## Our read

Londolozi is a reserve with a river, a translation of its name, and a reservations desk, not a hotel that happens to be near a park.

## Come here for

- A private Sabi Sand safari
- Travellers who want the reserve, not a Kruger rest camp

## Skip it if

- You want a city hotel in Johannesburg
- You want to self-drive a national park

## The place

Londolozi is a private game reserve on the banks of the Sand River, in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, within Greater Kruger. They say the name is Zulu and means protector of all living things. They mark 1926 to 2026 as a hundred years, and they say that in 1993 Londolozi was the first game reserve in the world given Relais & Chateaux status. They write about leopard sightings as a known part of a stay, granite suites where elephants may pass, and a picnic in the trees above the Sand River. Camps are on the reserve. This page does not invent a camp count. The film linked here is theirs, titled We Are All Connected, published on their own site. Email reservations@londolozi.co.za. Book on londolozi.com. Rates are on their site.
