Photographic Safari
The Londolozi photographic safari is where ancient wisdom, modern technology and nature converge. Londolozi has long been recognised as a superb location for wildlife photography, specialising in the big cats. Incredible light, diverse scenery and a plethora of African wildlife set the stage for unsurpassed photographic theatre. The Photographic Studio is very popular with Londolozi guests, who are able to direct and produce their own creative work. With tuition from a qualified ‘Light Room’ instructor, you can spend time between game drives editing and printing your best safari shots.
Need to Rent Equipment?
The Photographic Studio also offers guests the chance to rent a multitude of professional level photographic bodies, lenses and accessories. Gone are the days of lugging heavy camera gear around the world. Now it’s as simple as pre-booking your gear and finding it ready for use upon your arrival at the lodge. First-time photographers can also try out the latest telephoto lens and body setups by requesting the equipment at the lodge. If you want to capture a close-up of a leopard in a tree, a fish eagle in flight or zebras grooming each other, the photographic studio has the right lens to get you the perfect shot.

Londolozi guests are warmly invited to visit our onsite Photographic Studio, where we offer one-on-one post-production tuition and the opportunity to print images on wide-format canvas.

Cuisine and Dining
We consider superb cuisine to be an essential part of the Londolozi experience and it is a vital component of our philosophy. Much of the day revolves around specifically crafted culinary delights: morning morsels on the game drive, fortifying breakfast and lunch, and an indulgent high tea before sundowner treats on the evening game drive and finally, a traditional fireside banquet or a private dinner.
The choice of ingredients reflects our efforts to establish a respectful relationship with the planet. Each ingredient is chosen with care, favouring home grown organic produce, free range game, and herbs from our kitchen garden to create dishes that are irresistibly delicious and healthy. Our selection of seafood is guided by the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative and the number of imported ingredients is kept to a minimum.
Our recipes are a source of great pride; many have been handed down through the Varty family, while others were created in the Londolozi kitchen.
