Londolozi is one of South Africa’s original private game reserves. A pillar of global ecotourism, Londolozi are also a proudly family-run business. The word Londolozi comes from the Zulu word and means ‘protector of all living things’. The name ‘Londolozi’ reflects the ambitious conservation ethic in the reserve’s relationship with the natural world. The reserve has been lauded internationally for its far-sighted and progressive land and wildlife management, as well as its productive community involvement.
Londolozi’s emphasis on conservation and a village ethos stands alongside a commitment to luxurious accommodation, fine cuisine and exceptional service. In 1993, Londolozi became the first game reserve in the world to be accorded Relais & Châteaux status.
Londolozi’s powerful combination of geography and wildlife creates the famous atmosphere that returning guests call the ‘Londolozi feeling’.
Londolozi is situated on the Sand River in the very heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. This reserve forms part of The Greater Kruger National Park, a vast and growing area that currently covers six million acres and incorporates the famous Kruger National Park. Wild animals move freely across this vast space, offering spectacular game viewing and a true wilderness experience. Breeding herds of elephant and buffalo roam throughout Londolozi, while white rhino and lion concentrations are among the highest recorded on the African continent.
Yet it’s the leopards of Londolozi that make them world famous for wildlife, and lie at the heart of the Londolozi feeling. Over the course of three decades, a unique relationship has developed between rangers and trackers and generations of wild leopards. Intimate leopard sightings are frequent here, an experience that guests agree is a pinnacle life experience.
Londolozi believe in safari as a journey that delights the senses and enlivens the spirit. To have an encounter with wild animals in the African bush is to discover an essential truth about ourselves and our world. For all of us who have experienced the Londolozi feeling, our deepest wish is to give you the chance to experience this singular and magical encounter.
