Breeding herds of elephant and buffalo roam throughout Londolozi, while white rhino and lion concentrations are among the highest recorded on the African continent. The true stars are the leopards of Londolozi that made the reserve famous and you will experience some of the most intimate and frequent sightings found nowhere else.
