Londolozi Game Reserve, Sabi Sand, South Africa
Londolozi. The very name conjures up images of becoming enamoured by the majestic reality of witnessing copious leopard sightings. Since I can remember, and became aware of the existence of Londolozi somewhere in the late 1980?s, it has been my deepest desire to visit the place where leopards take centre stage. When the opportunity presented itself to visit the place of my reveries, I was met with the quandary of who would accompany me on this journey to the habitation where rosetted creatures reign.

The decision was simplified by the fact that my daughter sees herself as a leopard aficionado and at 11 years old, she would revel in a trip to a place of such beauty and the possibility of feasting eyes on her (and my) favorite mammal.
Our trip starts at Cape Town International Airport where our Airlink Avro RJ85 flight takes us directly to Nelspruit International Airport, which saves the precious time you might have with the flight being a mere 2 hours and 35 minutes. At Nelspruit International Airport, we are welcomed by an Airlink representative, who takes us to the Transfer lounge area before our onward journey with Airlink?s Lodge Link service to the Londolozi Airstrip in Airlink?s Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, another ingenious way Airlink has designed to make air travel so much simpler to connect you from the city to the doorstep of your safari destination; it is hassle-free.
