Londolozi
Private Game Reserve is an unashamedly exclusive and luxurious
safari destination covering 14 000 hectares (34 580 acres) in the heart
of the game-rich 56 000 hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Londolozi is a
Zulu word meaning "protector of all living things" - an
ambitious conservation ethic that Londolozi embraces in its sensitivity
to the natural world.
"During my long walk to freedom, I had the rare privilege to visit
Londolozi. There I saw people of all races living in harmony amidst the
beauty that mother nature offers. Londolozi represents a model of the
dream I cherish for the future of nature preservation in our
country." - Nelson Mandela
