Reconnect with family in nature
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy for families to get caught up in routines, technology, and distractions. A Londolozi safari offers the perfect opportunity to escape all of that and reconnect – not only with nature but with each other. There is something profoundly special about the wild spaces here that naturally invites families to slow down and spend quality time together. Imagine the look of awe on your child’s face when they spot their first elephant or hear a lion’s roar echoing through the night. These experiences help bring families closer together. Londolozi’s family-friendly environment is designed to foster those special moments.
Escape the Everyday
The untouched beauty of the reserve offers your family the chance to completely disconnect from daily life and immerse yourselves in the stillness of the wilderness. From the harmonious sounds of birds at dawn to the night-time lullaby of nocturnal birds, the bushveld has a way of grounding you in the present moment. There’s no better place to reignite a sense of wonder and curiosity than in the African wilderness.

Coming to Londolozi, on more than one occasion has left me with some amazing memories. The experience of being part of such a wonderful community, was an exceptional journey. I am glad though, that I did these trips, in the early days of Londolozi. When, everything was still being developed. And, before, it became a Luxery Resort. I loved the interaction with the Rangers. The Varty family, and the staff, in general. Searching, and finding leopards, sometimes, at a moments notice, was an incredible experience. It made me truly enjoy, the feeling of, being part of the Londolozi environment. I learned a lot, of the philosophy, behind Londolozi, through campfire conversations, and over riverside Breakfasts. It made me truly appreciate nature at its best. Over the years. I’ve been following the growth and development of the reserve, with interest and admiration. Unfortunately. With the resort becoming Luxery. It is not really possible to visit anymore. But. Through your virtual safaris. I’m keeping up to date, and having my own virtual experiences. Maybe. One day. I’ll have the opportunity, to see the up to date resort for another, special experience.
