Londolozi |
"Today, Londo(lozi) is a paradigm of the new conservation movement, setting standards to which other luxury lodges and private reserves aspire."
Tatler magazine "During my long walk to freedom, I had the rare privilege to visit Londolozi. There I saw people of all races living in harmony amidst the beauty that mother nature offers. Londolozi represents a model of the dream I cherish for the future of nature preservation in our country."

"Londolozi is part of the Conservation Corporation, one of the most highly regarded wildlife companies on the continent. This small lodge does almost everything right, from rooms of unmatched elegance to superb cuisine and game-viewing. A class act all the way."

"This lodge is famous for its leopard. The landscape - tangled vegetation and, along the Sand River, weathered boulders - is the Bel Air, the Park Avenue, of leopard habitat."

Londolozi Private Game Reserve is an unashamedly exclusive and luxurious safari destination covering 14 000 hectares (34 580 acres) in the heart of the game-rich 56 000 hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Londolozi is a Zulu word meaning "protector of all living things" - an ambitious conservation ethic that Londolozi embraces in its sensitivity to the natural world. This is why the Londolozi Model is the blueprint of CC Africa's founding principles: "Care of the land, care of the wildlife and care of the people". |

The story of Londolzi began in the late 1920s at, of all places, a tennis party. On a piece of virgin bushveld on the clear Sand River, the first camfire was lit amid the roar of lions. This is where Londolozi stands today, one of the most sought-after ecotourism destinations in the world.

Londolozi offers four private camps and one lodge - Bateleur Camp (previously known as Main Camp), Tree Camp, Safari Lodge and Bush Camps: Founders and Pioneer. Each has a riverside location.
The reserve is internationally recognised for its far-sighted and progressive management of land and wildlife rehabilitation as well as productive community involvement. |  |
