  Specialised Photographic Safari

Londolozi Game Reserve is known internationally as one of the top destinations for great Afican photographic safaris, and in 2009 a specialized photographic safari program was conceived along with a specialized photographic safari vehicle. The modified Land Rover is now equipped with adjustable seats with 180 degree rotation for up to 4 guests. Each guest is given their own personal equipment including still and video cameras, night visions goggles, scorpion torches, e-reference books to act as wildlife field guides, star lazer pointers to aid understanding of the night skies, and “sound safari” equipment for amplified bush sounds.

Guests are taken on this fantastic safari by only the most skilled and experienced guides and trackers who will ensure the best sightings for the best photographic opportunities. Specialised photographic safaris can be booked in advance with rates available on request.

Star Retreat

The Africa Self-Transformation Adventure Retreat (STAR) is about reconnecting with nature and healing the divide within oneself caused by modern life, and extending that healing into the surrounding world. Luxury accommodation and safari experience at Londolozi is combined with intensive introspective journeys and personal coaching sessions. Amazing encounters with the African landscape and wildlife will encourage individuals to obtain a clearer life purpose in tune with the earth, animals and plants of your modern habitat. After gaining so much from our surroundings, the hope is that individuals will begin to understand the needs of the environment as well as the intricate bond each person has with their surroundings.
