Unique, peaceful and remote, the wild untrammeled wilderness is still the defining experience at Pioneer Camp.

Charming and intimate, Founder’s Camp honors past guests and staff who have contributed to the Londolozi success story. Upgraded and renovated after the floods of February 2012, the camp now boasts 10 superior chalets, all with personal bar, private plunge pool and salas affording magical views of the Sand River and lush riverine bush.

Londolozi Varty Camp

Characterised by a timeless safari ambience, eight standard chalets and two superior chalets all feature private plunge pools and decks with expansive river views. Londolozi’s rich history is preserved and recorded in the original camp built in 1926. In honour of the Varty family who have contributed so much to conservation in South Africa and Londolozi in particular, Varty camp is the heart and soul of Londolozi and celebrates the Varty family’s ongoing love for the wild.

Shaded by a cathedral of trees, the sitting and dining areas offer awe-inspiring views of the Sand River. The camp has a pleasingly down-to-earth atmosphere and children are welcomed.
