Londolozi in the Sabi Sand
Varty / Bateleur Camp
Bateleur Camp (To be named Varty Camp on the 1st of March 2007) is built on the site of the original Sparta hunting camp and pays tribute to the evolution of the Londolozi vision under the guidance of the Varty brothers, who renamed the farm "Londolozi" – the Shangaan word for "protector of living things". The camp fondly recollects its past from the humble beginnings of simple rondawel huts and bucket showers to it coming of age of one of South Africa’s showcase achievements in eco-tourism and a blueprint for a business-like approach to sustainable conservation of the African continent.
The eight chalets and four suites at Bateleur Camp, each with private verandah and plunge pool, display Londolozi’s award-winning style, whilst the original rondawel huts at the heart of the camp now house the Interpretive Centre. This comprises an outstanding wine cellar and tasting room, a retrospective bedroom, library and presentation room where specialists and rangers on personal research projects and the current give talks, fascinating issues facing conservation.
