Varty Camp











Overview
The heart and soul of Londolozi
Varty Camp is Londolozi’s original camp, built on the site of where the Varty forefathers set up their tents almost a century ago. Here, the commitment to preserving the land and providing a pristine sanctuary for wildlife is a prominent feature in the atmosphere. This, together with the camp’s refined style and passion for creating extraordinary safari experiences for guests sets Varty Camp in a league of its own.
Situated within the Sabi Sands Game Reserve – world-famous for its epic leopard sightings – Londolozi is a family-run reserve and the original pioneer of ecotourism. Varty Camp enjoys a stunning location under a platform of trees from an ancient riverine forest. The central living area overlooks the beautiful Sand River with the living spaces connected by raised wooden platforms. Guests can enjoy Big Five day and night game drives, guided walking safaris, star-gazing, bird watching, and more in this wildlife-rich park.
Londolozi Varty Camp is one of five luxury lodges in the reserve with exquisitely designed chalets and suites each with its own private plunge pool, outdoor shower, outdoor dining sala, and deck to watch the passing wildlife. If you’re looking for a truly timeless safari experience, look no further.

Travelers say
south africa safari
"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless. I wouldn’t plan another trip to Africa without them."

"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."
