Key Takeaways:
- Lolelunga’s private reserve model allows for longer night drives, creating better opportunities to search for nocturnal species such as aardvark, pangolin and civet.
- A minimum three-night stay at each safari lodge gives travellers more time to experience the property properly without feeling rushed between transfers and activities.
- Conservation at Lolelunga is closely tied to surrounding communities through local employment, fresh-water projects, schools, clinics and long-term development.
