Getting Festive at Londolozi Private Game Reserve

Everyone has their own personal aesthetic, be it grunge, indie or goblincore – and for those who want to reach for their phones to google what that last one is, we'll save you the effort: it's a celebration of nature's less beautiful elements, such as soil inspired by the folklore surrounding goblins... But we're getting off-topic here. No matter your personal style, Londolozi is the place to be this festive season – or any season, really! So, if you're looking to get extra jolly on safari, look no further than our top spots to stay at Londolozi Private Game Reserve, located just west of the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
