Most romantic destination # 04: Londolozi Private Game Reserve
[Location: Sabi Sand, South Africa]
Londolozi Tree Camp
Londolozi offers four private camps & one lodge - Bateleur Camp, Tree Camp, Safari Lodge and Bush Camps: Founders and Pioneer. Each has a riverside location. Our choice for the most romantic and luxurious of the four is the Londolozi Tree Camp. Capturing the essence of total relaxation are the private salas [butlers], found in 3 of the suites.

These intimate covered decks extend into the treetops by a short elevated walkway. The deck floors feature inviting chairs and comfortable foot-stools.

"The story of Londolozi began in the late 1920s at, of all places, a tennis party. On a piece of virgin bushveld on the clear Sand River, the first camfire was lit amid the roar of lions. This is where Londolozi stands today, one of the most sought-after ecotourism destinations in the world."

Location:
.


Londolozi Private Game Reserve is an exclusive and luxurious safari destination covering 14 000 hectares (34 580 acres) in the heart of the game-rich 56 000 hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Londolozi is a Zulu word meaning "protector of all living things" - an ambitious conservation ethic that Londolozi embraces in its sensitivity to the natural world. The reserve is internationally recognised for its far-sighted and progressive management of land and wildlife rehabilitation as well as productive community involvement.

Accommodation:
.
Londolozi Bathroom
Each of the six air-conditioned luxurious suites has its own cascading plunge pool, outdoor shower and en suite bathroom featuring a huge, inviting tub. The private decks with plunge pools and outdoor shower overlook the lush banks of the Sand River. The tree-shaded teak decks and private outdoor showers lead into sumptuous interiors of soft silks and suede lit by carved Zanzibari lamps. The spacious en suite bathrooms have heated cobblestone floors, inlaid with pebbles from the Sand River.

Facilities:
.

Londolozi Bateleur Camp
Tree Camp takes its name from the ancient Ebony Tree shading the camp. Small and exclusive, Tree Camp is surrounded by large, shady trees and offers wonderful views of the Sand River. The camp has a lounge area with guest library. The main sitting area leads out onto a large wooden deck, raised on stilts and elevated over the river. There is a large swimming pool set in the camp's garden. Guests are welcome to visit Londolozi Bateleur Camp's curio shop and orientation centre.

Cuisine:
.

Cuisine at LondoloziElegant candlelit dinners are enjoyed in the boma (reeded enclosure). You can savour Pan-African cuisine - food for the soul. This melange of traditional African recipes is enhanced by Africa's famous spices - saffron, vanilla, cumin and nutmeg. At Londolozi Tree Camp, you can indulge in moonlit bush dinners and private bush breakfasts. Dinners are served in a clearing in the bush under a star-studded sky. The incredible effort, the surprise, the spectacular settings, visual impact and fairytale-like atmosphere of dining under the stars are an unforgettable African bush experience.

Activities:
.


Game Viewing at LondoloziActivities at Londolozi centre around game viewing drives in open vehicles that traverse an area of some 14 000 hectares (34 580 acres) in search of wildlife, including nocturnal species viewed after sunset. You may request the sole use of a Land Rover for game viewing, (subject to availability.) Armed rangers will lead you on bush walks - the quintessential wilderness experience. The Shangaan are renowned trackers of wildlife - a skill honed to perfection among the many CC Africa trackers and rangers. Shangaan people are in the majority in the southern Lowveld and most of the staff at Londolozi come from this cultural group. Your game viewing experience is complemented by many other memorable activities such as: moonlit bush dinners, private bush breakfasts, guided stargazing trips, bird-watching, port served on the airstrip - usually after dinner on a clear night*, fishing with bamboo rods and "magic bush boxes" for children, visits to the staff village encompassing the crèche, school, adult learning centre, clinic and craft centre (available to guests at Tree, Founders, Pioneer and Bateleur Camp), bush presentations in orientation centre (available to guests at Tree, Founders, Pioneer and Bateleur Camp)

*If you are wondering why we would invite you to sip port on the Londolozi airstrip - all will become clear when you are driven there on a cloudless night. What you will see is a panorama of breathtaking proportions. Since the airstrip is on a slope, the ground seems to slip away from you into a massive sky full of shimmering constellations.

For those cosy winter nights - a collection of wildlife books, magazines and videos are available for you to enhance your enjoyment of Africa. There is also a guest library at Tree Camp.
