I'm working on a trip to South Africa right now and had thought about staying at Londolozi. Reading this review, I have to say I'm guilty of being intrigued by the enticing and sexy ad campaigns that the camp uses. It really sounds like they had a very different experience from some of the people on this board... Maybe Londolozi is a dud after all?

Has anyone had any experience with A Rare World? I'd love to find a new source for this sort of thing. I just find Andrew Harper to be such a drone and Galavanters to be so one-sided. Something about this stuff just sounds a little refreshing to the point I'm intrigued. Is anyone on here a subscriber? I am thinking of biting the bullet and paying the $199 but would love to hear about others' experiences with it...

An interesting take on Londolozi.
Personally I would trust Gallivanters Guide above Harpers and rareworld.com.
