A great blog from Shaun ‘The Encyclopedia’ D’Araugo. It is so interesting to read about the history of Londolozi and also have the privilege to have met Elmon Mhlogo another Londolozi tracking legend.

It sounds like Winnis was an amazing person and what an incredible life he lived. The Varty family is very fortunate to have known him. Thank you for telling us a little about his life Shaun.

I remember visiting Londolozi in the late very 70’s, driving out with Elmon and Dave, going over to Winnis’s kraal. He had retired already, and there was this great man sitting in front of a fire talking to us.
Thanks for the memory!
