There’s no better place to spot the Big Five than at the family-run Londolozi, established in 1926. Set on the Sand River, the private game reserve regularly sees herds of buffalo and elephant, and its white rhino and lion concentrations are among the highest on the continent. While every luxury is offered here (Ralph Lauren design, wellness center, boutique), Londolozi has a strong conservation ethic — Londolozi means ‘protector of all living things’ in Zulu, and the family certainly lives up to the name. They’ve restored river systems and natural drainage lines, and created a microcatchment program to help retain water, making the resort drought-resistant.
