WELCOME TO

Ulusaba Private Game Reserve

GREATER KRUGER - SABI SAND

Overview
 

Owned by Sir Richard Branson, Ulusaba comprises three luxury lodges in the Sabi Sand Reserve, an area of exceptional wildlife adjacent to Kruger National Park.
 

Rooms

Ulusaba’s lodges offer very different styles and locations. All are beautifully decorated in a fresh, modern African style and have air-conditioning, ceiling fans and a fully-stocked complimentary mini-bar.
 

  • Safari Lodge – nestled under trees on a dry river bed, the lodge has eight rooms and two suites. Elephant and River Rooms are built in treehouse-style above the bush. Some of the rooms are linked by swing bridges and two of the River Rooms and the Safari Suite have private plunge pools. All rooms have a viewing deck, a perfect spot to observe the passing wildlife.
  • Rock Lodge – built on a hilltop 800 feet above the bush, the eight rooms and suites have incredible views. The Master Suite and the Makwela Suites have private plunge pools. Several rooms are split level, and all have a balcony or terrace.
  • Cliff Lodge – two exclusive suites located just a short walk from Rock Lodge. Suite 1 is a two-bedroom suite with private swimming pool, indoor and outdoor showers and a mini spa and gym; suite 2 is a huge open space with a private plunge pool on the terrace.

Facilities

Both Rock Lodge and Safari Lodge operate independently and have plenty of communal areas for relaxing and dining, a pool, a fully equipped gym and Aroma Boma Spa. There are also two tennis courts.

Cliff Lodge can be used as an extension of Rock Lodge or booked exclusively – when booked exclusively, it comes with a complement of staff.

Meals can be enjoyed in a variety of locations, from the lodge to a traditional South African braai in the bush. Private dining can also be arranged. Both lodges have an enviable wine cellar, wine tastings are highly recommended.

Our thoughts

" The Treehouse Suite at Safari Lodge overlooks a dam where hippos and elephants come to drink and bathe. Split over three levels, the Master Suite at Rock Lodge is particularly popular with honeymooners. If you can’t decide between the bush location or up on the hill, why not split your stay between the two? "

Trust stars

"The best trip we have ever had and we have had some wonderful holidays. Africa is a very special place - we will definitely be returning to South Africa."

Mr S via The Travel Shop

Trust stars

"We felt thoroughly spoiled and privileged to have had such a wonderful family holiday - we really enjoyed the whole experience. The boys loved the hike up Table Mountain, and cable car back down. We definitely benefited from a good exchange rate, so eating out as a family wasn’t a painful experience! The only thing I would have done differently is pack a few warmer layers for safari – always forget how cold Africa can be in the bush!"

Family G via Travel Counsellors

Trust stars

"We had an amazing honeymoon, thank you for making it such a memorable time for us. Who wouldn’t want to sit on their own private balcony watching pods of whales not to mention the safari - absolutely magical!"

Honeymooners K & T via Holidaze

Trust stars

"Our wedding exceeded all expectations. The wedding was superb and all staff went above and beyond to make the day special."

Mr & Mrs B via Murray Travel

Trust stars

"African Pride throughout have been professional and patient with the group's changing needs. I couldn’t recommend African Pride highly enough. It was a holiday that we all now hold as one of the best we have ever had!! Thank you."

Mr B

Trust stars

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"
