Most of the action takes place in the Londolozi Reserve, which covers an impressive 16,000 hectares of savanna, woodlands, and water sources.
Game drives start out from camp during early morning and late afternoon, with expert guides on hand to ensure you enjoy sightings of plenty of wildlife!
The reserve is home to all Big Five species – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo.
Smaller predators in residence include cheetah, hyenas, jackals, and wild dog, while the herbivore count features giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and oodles of antelopes! Humungous hippo frequent the rivers, especially during green season in the reserve.
If you’re a keen birder, you can have fun looking out for all sorts of specials – Gabar goshawk, half-collared kingfisher, croaking cisticola, and the vibrant emerald cuckoo.
Founders’ safari walks present ample opportunities for birdwatching, as well as taking a close look at Londolozi’s plant life and insect life.
You can also enjoy photographic safaris, village walks, and community visits.
Yoga sessions are held regularly on the camp’s deck.
And children aged 6–16 years will love Varty Camp’s Cubs Den, where they can take part in spoor identification, bug catching, African dance, dung spitting, and much more besides!
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
