Londolozi Pioneers

By Matthew Sterne on June 4, 2008

Once again I have been incredibly priviledged to visit the Sabi Sands and the world renowned Londolozi Pioneer Camp

This is where the Varty family arrived over 80 years ago, after many days of back breaking travel and came to rest surrounded by the most incredible scenery. A strong colonial influenece runs throughout Pioneer Camp with memorabilia from the early days of the Varty family as well as photographs of these great pioneers.

The Main lodge area is centred around an incredibly inviting kitchen, which allows interaction between guests resulting in some fabulous meals and award winning wines. After a great meal the comfortable living areas will find you lost amongst great African novels. And all Londolozi lodges boast an incredible array of South African wines, which I strongly urge you to taste.

  

Needless to say, the rooms are all positioned in secluded areas throughout the bush and are decadent with a much needed private plunge pool and private sala for just taking in your surroundings and listening to the great African bush.

It goes without saying that the game at Londolozi is world class, especially their host of spectacular leopards found in the Sabi Sands area. The staff at Londolozi provide flawless service and it is very difficult to find a staff member without a smile on their face.  If you want the best Safari experience there is then Londolozi is your place.

Thanks again for a great time and the most memorable Boma to date.
