Advantages of Londolozi being a private game reserve
For the animals it is not private, so they can wander between the Kruger National Park and Londolozi as they please, giving them the space they need. However, the fact that Londolozi is a private game reserve to people means that:
-
you can wander offroad in the game drives and get really close to the wildlife
-
it doesn't get too crowded, often you will see no other people. There are limits on the number of vehicles at animal sightings.
Relais & Chateaux
Londolozi game reserve is a member of the Relais & Chateaux group, a global grouping of individually owned restaurants & hotels (including those on game reserves, like Londolozi). Relais & Chateaux are known for having very strict admission criteria.

Charter flight to Londolozi
In Oct 2006, "Bellschrum" caught a charter flight to Londolozi private game reserve's airstrip (in a Nelair plane). On the game drives she was especially pleased to see lion cubs, a lion which had lost its tail in a clash with hyena, a leopard snoozing in a tree, hippo (which apparently kill more people in Africa than any other animal) and rhino.
