Varty Camp is the heart and home of Londolozi, the crucible from which the campfire has burned for over four generations and eighty five years. Fusing family, tradition and specialist photographic safaris, the newly refurbished Varty Camp offers one of the best value for money safari experiences in South Africa.
At the end of a four year refurbishment campaign, the Grand Lady of Londolozi has had the final jewel placed back into her crown. With new salas, plunge pools and softs, Varty Camp has truly been turned into a family bush home where both adults and children are welcome.
Varty Camp Deck
This camp is all about tradition, laughter and storytelling. From sipping an ice-cold Pimms on the Varty deck, gazing out into 18 000 hectares of exclusive traversing to sitting around a boma campfire and listening to stories of the past, Varty Camp has a tangible feeling of soul, place and a sense of essence.
Varty Camp Lounge
Open since the beginning of March 2011, Varty Camp invites you to become one of the first individuals to stay in the beautiful new rooms and experience first hand the magic of where Londolozi first began.

Varty (then Bateleur) Camp was my introduction to the wilderness of Southern Africa, the beginning of a love affair with the bush which led me from being an annual guest at Londolozi to founding bespoke tour operator Timeless Africa and introducing my own guests to Southern Africa. Returning to Londolozi still brings a special thrill to my heart, and there are few things I love more than sharing this very special place with my clients. Look forward to seeing the new Varty Camp in the near future!
Julian, many thanks for the comments – We are also looking forward to welcoming you and your clients to stay here and experience it firsthand.
Looks fantastic, it has made my Friday afternoon a whole lot better!
Cannot wait to come back.
