The Varty family has run it since 1926, and in 1993 it became the first game reserve in the world to receive Relais and Châteaux status.

Breeding herds of elephant and buffalo roam through Londolozi, and white rhino and lion concentrations are among the highest recorded in Africa. The leopards are what the reserve is known for, tracked by rangers and trackers who have followed them across generations. [Image: Londolozi Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Reserve, South Africa] Each camp has its own character. Interiors in all of them were styled by Yvonne O'Brien, in what the family calls elegant simplicity. Tree Camp has six suites in the leadwood canopy above the river, with swimming pools and contemplation decks, and does not take children under 16 unless booked exclusively. The Private Granite Suites sit among granite rocks, each with an outdoor bath and a heated private pool, and are booked individually or as a private camp for six guests. Pioneer Camp has three luxury suites under 500-year-old ebony trees, and can become a bush homestead for six to twelve guests. Varty Camp, the oldest, has rooms with their own pools, outdoor showers and dining salas, and takes children over six. Founders Camp has ten superior chalets along the river bank.

A Healing House at Varty Camp offers bodywork and wellness treatments, and guests of every camp can use the guest gym, the photographic studio, the Living Boutique and the Yoga Deck beside Founders Camp.

Guests reach the lodge by private charter to the Londolozi airstrip, or by SA Airlink to Skukuza, about an hour's drive away.
