Kruger National Park Hotel Tips by MikeAtSea

You find Game Lodges in Africa that simply do business - others do it for the passion. Londolozi is situated in the Sabi Sands Reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park. It consists of several lodges that can accommodate a maximum of 12 guests each.
Besides pure luxury you will find excellent game sightings accompanied with the vast knowledge of superb game rangers and trackers.
One important character for me every time I visit Londolozi or one of the sister lodges is the valuable link between nature conservation and development and involvement of local communities.
Game viewing is spectacular here - Londolozi is home to the Big 5 and Leopard sightings are phenomenal!

Unique Qualities: The lodges offer exclusive and luxury chalets blended into the African bush.

The overview is:
Six air-conditioned chalets
Luxurious en suite bathrooms
Indoor and outdoor showers
Private Big Five game viewing deck
Sparkling swimming pool
African craft shop

Safari Lodge offers an unforgettable African safari with the ambience of a family camp and friendly, attentive staff. Each chalet has a private thatched veranda overlooking the riverbed – perfect for viewing game and birds in the surrounding African wilderness.

This is still one of my favourite camps. Lower Sabie graces the banks of the Sabie River, one of the few perennial rivers to flow through the world-renowned Kruger National Park.
