Londolozi: A Legacy of Conservation and Luxury
Weaving's ConciergeNestled in the heart of South Africa’s Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Londolozi has a rich history that dates back to 1926. Founded by the Varty family, this extraordinary location began as a bankrupt cattle farm and evolved through ambitious land restoration efforts. Their vision not only transformed the land but also laid the groundwork for the modern safari industry, promoting wildlife protection and community development.
Over the years, Londolozi has gained fame for its high-density leopard sightings and eco-conscious practices. Recognized as a 'protector of all living things,' it has established five distinct Relais & Châteaux camps that offer visitors an unparalleled connection to nature. Each stay at Londolozi is much more than just a safari; it is an invitation to participate in conservation efforts and embrace the philosophy of “Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife, and Care of the People.”
As a testament to its legacy, Londolozi marks its 100-year anniversary with the publication of Londolozi: The Safari That Changed Everything. Written by Hailey Wist, this book chronicles the evolution of the reserve through the Varty family’s five generations. It delves into how Londolozi reshaped wilderness travel and established a new paradigm for ecotourism.


The book also highlights the reserve's commitment to healing and wellness in the wild, showcasing how nature serves as a powerful teacher. Through storytelling and intentional hospitality, Londolozi creates transformative experiences that redefine luxury in the wild.
