    Sabi Sands, South Africa

    Londolozi

    A Relais & Châteaux-certified game reserve

    A private game reserve near South Africa's Kruger National Park

    The Londolozi reserve has always been independent and family-run with a strong conservation ethic and commitment to both positive impact travel and local community involvement. That’s not to mention a long-standing relationship with its resident leopards, possibly providing the best viewing of these beautiful yet elusive creatures anywhere in Africa.

    Located on the banks of the Sand River in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Londolozi enjoys an enviable position on the edge of the Kruger National Park, with six million acres of bush teaming with the Big Five and the highest concentrations of elephant, buffalo, white rhino, and lion on the African continent: this is safari at its best.

    It’s hard to find anything to fault with the lodges (especially having just been awarded Relais & Chateaux status), what with their refined natural elegance, personalised service and sense of history.

    There are five different lodges to choose from with varying degrees of luxury and privacy although it has to be said that the standards remain exceedingly high throughout – Tree Camp, Founders Camp, Granite Suites, Pioneer Camp and Varty Camp.

    The activities offered at the Londolozi reserve are broad and bespoke to every guest, and we highly urge you to try the sleep-outs and fishing.

    Places to combine Londolozi with

    Tswalu Kalahari Reserve

    The Kalahari

    Tswalu Kalahari Reserve

    The malaria free Tswalu Reserve, owned by the Oppenheimer family, consists of over 100,000 hectares of the ‘green’ Kalahari grasslands home to eighty mammal species and 340 varieties of bird.

    Furthermore, the reserve is not further divided up into concessions or reserves and the only accommodation is the Motse Camp and Tarkuni House, which only allow for a maximum of thirty guests at one time in the entire of Tswalu. If you are staying for three nights or more you’ll also get a complimentary private vehicle, guide and tracker to make this your very own private Kalahari. The motto is, if you see another Range Rover on your game drives, complain.

    And whilst you really couldn’t get any further from a package holiday, the accommodation at Tswalu truly does have it all ‘wrapped up’ as far as a five-star safari lodge goes, with more luxury, authenticity, exclusivity and conscientiousness than any other in Africa. Having won awards for both their spa and conservation work, you just have to see the efforts they make to look after the wildlife and support local communities to know the lengths they go to look after you.
