The exquisite Dulini Collection has captured the hearts of explorers seeking intimate safaris in Africa. Let SAFARI.COM craft your perfect Dulini experience.

Embark on an unforgettable African journey that evokes wonder and opens your heart to the wild. Across safari landscapes, where larger lodges are vying for titles of grandeur, the Dulini Collection does something far more unique, making an extraordinary impression while remaining small and intimate. 

The name “Dulini” is fitting, translating to “a sanctuary or shelter,” where wild creatures find refuge, and safari lovers come to restore their souls. Comprising three legendary camps in South Africa’s Sabi Sand and now its fourth on the banks of Zambia’s mighty Zambezi, the Dulini Collection offers understated and intimate luxury safari experiences. 

At SAFARI.COM, our team of experts appreciate the rare magic that Dulini possesses as a boutique wilderness sanctuary. We are committed to crafting safaris that are transformative and captivating – it’s about more than booking a room or sharing a view. From our own experiences, we understand how your safari can be life-changing, and we take care to plan every detail of your trip perfectly. 

So, what defines a boutique sanctuary? As a proudly family-run collection, you will feel at home in the wild. A defining philosophy at Dulini is intimacy – each lodge is deliberately small with only four, six, or twelve suites, so that guests can look forward to personalised attention and genuine connections. 

We have fallen in love with Africa on safari time and again, and know what it means to find yourself immersed in its unfiltered beauty. Let SAFARI.COM, voted Africa’s leading safari company two years running, make every moment of your stay meaningful! We’re also offering FREE travel insurance for bookings made before 25 March 2026.

Dulini Moya - Your Peaceful Sanctuary 

Shaded by towering ebony and leadwood trees within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Dulini Moya enchants and disarms guests from the moment they first arrive. This is the collection's original lodge, deeply rooted in classic safari tradition. From conservation and community to breathtaking wildlife and refined luxury, Moya is where the Dulini standard was born.

There are only six thatched suites at Dulini Moya, all set along the quiet Mabrak River and showcasing bush views through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Warm tones and rich textures resonate with the bygone era of safari grandeur, a sentiment that lingers in every detail. A private deck, heated plunge pool, and outdoor shower make your stay wonderfully indulgent, and the safari you will treasure forever.

Of course, the lure of discovering South Africa’s Sabi Sand Reserve is magnetic. Embark on a bush walk with a tracker for a unique perspective. This experience invites quiet reflection and draws your attention to smaller details like animal tracks, bird calls, and medicinal plants. Twice-daily game drives offer front-row seats to the Big Five, thrilling predator sightings, and captivating wildlife movements across the reserve. 

Dulini Moya promises culinary excellence, whether you’re dining in the privacy of your suite, in the dining sala, or at the traditional boma under the stars. Guests can also book a massage during their stay, enjoy the on-site gym, or shop the gift gallery, where all profits go towards community projects which EsiDulini supports.

Dulini Leadwood – Bespoke Exclusivity

Among the most private safari experiences in the Sabi Sand, Dulini Leadwood is a silhouette of elegance in the wild. You can easily disappear from the world here – just four suites ensure exclusivity, and the lodge can be booked out for a small family or group discovering Africa together. 

True to the Dulini Collection as a whole, luxury is woven into the very fabric of Leadwood. Found within the reserve’s vast riverine forest where the Sand and Mabrak Rivers meet, this lodge mirrors the natural elements surrounding it, inviting guests to enter a world that feels as though it exists purely for them. Contemporary interiors complement the vast wilderness surroundings, and indoor-outdoor living feels natural.

Communal living spaces and outdoor decks connect guests, while each stone-walled, thatch-roofed suite features wrap-around picture windows, so the bush becomes part of your living space. Relax in the heated lap pool, enjoy an outdoor shower or a more indulgent bath, dine on the treehouse deck or in the outdoor boma, and receive personalised care from attentive, dedicated staff. Dining is always an occasion, and culinary delights await!

The Sabi Sand Game Reserve is incredibly diverse and shares an unfenced border with the revered Kruger National Park. During game drives, sightings of the Big Five and Africa’s large cats are frequent, while guided bush walks are thrilling and showcase the reserve at eye level. One thing is for sure: you are going to want to take your camera, or rent one on arrival!

Dulini River – Elegant Riverside Luxury

The serenity of the Sand River sets the tone for your Dulini River safari experience. At SAFARI.COM, we have booked stays for guests from each of the Dulini lodges, and the feedback for Dulini River always returns to its incredible setting. Of course, the private Sabi Sand Reserve makes for a spectacular safari experience.

The lodge has six stunning double-volume suites, each with an extended deck and heated plunge pool that make every sunset observation more special. Soft, neutral, and earthy tones create an ambience of calming organic luxury, with statement chandeliers lighting the way. While in your suite or exploring the lodge, keep an eye on the river, which attracts wildlife throughout the year and is on full display. 

A safari at Dulini River is a full, multi-sensory exploration of the bush and its inhabitants. All Dulini game drive vehicles are top of the range, fitted with individual bucket seats and an amenity box with Vortex binoculars and clear eye protection glasses for guests. You can even experience a photographic safari and rent a suitable camera with the right equipment during your stay.

Bush walks and twice-daily game drives build up an appetite – fortunately, there is always something delicious waiting for you. Dulini chefs celebrate heritage and flavour through expertly prepared dishes, while dinners are served with a selection of fine South African wines to pair with. Dine on the deck overlooking the reserve, in the traditional boma, or in the solitude of your own suite.

Dulini Anabezi

Discover the safari wonders of one of Africa’s most exceptional game viewing destinations. Dulini Anabezi places you in Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park, where twelve luxury tented suites overlook the pristine wilderness. Amazing birdlife and a variety of wildlife ensure you are living the safari dream every day, while Dulini’s promise of total luxury exists effortlessly.

Your stay at Anabezi transports you to a luxury tent suite, a sophisticated version of Africa’s popular “camping in the wild” experience. Large canopied beds, spacious living areas, outdoor showers, private decks, and dedicated plunge pools complete each modern suite and complement the surrounding beauty of Zambia’s floodplain and the Kulefu Channel. A larger luxury family tent is also available.

Picture high tea on the Zambezi deck, overlooking elephants, buffalo, and impala as they meander across the floodplain. Enjoy a dip in a pool with views of the Mushika River, while watching the Anabezi Troop of Baboons play nearby. Like any luxury African safari, expect an abundance of activities, from game drives and guided bush walks to canoeing, catch-and-release fishing, and birdwatching with a skilled tracker.

Dulini Anabezi is the most recent addition to the collection and the first to extend the portfolio legacy beyond South Africa. Lower Zambezi National Park offers a rare combination of land and water safaris that attract wildlife enthusiasts from all walks of life. We love it for its uncrowded, intimate atmosphere and authentic safari charm.
