Londolozi is located in the Sabi Sand Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, South Africa's biggest and best game reserve. There are no fences between the Kruger and the Sabi Sand, allowing animals to roam freely and retrace their natural migration patterns.
The game viewing here in nothing short of sensational. There is a dense concentration of wildlife, including over 330 plant species, 45 fish species, 30 amphibian species, 110 reptile species, 500 bird species and 145 mammal species, including the Big Five - and this is probably the best place in the world to get up close and personal with the elusive leopard.
Londolozi, over its 82 year history, has built up a formidable team of experienced rangers, trackers and naturalists. With over 16,000 hectares of traversing wilderness, no 2 game drives are ever the same. Trackers sit up at the front of the Land Rover looking for fresh animal tracks, while rangers drive with astonishing skill through ravines and thickets in pursuit of elusive animals. And all the while wowing guests with their outstanding knowledge and unforgettable stories.
The Private Granite Suites offer an extraordinary experience for the exclusive use of up to 6 guests. Bold, inspiring materials mirror the granite rocks that flank the camp while conveying the raw essence of Africa. A palette of silver, charcoal and elephant grey in a range of sumptuous materials creates an elegant and contemporary setting in each of the 3 expansive suites.
The emphasis is on space, light and privacy while blurring the barrier between inside and out. A seamless integration with nature is achieved with large doors and windows all opening directly onto the Sand River. Each suite has a private, heated swimming pool.
The 3 suites can be booked individually or as a private camp for up to 6 guests, making it ideal for honeymooning couples or small groups celebrating special occasions.
