Londolozi has relaunched of one of its Relais & Chateaux Camps – Pioneer Camp.
The original feeling of the African Safari camp was re-engineered and restored by interior design team headed up by Shan Varty, Yvonne O’Brien and Duncan MacLarty, with the inspiration behind the refreshed look incorporating the Ralph Lauren style into the original safari homestead.
Restored memorabilia, photographs, leather and a bespoke one-of-a-kind wallpaper lining the Pioneer Camp bar tells a story of the lives of safari pioneers from almost a century ago.
The indigenous gardens are filled with impala lilies, aloes, plumbago and wild figs, which attract butterflies, sunbirds and the Paradise flycatcher, for avid bird watchers.
The private suites have retained their contemporary, luxurious feel, but have been refreshed, and include an upgraded ‘explorer lounge’, interactive kitchen, lookout deck, breakfast balcony and full-length lap pool. The suites have river views, and are perfect for honeymoons and private getaways; and the camp can easily be converted into a bush homestead for private multi-generational family groups of between six and 12.
