I have to tell you it was a life-changing experience. The incredible guides, the stunning location, and the amazing assortment of animals combined to make this a trip of a lifetime.
I cannot recommend Londolozi strong enough – a truly amazing staff, fantastic rooms and great food should put this game preserve at the top of your list.
Honestly, I was astonished every day at how helpful, smart, and cheerful the team at Londolozi were – and I have stayed at extremely high end hotels around the world whose employees could not come close to the quality of these talented people.
Below are a few photos I shot during my stay,
cheers,

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Husband Vincent and I had the sheer luck to join a safari, even if too short lived. Just wanted to thank all – Tom, Mark, Jeremiah (sp?), Kate and all staff for the most wonderful experience with you and the animals at Londolozi. Looking ever so much forward to coming back. All top notch. Our best 2013 wishes and sincerely, Kay and Vincent
Great pictures! What kind of lizard is the one in the picture of the flowers?
Good eyes! I had to go back and look at the picture again after reading your comment.
Hi Matthew and Sandy
It is a very well camouflaged flap-necked chameleon!
Anyone spot the chameleon??
Londolozi is the absolute top game reserve, IMHO. Going back in January 2014….pics from recent trip still not culled but I’m working on the almost 2000 (MANY out of focus.) I get excited when I’m seeing the animals and forget to be careful about focus. Then I remember former ranger, Mike Miller, who admonished a group of us….sometimes just put down the camera and watch. Wise words!
David, I know how you feel – there isn’t a day that goes by that I do not wish I was back in Africa on safari at Londolozi. And I’ve been three times! Thank you for your photos and your heartfelt story.
Best, Jenifer
Great catch of the chameleon!!
Awesome photos!!!
Even better photos than Crooksie takes..
Agree 100% David. Nice pictures. I think that is “Pink Nose”- my favorite leopard – snarling.
David – you’re absolutely spot on with your statements regarding Londolozi. It is truly a fabulous place with amazing sights but the people there who create the wonderful experience.
James – Chameleon is just left of center in flora pic.
