It’s always wonderful to experience the African wilderness. However, the STAR takes that experience and turns it into an all-out embrace of your own inner nature. Every waking moment of the STAR hasbeen carefully designed to help you connect with your essential self and rediscover the joy you were born to experience.

Aside from a coaching intensive like no other, the centerpiece of the STAR experience is Londolozi itself. The managers of Londolozi set out to “restore Eden” (the very word Londolozi means “protector of all living things”). The spirit and feeling of this location are completely indescribable – that’s why we’re inviting you halfway around the world to experience it for yourself.

You will not only receive personal attention from Martha during the coaching sessions, you will also share meals and general festivities that are included on the itinerary.

We can accommodate any level of physical fitness. You’ll have an opportunity to do activities (such as yoga) at whatever level of intensity feels comfortable to you.

A practice will be custom-designed specifically for you during the coaching sessions. This will help you sustain the positive experience of the STAR through a simple, pleasurable sustained activity.

You’ll be asked to have a staff member accompany you if you want to leave the camp (for example, to jog) or walk around when it is dark.

We recommend that you arrive in Johannesburg one to two days ahead of time to recuperate from jet lag. The Londolozi staff will book your flight from Johannesburg to Londolozi and back, and it is covered as part of your STAR cost.  

Yes, if space is available. You will be responsible for any charges outside of the STAR dates. If you wish to extend your stay at Londolozi beyond the end of the STAR, you may contact Emma Goodman at [email protected] to check availability and rates.

If you registered for double occupancy, you will be assigned a roommate. The suites you’ll occupy are very spacious, and many people come on their own.

With the exception of airfare from your hometown, hotel in Johannesburg, gratuities for the staff at Londolozi, and any incidental purchases, all expenses (including accommodations, flight to and from Johannesburg to Londolozi, meals, activities, and game drives) are included.

Please note that only STAR participants are allowed on the African STAR, and to stay in the rooms, even in the single rooms. This is because all of the game drives, meals and resources of Tree Camp are part of the STAR while it’s in session, so it’s not possible to offer your non-participating companion the services they require.

Since May and June are late autumn/early winter in South Africa, it will be warm when the sun is out and may be quite cold (and we aren’t kidding!) when the sun sets. The atmosphere at Londolozi is very casual and dinner is outside so dressing for dinner means layering up. Here are some things to include when you pack: long and short sleeve tees, sweaters or sweatshirts, comfortable pants and shorts/skirts, walking shoes and/or hiking boots or suitable trainers, sun hat and sunglasses, sunscreen, windbreaker, warm fleece, down or bush jacket, gloves, and hat.

Londolozi is technically located in a malaria area, though the disease is not at all common there. You should talk to your doctor or travel health clinic about ways to prevent malaria (e.g. taking anti-malaria pills).

There have been no cases of Ebola in South Africa.

Unfortunately, we do not offer scholarships or discounts for the STAR. All costs related to the STAR are fixed, and of course, all profits go to the Good Work Foundation which is helping to bring digital literacy to rural Africa.
