The Whole Story
Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is Sir Richard Branson's safari lodge located in the Western sector of the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve in South Africa. Guests can book individual rooms or exclusively hire either one lodge or both, ideal for weddings and celebrations.
Ulusaba, meaning 'Place of Little Fear' strikes the perfect balance between nature and nurture, as well as being an excellent place to observe the 'Big Five', it is also an ideal place to kick back and unwind. Ulusaba re-defines the rules of a safari lodge, offering swimming pools, gymnasiums, a wine cellar, Aroma Boma spas with panoramic views and tennis courts. With all of these facilities, you really need to plan your days so you can enjoy safari walks, moon-lit bush dinners and of course, the twice daily game drives.
Guests can share their time between the two lodges - Rock Lodge and Safari Lodge which offer two unique experiences to your holiday as many guests choose to split their time between the two. Rock Lodge is perched high on the summit of a koppie and provides panoramic views over miles of bush, the wildlife roaming within and the beauty of the lowveld below.
Safari Lodge is built in the heart of the bush along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed, where guests will love the sense of adventure as they cross the swing bridges between exquisite tree house rooms.
Children of any age are welcome at the Rock Lodge but must be 12 or above to stay at Safari Lodge. Younger pride members of the family can visit the Cub’s Club, which runs a fun daily programme of activities aiming to both entertain and educate cubs about their surroundings.
The Rooms
Ulusaba Rock Lodge has 4 rooms and 4 suites which are individually designed some reminiscent of African Tribes. In addition the 2 Cliff Lodge Suites offer villa style accommodation where modern twists blend perfectly with traditional African themes.
Safari Lodge has 10 rooms as well as a Treehouse Suite overlooking Xikwenga Dam. The rooms are created and inspired by local and natural materials with polished wooden floors – designed to feel like your own private tree house in the Bush.
