Following the unqualified success of the Tree Camp & Granite Suites – Londolozi completed the newly renovated Pioneer Camp in 2010.
Londolozi Pioneer Camp is the most secluded of Londolozi’s Luxury camps. The three private suites have superb river views and are perfect for honeymoons and private getaways. Focused on multi-generational family travel, this adaptable camp can also be converted into a private bush home for family groups of 6 – 14 people through linking glass sky walkways into interconnected family units. The spacious entrance-halls at Londolozi Pioneer Camp, are decorated with a Ralph Lauren feel. Clean lines, modern and sophisticated with floor to ceiling glass sliding panels which frame the wilderness views beyond.
The bathrooms at Londolozi Pioneer Camp are classic Victorian with modern accents in the marble, chrome and mahogany finishes. Throughout the camp there is a pervading sense of history thanks to faithfully restored memorabilia of photographs, old suitcases, silver, crystal glass and gramophones. Everything about Londolozi Pioneer Camp is deeply personal and provides a romantic backdrop to the adventures of a new generation of sophisticated travellers and of course, all guests can access the facilities of the other Londolozi lodges, all located within a few minutes’ walk of each other.
