Highlights
Pioneer Camp stands as the epitome of seclusion among Londolozi’s exclusive camps. Its three private suites offer sweeping river vistas, creating an idyllic haven for couples seeking a romantic escape.
Furthermore, this versatile camp effortlessly transforms into a “private bush home” capable of accommodating a sizable extended family or group, comprising up to six adults and six children. Two of the three rooms can be adjoined, offering adaptability for varying family sizes.
Game drives at Londolozi are taken by professional, passionate and knowledgeable rangers and trackers, who amongst them have a wealth of 350 years of experience. With over 15 000 hectares of traversing wilderness, no two 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 into ravines and through thicket in pursuit of elusive animals, simultaneously wowing guests with their outstanding knowledge and unforgettable stories.
Many of the rangers and trackers at Londolozi grew up living off the land in these parts and therefore have an unmatched knowledge of both the area and the elements of nature within this wilderness wonderland. Londolozi boasts two of South Africa’s only 17 master trackers, which only adds to the excellence of the team and the experience they are able to deliver.
