When I was 25, I spent 15 months in South Africa, in a small town called Harrismith well known to those who drive from Johannesburg to Durban as it is a classic pit stop to refuel. It is then that I first heard about Londolozi when I bought the book "the leopards of Londolozi" and promised myself that 1 day I could fulfill my dream of visiting. It took me exactly 20 years after I had moved back to France and in April 2017, at last, I brought my wife and 9-year son Antoine to what I now consider to be the nicest place on earth: Londolozi. As I couldn't help myself, we came back this year for another 4 days of pure happiness
