Holidays to South Africa feature luxury safari experiences at lodges like Londolozi which is situated on the Sand River at the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park. Wild animals move freely across this vast space, with white rhino and lion concentrations among the highest recorded on the African continent. Breeding herds of elephant and buffalo roam throughout Londolozi, yet it’s the intimate and frequent leopard sightings Londolozi is most famous for. Five exquisite camps boasting luxury accommodation, stunning views, and exceptional cuisine means you will have a hard time deciding which camp to choose for your dream African safari adventure.
Nestled in the leadwood tree canopy, Tree Camp is comprised of 6 uber luxurious suites offering a sanctuary of elegance and sophistication. This exclusive camp epitomises luxury and style in every detail from the Ralph Lauren wallpaper to the plaited leather beds. Spend lazy afternoons on one of the salas (contemplation decks) viewing elephants as they pass in the river below or take a dip in your private swimming pool overlooking the treetops. By night the camp glows with lanterns and transforms into an enchanting oasis where you can dine like royalty.
Many Londolozi guest activities can be found within the surrounds of Varty Camp. These include the guest gym, the Londolozi Photographic Studio and Living Boutique. Guests from all camps are invited to make use of these facilities as well as the Yoga Deck, situated next to Founders Camp.
Life at Londolozi is dictated by the seasons; the vegetation and the animal behaviour shift with the rains of summer and the chill of winter. Rise before first light to join the early game drive – your every sense will be rewarded. As the sun rises, the booming snorts of hippo fill the air, while lions may be spotted in pursuit of the last traces of nocturnal prey. On returning from the drive and restoring yourself with a hearty breakfast you can either retire to the sanctuary of your chalet or indulge in a myriad of bushveld activities. Take a guided bush walk or create award-winning photographs in the Photographic Studio. Set off on the Village Experience or the Good Work Foundation Community Experience. If you are into health and wellness take a daily yoga class on the Yoga Deck or treat yourself to a heavenly massage or therapy treatments in the Healing House. If you love to shop, indulge in some retail therapy at the upscale boutique. Your evening game drives are a feast for the senses. Drink in all the postcard images around you: the bare thorn tree, silhouetted against a vast red sunset as the first glimmering stars appear.
Tree Camp does not accommodate children under the age of 16, unless guests book the camp exclusively.
The Best of South Africa Travel map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
