Hello Fellow Travelers,
Africa holds a very special place in our hearts, and we are anxious to return to this amazing land of incredible safari adventures, enormously diverse people, and exceptional food & wine experiences. Be prepared to have us awaken all of your senses!
Our deep connection with this magical country began in 2005 on our first trip to South Africa, Cape Town, and the Cape Winelands – it was a life-changing experience! The Admiral Travel team has always provided a safe and professional experience each and every time we have worked together.
We have been fortunate to experience all the major parts of wild Africa, and of all the properties we have visited, there is one place that always brings us back – our home away from home – Londolozi Game Reserve. There is a rare connection between the almost 100 years of history and family behind this property that has the rest of the African properties trying to match. The connection with the wildlife and attention to detail in their special style of hospitality is truly magical.
We look forward to introducing those who will be visiting for the first time and welcoming back our travelers who are returning. As we have heard so many times from our guests, you can trust that your experience will change your perspective on life as it has for us!
Safari dreams!
Michael & Terri

Each chalet at Founders Camp is a masterpiece of design, blending modern amenities with natural elements to create a truly immersive safari experience.

After a long day of exploring the African wilderness, guests can return to the lodge to savor delicious cuisine and enjoy the company of other discerning travelers.
Days on Safari No two days are the same at Londolozi, as every experience is crafted to suit individual preferences and expectations. However, there is a certain rhythm and pace to the day that creates a sense of homecoming for repeat visitors and a pleasant sense of order for first-time bushveld guests.
Wake to the gentle sounds of the African bushveld and embark on a dawn patrol game drive, where you may encounter nocturnal animals such as lions, leopards, and hyenas retiring for the day. After a leisurely breakfast or brunch, join a guided bush walk to explore the wonders of the bushveld on foot. Return to the lodge for a rejuvenating yoga class on the suspended deck, overlooking the Sand River and its resident wildlife.
Savor a traditional afternoon high tea on the terrace, as you watch the day unfold and the bushveld comes to life. Set out on a sunset game drive to witness Africa’s iconic wildlife in their golden hour, and capture the breathtaking beauty of the bushveld as the sun dips below the horizon. Finally, return to the lodge for a delicious dinner under the stars, where you can reflect on the day’s adventures and share stories with fellow travelers.
