Built on the site of the Varty family's original 1920s Sparta Hunting Camp, Varty Camp was Londolozi's first photographic safari lodge and has metamorphosed into a contemporary safari marvel. The original 1920s huts are still on show behind the modern grand lounge, which stares out over the Sand River and frames a gorgeous jackalberry tree (the very tree that inspired the site of Sparta).
It's more down to earth than Londolozi's other options, and children over six are welcome (there are interconnecting rooms). Varty's eight chalets and two suites exude luxury and comfort, and guiding at Londolozi is always first class.
