Reel Gardening

April 29, 2010

Part of our big drive towards sustainability throughout Londolozi has been the development of a nursery and vegetable gardens in the Londolozi village. These hotspots are the foundations of a greater goal to decrease our carbon footprint whilst increasing the sustainability of organic foods and local champions’ income. The vegetables grown by the individuals at Londolozi are bought by the kitchen to ensure that fresh, organic produce is always being served to our guests.

Learning Through Playing

April 19, 2010

The Dudley Riverbank female leopard had opened her sleepy eye at the commotion below. Monkeys who had been incessantly racketing were now screaming in a frantic frenzy of fear and anger. A member of the troop had been tackled off a log into the thick scrub and now lay in the clutches of its pursuer, fighting an impending fate.

What Children Do at Easter

April 1, 2010

The Londolozi Easter holiday program for staff’s children is rocking and rolling. 25 little bunnies arrive bright eyed and bushy tailed at 9 every morning (most are waiting patiently long before the teachers arrives) with great anticipation for their day’s schedule.
