The Luster & Luxury of Londolozi
Londolozi Private Game Reserve is unrivalled in terms of it's cultural heritage, luxurious atmosphere and incredible saturation of wildlife. It is arguably the best place for viewing game in the whole of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, hence why so many of our guests wish to experience it.

Migration Through The Maasai Mara
The Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is an incredibly iconic safari destination in Africa. In addition to there being a multitude of beautiful wildlife species that thrive in this fertile eden, the spectacular Great Migration also passes through here every year. The bountiful Mara River flows through the reserve and it is on these banks where the sheer magnitude and danger of the migration can be seen. Wildebeest and zebra need to cross the water in order to reach grazing
One Family’s Journey of a Lifetime
Family safaris that are privately guided and chartered are what we do best and, we believe, the most fulfilling of all journeys. Every time I return from a trip like this, I get feelings of deep nostalgia, overwhelming joy and even a little sadness. Nostalgia, because it reminds me of the journeys I have done with my own family and the memories we made together. Joy, because of the privileged position I am in to witness families take in the beauty
East Africa: The Whole Picture
East Africa is often associated with a well known motion picture: "Out of Africa". This film displays rolling vistas of grasslands and mountains, dotted with a myriad of mammal species, endless plains and a sense of complete wilderness. In real life, this is truly not far from the truth! There are still vast stretches of land that are protected within National Parks such as the Masai Mara and The Serengeti. Besides these areas, there are countless more habitats and reserves

Londolozi & Royal Malewane – A Tale of Two Camps
The coming together of different families and generations, on any occasion, is something to be celebrated. In our busy lives it is hard to find the time to see the people that matter most. Therefore, when we get the chance to do this in a special place other than our home towns or cities, it can be a life changing experience! And when Ronda and Kelly reached out to us to arrange a family safari, we knew this would be

Delta Luxury Through New Eyes
No amount of research or conversation with anyone could have mentally or emotionally prepared me for my recent trip to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. This was going to be my first safari experience and to an extent I thought I knew what to expect… I was wrong. People talk of life-changing travel experiences which can so often sound cliché, however, I can truthfully say with hand over heart that I am definitely not the same person I was before
