Londolozi, located in the heart of South Africa's world-renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, traces its origins to 1926, when the Varty family were the first to arrive in the area. In a bold and progressive move for the 1920s, they encouraged neighboring landowners to pool their properties to protect wildlife - laying the foundation for what would later become the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
From these pioneering beginnings emerged not only one of the most acclaimed nature reserves in the world, but also the basis for South Africa's modern safari industry. Londolozi is known as a "protector of all living things.
