Location
In the centre of Londolozi Private Game Reserve burns a fire in the very spot where the Varty forefathers set up their tents 80 years ago. This fire has been lit every night on the same spot for generations and embodies the significance of this camp and the continuity of the Varty custodianship. Varty camp is the heart of Londolozi.
This emphasis on family heritage means that children have always had a place at Londolozi, and this is particularly so at Varty Camp.
Londolozi’s rich history is preserved and recorded in the original camp built in 1926. Four rondavels, which date back to the original Sparta Hunting Camp, are a special feature. Each have been set dressed to reflect a time gone by, this museum is a tribute to the early Bush veld Pioneers, a well-stocked wine cellar and an library (with Internet access) also have a home at Varty camp but it is Varty Camps main deck offering awe-inspiring views of the Sand River that captures the true essence of Africa.
Historical photographs add to the congenial atmosphere of the spacious deck, which incorporates an ancient Ebony Tree.
