Londolozi Tree Camp Sabi Sands
Londolozi
Tree Camp enquiries and reservations: bookkruger@madbookings.com
The most stylish family run camp in Africa with six private suites.
Tree Camp embodies the very essence of Londolozi’s
continuous striving to transcend and redefine the journey to the
wilderness.
This is a place of connoisseurship, leopards, orchids, lanterns
and lead wood trees. Guests spend lazy afternoons
on their decks, champagne in hand as they survey the ancient landscape,
elephants feeding below in the river.
Elegance and simplicity are the hallmarks of the Tree Camp sanctuaries.
In every detail and feature, from the private swimming pools and
contemplation decks (salas) to the Ralph Lauren wallpaper and chocolate
plaited leather beds, this exclusive camp provides a matchless showcase
of African excellence.
Tree Camp does not accommodate children under the age of 16, unless
guests book the camp exclusively.

Going on Safari at Londolozi:
As the original South African Safari destination, Londolozi over its 82-year
history has built up a formidable team of experienced rangers, trackers
and naturalists. This diverse team of experts boasts a combined guiding
experience of over 350 years.
We have drawn on the considerable wisdom, talent and experience of our
guiding teams, and returned to the original spirit of fun and wild adventure
of a Safari to Africa. Our emphasis in 2010 and beyond is to redefine
the essence of the ‘photographic safari experience’ by creating
still greater opportunities for engagement and experience. Furthermore
we aim to continually push the boundaries of fun, adventure, excitement
and fulfillment throughout your safari adventure at Londolozi.
With over 16 000 hectares of traversing wilderness, no two game drives
are ever the same.
Trackers sit up at the front of the Land Rover looking for fresh animal
tracks, while rangers drive with astonishing skill through ravines and
thickets in pursuit of elusive animals. And all the while wowing guests
with their outstanding knowledge and unforgettable stories.
Many of the rangers and trackers at Londolozi grew up living off the land
and therefore have an incredible knowledge of the area and deep cultural
connections to the fauna and flora. In addition Londolozi’s rangers
specialise in photographic safaris and where possible will position the
vehicle for the guest to get the best angle for photographic purposes.
In every excursion and adventure guests are held in the safe hands of
experienced and personable rangers, the conduits through which the lasting
Londolozi memories are delivered.
Londolozi Tree Camp Activities
At Londolozi Private Game Reserve the Varty family
has refined the menu of activities to include a unique blend of senses
and soul, creating an offering of sophisticated style and adventure that
has recaptured the subtle essence of the Swahili word for journey –
safari.
At Londolozi we offer spectacular Big 5 game drives in our extensive wildlife
area with unsurpassed leopard viewing but this is just the beginning of
what really constitutes “the Londolozi experience”.
Londolozi is the ideal space to escape from the rigours of everyday existence,
to shift into a full appreciation of the moment and awaken the senses.
With this in mind we have created tailor-made activities to help recuperate
mind, body and spirit.
Take your pick, the list is virtually endless; silent wilderness emersions,
interpretation and learning, spiritual journeying, adventure adrenalin,
massage, yoga, clay pigeon shooting, all day wilderness trekking, moonlight
walks, poetry, theatre, friendship and wide open spaces.

the wisdom and sustainability of ancient cultures.
DAY TRIPS INTO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES

a wonderful cultural experience.
Food
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast”
– Epictetus (55AD – 135AD)
At Londolozi, superb cuisine is considered an essential part of the experience
and a vital component of our philosophy.
Much of the day revolves around specifically crafted culinary delights
– freshly baked muffins at sunrise, morning morsels on the game
drive, a fortifying breakfast, lunch and indulgent high tea before the
next game drive and its sundowner treats and, the grand finale, a traditional
fireside banquet or a private dinner.
The choice of ingredients reflects our efforts to establish right relations
with the planet.
Every ingredient is chosen with care, favouring home grown organic produce,
free range game and herbs from our kitchen garden to create dishes that
are irresistibly delicious and healthy.
Our selection seafood is guided by the Southern African Sustainable Seafood
Initiative and the number of imported ingredients is kept to a minimum.
Our recipes are a source of great pride as many have been handed down
through the Varty family or were created in the Londolozi kitchen by Executive
Chef Jaco Myberg. Jaco’s signature style, arises from exploring
the continental fusion of Indian, Malay, Dutch, African, Portuguese and
British influences in local South African dishes to create exquisite culinary
experiences.
