PIONEER CAMP
The story of adventurers in a bygone era
Six Private Cottages
Pioneer Camp is steeped in the early history of Londolozi.
It was here that over eighty years ago the Varty and Taylor ancestors arrived after three days of hard travel by rail, wagon and on foot, and pitched their tents in the falling light.
They awoke in an illuminated landscape of breathtaking beauty. Unique, peaceful and remote, this wild untrammelled wilderness is still the defining experience at Pioneer Camp.
A 500-year-old Riverine forest throws dappled light on the six exclusive cottages and provides a dramatic backdrop for the camp’s celebration of the past.
The Old English indulgence reflects our heritage with an African twist. The influences are evident in the elegant cream interiors, silver teapots and Portmeirion crockery.
Guest cottages are themed with historic memorabilia, telling a story of a bygone era and furnishing an environment of leisurely indulgence.
