Varty Camp, the original heart of Londolozi, unfolds like a living tapestry — winding brick pathways, rugged dolerite stone walls, cascading waterfalls, and climbing vines framing open spaces with uninterrupted river views. Its earthy palette and welcoming atmosphere reflect the owners’ near century-long devotion to this land, placing family, legacy, and heritage at its core.

Children aged six and older are warmly welcomed, making Varty Camp a natural choice for families. Select inter-leading chalets provide added flexibility, while each suite offers its own private plunge pool, outdoor shower, and shaded dining sala. Timber decks, raised gently above the ground beneath an ancient riverine forest, create a tranquil setting immersed in nature.

Within the camp, guests have access to a variety of enriching spaces, including the Guest Gym, Photographic Studio, Living Boutique, and the restorative Healing House. At its centre lies the charming “Original Sparta Camp,” a preserved piece of history that predates Londolozi itself — a quiet reminder of generations past and the evolution of safari life.

The Essence of a Luxury Kruger Safari

An exceptional Kruger safari is shaped by two defining elements: location and local knowledge. At Londolozi, both are woven into the experience. Generations of trackers and guides — many having spent decades working closely with the land and its wildlife — bring a depth of intuitive wisdom that cannot be taught. Their insight positions guests for extraordinary encounters, revealing moments in the African bush that few others witness.

Situated in the heart of the private Sabi Sands Game Reserve, adjacent to the vast Kruger National Park, Londolozi occupies one of the most sought-after wildlife regions in South Africa. This prime location ensures remarkable game viewing and an unrivalled safari setting.

After nearly 100 years of living safari, the Londolozi journey has evolved into a richly layered experience. Many guests describe it as moving through “Chapters of Safari,” where each visit uncovers something new. Whether embarking on a first safari or returning as a seasoned traveller, guests discover that Africa reveals itself slowly — each chapter drawing them deeper into its story. While some luxury safaris fade into memory, Londolozi reshapes the way one connects with the wild.

Photographic Safari

Londolozi has earned global recognition as a premier wildlife photography destination — an inspiring place to both learn and refine the art of capturing the wild.

Guests may reserve a private safari vehicle for individuals or families, accompanied by a dedicated Ranger and Tracker team who tailor each outing to specific interests, whether birding, botany, big cats, the Big Five, walking safaris, or immersive wilderness experiences. This personalised approach is ideal for experienced safari travellers or those seeking greater privacy.

Photographers also enjoy access to the on-site studio, where Lightroom guidance and post-production support are available to prepare images for printing. Professional Canon and Nikon camera bodies and lenses can be hired during your stay, ensuring you have the right tools to capture every extraordinary moment.

Luxury Wellness Safari

For over a decade, Londolozi has been at the forefront of wellness safaris, recognising nature as a powerful catalyst for personal transformation. By reconnecting guests with the rhythms of the wild, these experiences encourage meaningful rest, renewal, and reflection.

Through curated retreats and immersive programmes, Londolozi collaborates with leading wellness practitioners, life coaches, wisdom teachers, and spiritual guides from around the world. Together, they create transformative learning environments that nurture rejuvenation and awakening — all within the profound setting of an African safari.
