Overview of Londolozi Founders Camp

Londolozi Founders Camp is a classic safari camp in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve and provides the perfect location for a sophisticated family safari as it is one of the few luxury camps to accept children of all ages. Indeed, Londolozi will keep all of you busy during your stay: Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve is a premier Big 5 game viewing destination and guarantees excellent sightings with normally elusive leopards a speciality.

Leave at dawn and again in the late afternoon on guided game drives with an expert ranger and tracker in search of the Big 5 and other classic animals – you’ll return to camp via a spotlit night drive to tick off some of Africa’s rarer creatures while guided walking safaris in between game drives will help you appreciate the smaller and more intricate details of this teeming environment. You could also do a spot of fishing on the Sand River or book a spa therapy to relax your body and mind.

    General Facilities

    The camp’s main area consists of a dining area with a relaxed bar area connected to a thatched game viewing deck and a riverside lounge sala affording excellent views of the river and your surroundings.

      Londolozi was wonderful. Our guide, Sandross was fantastic.

      Londolozi was amazing. The staff are part of the community and showed us their village – very nice! The ranger, Sandroz has been there for 25 years and we could not have had a better guide. He has a special understanding of the animals.

      Londolozi is a different kettle of fish. The staff were all very young and good looking. We actually had a great time at Londolozi with the young staff and rangers. We were paired with a young couple from Singapore and had a blast. The last night, the ranger and the other couple and other staff had dinner at our table and we drank and told jokes all night! So Londolozi is very nice, but more casual. The food was also OK. We saw a lot of game because we were able to get off the road, but the rain there was incredible too. I really liked it because they had camera equipment for rent there. Apparently they do lots of photography safari. They had a whole media centre where you could even get your prints worked on and printed on canvas for framing.

      Thank you so much again. Everything was great and we loved South Africa. The accommodations were all impeccable with great service. The transfers also worked out great and we found the drivers very prompt and informative.

      We will definitely refer our friends to you in the future. Hopefully we will also be back and use you again 🙂

      Londolozi Game reserve was unbelievable from the beautiful rooms to the welcoming staff to our guide Kate whose knowledge of the animals and love of both them and Africa was infectious. We took pictures that could grace the pages of National Geographic and each of us fell in love with the countryside and the people.
      I can truthfully say that the service we received in South Africa was second to none and having travelled all over the world to some wonderful places, that I think is really something for South Africa to be proud of.

      It is almost unfair to even compare it to the other places we stayed. The room was grand, the staff clearly took pride in their jobs – from our wait staff to the managers – and our guide and tracker were wonderful men to spend time with. They went the extra mile to find us wild dogs and a black rhino – the only animals we hadn’t yet seen.

      Londolozi was really the highlight of the trip. Food, rooms, service, and setting were all perfect. The game viewing was wonderful. We saw all of the big five, three different prides of lions (one with cubs), rhinos twice, multiple herds of elephants, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, jackals, etc. Our only regret was that we were only there three days.

      Londolozi was exceptional. Callie, the manageress really went to a lot of effort on our behalf. We were upgraded to Tree Camp and put in an absolutely stunning villa. They could not have done more to make our stay any more memorable. That place knows how to treat customers and I am going to write a letter of thanks to them this weekend.

      The properties were awesome, all of them. i cant really think of anything that was not great, it all went smoothly. I guess the only thing i would have done slightly differently is flying straight into Londolozi, which apparently has an airstrip (but they dont seem to advertise it for some reason) and the Londolozi was out of this world. Only wished we could have stayed longer.

      Our plane ride from Elephant Plains to Londolozi took 3 minutes. The pilot said it would have been a 1 hour drive. Londolozi is just as you said, “very special.” The ranger and tracker were great. The food was delicious. The room was a little over-the-top for being in the bush. It was truly stunning. They don’t have any fences so the animals are free to roam the property.

      Everything about Londolozi was perfect! The setting, the people, the animals….everything was wondeful. In particular, our tracker Freddy, ranger Helen and hostess Maggie were excellent. They all seemed guinuinely intersted in their work. Helen and Freddy would be just as excited as us when we spotted an animal. The game drives were beyond words. We saw so much! We would recommend this location to anyone without reservation. In fact, we hope to return in the future.

      WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! We got upgraded into a Pioneer Camp Room because they were relatively empty, but used the Founders Camp public spaces. The room was absolutely beautiful, and we toured the entire camp and looked at rooms in each camp–all of them were just beautiful, even the cheaper Founders Camp rooms. The food was delicious, the managers and rangers were so friendly and lovely, and the game drives were fantastic. We saw the big five in the first day, and wild dog puppies, and cheetahs… everything we could want. I really think Londolozi may be my favorite place to stay in the world! We really had an amazing time.

Oxide was our ranger, and with Eckson as our tracker, we saw all of the Big 5 in the first 2 days! Our butler Witness was so attentative to everything, whether we asked him out loud or just thought it in our heads. The food was lavish and tasty–I think we gained 5 pounds during those 3 days.

      In londolozi, it was also a good time, but we had a less interesting guide and a bad tracker; there were a too many people in the lodge and in the bush; however we saw a lot of animals, lions feeding on a zebra, leopard in the tree feeding on an impala and the hyena waiting under the tree the meat falling down.

      The bush school is probably the highlight for my kids – i would recommend making it a focal point of your sales pitch to families because aside from being great for the kids who would otherwise be bored in the middle of the day at a lodge it also gives the parents a chance to chill.

      It was amazing. Room, food, driver/trackers, atmosphere, all exceptional. Really like the “small” Founders area. We only had 3 rooms being used (out of the four) while we were there so it felt like we were often by ourselves. The drives were great – all the big five and lots and lots of leopards. Plane flights were fine – especially liked the small craft (other than the heat) to and from Londolozi.
