Londolozi Private Game Reserve

An absolute gem in Sabi Sand. Stunning setting, exceptional service, and the kind of immersive safari experience that stays with you long after you leave. Truly world-class — highly recommend.

Londolozi was one of the most extraordinary experiences of our lives and the perfect way to spend part of our honeymoon. We obviously came for the safari, and the game drives somehow just kept getting better. We watched lions roaring at sundown, drove side by side with two lions for 45 minutes as the sun rose, chased cheetahs and wild dogs through the trees as they hunted, and watched a leopard in a tree with an impala while a hyena waited below. Every time we thought we had seen the highlight of the trip, Patrick and Dorence somehow topped it on the next drive. But what really made Londolozi so special were the people. Patrick, our guide, Dorence, our tracker, Sam, our camp manager, and Nomsza, our butler, each made us feel like a member of their family. We are usually pretty introverted and tend to keep to ourselves when we travel, but by the end we were having dinner with Patrick and giving Sam and the rest of the team hugs goodbye. We felt genuine sadness leaving, not just because the game drives and hospitality were over, but because of the people we were saying goodbye to. The village walk was another highlight and gave us great insight into the Londolozi community and what makes the place so special. The food was also incredible. We expected to eat well, but we walked away from basically every meal saying it was one of the best meals we had ever had. We looked forward to every single meal. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our honeymoon. Londolozi was so incredible that it actually made the next few days of our honeymoon harder to enjoy, in the best way possible. We just kept talking about how much we missed it and everyone there. Granite Camp is a truly special place, and we couldn’t recommend Londolozi more highly. Granite Camp specifically, or frankly wherever Sam, Patrick, Dorence and Nomsza happen to be. If you are considering going, go. You WILL not be disappointed.

I had an amazing experience here and I will definitely be coming back.

We went to Londolozi expecting something good and were transported into an all round first class experience. Our guide and tracker Jerry and TK were the heart of the experience delivering life long memories every day finding and getting us close to the amazing animals. Every day brought something more special than the last. We even managed to come across a couple of honey badgers! The rest of the experience, the service the dinners and the general ability for all of the team there to say yes to all requests was also special. Thank you too all at Londolozi for the amazing time we had there from Patrick, Jessica, James and Emma.

This was our third safari, and after stays at 12 different camps, we rate Londolozi one of the top three. There are several choices of camps to choose for-all delightful! We stayed in the Varty camp, and our room overlooked the river and a great deal of lush vegetation since they recently had had considerable rain. At sundown, just before dinner, we looked down from the main deck in the restaurant area to see a group of elephants munching on the green vegetation. Another day, outside our room, there was a young Impala, who was enjoying the vegetation as well. The rooms were beautifully appointed with every conceivable amenity you could want. We had our own plunge pool on the deck, but unfortunately, it is winter now, the pool is not heated, and it was more than a tad cold. The beds were very comfortable. There was both an indoor and an outdoor shower and a luxurious tub. The food was very good with enough choices for everyone to be satisfied. Staff was attentive, and delighted to help with any request that we made. The highlight of our stay, there was our Safari experience because of the amazing tracker and ranger team that we were blessed with. Meg and V were unstoppable in finding game for us to watch and marvel at. Meg’s genuine enthusiasm and joy at each find was infectious and made every outing a great adventure. We saw the Big 5, herds of various African antelope and innumerable birds. Because it was still very green, it was sometimes difficult to spot the game (clever critters) but our team was successful. Our most exciting discovery was the pack of wild dogs on the airstrip which we followed to their kill and watched the hyenas move in to finish off the bones-all that was left. Londaoozi has quite an interesting history which can be found on their website and is definitely worth reading. They are very focused on sustainability and minimal impact to the land and the animals. This is their 100th anniversary, and we highly recommend it.
