LONDOLOZI VARTY CAMP MAKALALI PRIVATE GAME LODGE Known for its prolific wildlife, Londolozi can be found in the very heart of the Sabi Sand Reserve. It is comprised of four exclusive camps - with Varty Camp being its symbolic heart and soul. The décor echoes the warmth and hospitality of the Varty family's own home and their continuing love affair with the earth and sustainability. Each of the camp's eight luxurious air-conditioned chalets and two gracious suites feature private pools framed by wooden decks, overlooking the Sand River - allowing uninterrupted views of the surrounding bush. To widen the guest experience, this child-friendly camp also features the Life Wellness Centre and Jon Varty Cinematography Centre. Makalali (meaning "place of rest") offers a truly unique bush experience. Located on the banks of the Makhutsi River, it is composed of four camps, each with six luxury suites: Tandane, Mkhiwa, Emtomeni and Phiva. Each individually decorated suite features an en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower, fireplace and a raised, private, timber viewing deck set amongst the Jackalberry trees. Dining is a culinary adventure, combining regional African cuisine with other cooking styles, and can be enjoyed in legendary "boma" style, under the stars. This child-friendly lodge also offers a two-day Mini-Rangers course for children 6-15 years old. MAKWETI SAFARI LODGE, WATERBERG 10 MALA MALA MAIN CAMP If you dream of waking at first light in your own safari lodge then Makweti is for you! Located in the malaria-free Waterberg area, the camp is unfenced, therefore expect the unexpected! Intimate and luxurious, Makweti has five stone and thatch suites each providing indoor and outdoor showers, Victorian bathtubs, fireplaces and private decks. Evenings may bring elephant, lion, rhino and other game right to your doorstep at the waterhole, and twice-daily game drives in this Big Five area are conducted in open safari vehicles with expert guides. This Chaine des Rotisseurs member also offers fine dining, an extensive wine collection, swimming pool and guided walking safaris. Every aspect of the Main Camp is designed to appreciate and enjoy the view of the surrounding wilds. Pathways wind their way along the perimeter of the camp to reveal individual ochre colored units tucked into the greenery which flanks the Sand River. Massive trees and rolling green lawns are filled with birdsong, with the occasional antelope or elephant which seeks the succulence of greenery. The camp is an unfenced oasis in the middle of the bushveld, which allows for a unique game viewing experience. Safari Lodges
