Londolozi

Pioneer Camp

Sabi Sands Reserve, South Africa

South African seclusion

The root of the word Londolozi is the Zulu word for protect and means “protector of all living things” – an ambitious conservation ethic that Londolozi embraces in its sensitivity to the natural world. The reserve is internationally recognised for its far-sighted and progressive management of land and wildlife rehabilitation as well as productive community involvement.

World renowned as one of Africa’s finest game lodges, Londolozi was the first game reserve in the world to be accorded Relais & Châteaux status, reinforcing its commitment to luxurious accommodation, fine cuisine and exceptional service. This combined with its setting on the Sabi River in the private Sabi Sands Game Reserve makes for a safari experience that is exclusive, luxurious and like no other. Within the reserve there are five stunning camps one can enjoy.

Pioneer Camp is set amongst the dappled shade of 500 year old ebony trees, with three luxury suites and generous communal area, all the culmination of four decades of design experience in the safari industry. It is the most secluded of Londolozi’s Luxury camps. The three private suites have superb river views and are perfect for honeymoons and private getaways.

This adaptable camp can also be converted into a private bush home for family groups of 6 – 14 people through linking glass sky walkways into interconnected family units. Clean lines, modern and sophisticated with floor to ceiling glass sliding panels which frame the wilderness views beyond. Throughout the camp there is a pervading sense of history thanks to faithfully restored memorabilia of photographs, old suitcases, silver, crystal glass and gramophones.

Everything about Pioneer Camp is deeply personal and provides a romantic backdrop to the adventures of a new generation of sophisticated travellers.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
