Accommodation

Londolozi Pioneer Camp:
Cresting a gentle rise with elevated views of the Reserve, this elegant bushveld safari camp features just three suites in secluded bush locations and three unique safari-style chalets with breathtaking river views.

Londolozi Founders Camp:
Charming and intimate, Founder’s Camp comprises five chalets and one suite, all with private verandas affording magical views of the Sand River and lush riverine bush. En suite bathrooms with glass walls offer tantalising views of the African wilderness.

Londolozi Varty Camp:
Characterised by a timeless safari ambience, eight chalets and four suites all feature private plunge pools and decks with expansive river views. Londolozi’s rich history is preserved and recorded in the original camp built in 1926.

Londolozi Tree Camp:
This romantic camp comprises six sumptuous suites furnished in African safari style, each with its own private oasis – a plunge pool and luxurious sala (outdoor covered deck). Inviting guest areas and a large sparkling swimming pool add to Tree Camp’s charm.

After 36 km (1km past the Lisbon store) you'll find the turn-off to the Sabie Sabie Game Reserve on your left. (It is a gravel road). At the entrance gate pay a vehicle entrance fee and follow the signs to Londolozi.

Climate
Situated on the Lowveld plain at an altitude above sea level of about 350 metres, Londolozi falls within the Savanna Biome of Southern Africa, with Mixed Lowveld
Bushveld being the recognised 'veld type'.

Rainfall is confined largely to the summer months between September and April, mostly in the form of late-afternoon or evening thunderstorms. Daytime temperatures in the summer are high and may soar above 36°C; the nights are usually warm.

The winter months between May and August are dry, with chilly nights and crisp early mornings (3°C is the minimum). The days however are fine and warm and game viewing is often at its best with sparser vegetation and greater congregations of animals around waterholes.
