How fortunate for Londolozi that you, Rich, can tell its story in the most beautiful ways. You (and all the Londolozi family) make my heart ache for a return. One of these days . . .

How beautiful. The voice, the imagery is representative of what it feels like to visit Londolozi. Spiritual awakening is what I have experienced each time I visit and the reason I must return. Words can’t describe it but your video comes pretty close

This video is so amazing, it really strikes a cord with me. For me, it embodies everything of what I imagine Londolozi to be, a place of unity, harmony, untamed beauty and wild encounters. The harmony with nature and the understanding of oneself and how we are all connected is I think the primary reason I am so fascinated by Londolozi and why I am dying to go there (it even beats my drive to be among leopards and to photograph). I feel that if I get there, I will understand who I am more and revitalise that connection to the bush that I feel like I lose in the city. Every day, I feel like the lowveld is calling out to me and I want to heed the call, but I know it will take time.

I get goosebumps every time I watch it. I think maybe the fact that our ancestors came from the bush is one reason why I feel such a strong connection to it (despite the fact that I have more fingers than bush trips that I’ve been on), I have that desire to reawaken that connection to the land and the wildlife and myself.
