I’ll be heading to Londolozi in mid-August for 3 nights, followed by 4 nights at Tswalu.
For anyone who has been to either property, I’d love insight into their spa programs. What treatments did you do and would recommend? Did you book in advance or once you arrived? Also, is it best to schedule treatments mid-day between game drives, or at another time?
Any other “extras” you’d recommend booking while there?
Separately, for those who have done a South Africa safari in August, I’d really appreciate packing advice. It sounds like early morning and evening game drives can be quite cold (35–50°F), while daytime warms up nicely (70–80°F). I’ve also heard Tswalu tends to be even cooler than Londolozi.
I know layering is key and I’ll definitely bring a warm jacket, but with limited luggage space and weight restrictions, I want to be strategic. I’ll plan to wear my bulkiest items on the plane, but beyond the basics-are there any less obvious items you found especially useful (for example, something like an electric hand warmer?)
