A Luxury safari holiday is the Absence of Time
The key aspect to enjoying a luxury safari experience, however, is in the absence of time. Life moves at a pace that can leave you feeling like you are always a step behind. At Londolozi we feed your soul, wherever you find yourself is exactly where you should be. There is no rush and in fact it is important to slow down and just feed on the true beauty of your surroundings. How can you truly appreciate luxury spaces if you are rushing through them?
What is true luxury?
Londolozi translates from Zulu to mean ‘protector of all living things’. The abundance of life that inhabits our private reserve is a result of this philosophy. The mother leopard decided to open her life to the guides and guests of Londolozi, and years spent nurturing this relationship has resulted in a dynasty of Leopard (now in their fifth generation). The wild leopards have learned to trust people in the vehicle and we are now privileged to experience incredible up close viewing of the rosette beauty.
True safari luxury is experiencing a female Leopard strolling around with her cub. When you watch them playing, not once in the entire encounter do they rush. She is a beast to be feared but in that moment softens, rolling on her back. Her cub obliges and launches a playful attack from the nearby grass. There is nowhere to be and you become engulfed by this moment. You sit watching her existence and you learn from her.
Londolozi: The Original Luxury Safari Holiday
At Londolozi, we are open to teachings from the wild, handed down over generations, and we let our guests live these incredible secrets. When we open ourselves to the instinct of nature we drop expectations that the material world puts on our shoulders. As pioneers in the South African luxury and private safari experience, Londolozi regards the guest experience above all else. Your adventure is our lifeblood and we’ll stop at nothing to ensure that it is everything you envision.
In this wild space you find the drive for the things you hold most dear, the true nature of being. Over the years Londolozi has fed off the energy of the diverse people in this incredible space. This is what makes your experience so rich, our Londolozi family. In this wild space, we collect as people from all creeds and colours with one collective goal, to craft a breathtaking luxury safari holiday for our guests. We create a space where you and your loved ones feel whole and at the same time allow you to grow into the greater Londolozi family.
These are but a few of the things that define a luxury safari holiday at Londolozi. Perfection is beyond an immaculate room, or a perfectly balanced dish, or a seamless trip because these are only an added benefit. You’ll find it ringing warm, deep in your soul, on a luxury safari holiday as genuine and imperfect as the people you love, achieving pure, genuine happiness for you and your loved ones.
The Finer Details of the Londolozi Experience
Londolozi has five luxury private camps, each offering it’s unique experience. Varty, the original camp, and Founders, which honours guests and staff who contributed to the building of Londolozi, are steeped in history. Both camps offer the perfect family or small group experience.
Relais & Châteaux
The Relais & Châteaux camps makeup Londolozi’s elite group of properties. Londolozi, in 1993, was the first game reserve to don the privilege of Relais status cementing it as one of the world’s top luxury destinations. Pioneer Camp is a perfect exclusive destination for both families and couples. Tree Camp and the Private Granite Suites don’t allow children under the age of 16 unless the camps are booked for exclusive use. Both camps are exclusive romantic destinations and a mark of excellence within Londolozi. The Private Granite Suites are the cream of the crop and Londolozi’s ultimate mark of excellence.
Cuisine
Excellence in cuisine is vital to the Londolozi safari experience. It is an integral cog in the wider Londolozi philosophy, in cuisine we find sophistication in simplicity. Ingredient choices are underpinned by the Londolozi’s food vision, which aims to have a respectful relationship with the earth. Local ingredient sourcing supports local business and blends beautifully with some of the leading industry suppliers from around South Africa.
