About
The lodge is situated on the Sand River in the very heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. This reserve forms part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a 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 us world famous for wildlife, and lie at the heart of the Londolozi feeling. Over the course of more than four decades, a unique relationship has developed between our rangers and trackers and generations of wild leopards. Intimate leopard sightings are frequent here, an experience that our guests agree is a pinnacle life experience.
Londolozi is the original premier Big Five photographic safari destination in South Africa which has always been a model for social upliftment, conservation and land restoration in the country. As the model continues to evolve from its origins as a for-profit conservation development model in the mid-1970s to a blueprint for conservation in the Mandela government of the 1990s to where it is today representing a modern-day social enterprise. Its values of caring for the land, the people and the wildlife remain unchanged.
