About the Lodge
Sabi Sands Game Reserve, regarded by many as the "birthplace" of sustainable wilderness tourism and development in Sub-Saharan Africa, is understood by guests and staff to be a place of wilderness, wildlife and adventure. Home to an extensive cross-section of the Mpumalanga wildlife population, including the
Big Five and various endangered species, the park also shares 50 kilometers of its unfenced boundary line with neighbouring
Kruger National Park. Animals pass casually between the two parks, unhindered and abundant.
Londolozi Game Reserve, a sub-section to the greater Sabi Sand Game Reserve, is geared towards luxury and exclusivity. Spanning an area of 14 000 hectares, along the western border of the Kruger National Park, and created by brothers and wildlife conservationists Dave and John Varty, Londolozi has also become known internationally as a place dedicated to the principals of eco tourism.
Owing its name to the Zulu term for "protector of all things", Londolozi endeavours to incorporate this ethic into all their operations and projects. Considered a "predator's paradise", the area is made famous by its impressive leopard population, as well as a host of other wild animals and grand flora.
Deep in the shade of a cluster of Londolozi's beautiful, 500 year old Ebony trees, Pioneer camp makes its home in the shade and seclusion of this wonderful reserve. A luxury camp with superb views of the local rivers, guests experience new levels of beauty and service at Pioneer camp.
