Ulubisi House, an exclusive luxury villa within the Gondwana Game Reserve, offers a private and intimate safari experience, perfect for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
Ulubisi House, a spacious and stylish private villa, is perched amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Gondwana Game Reserve, offering 180-degree views of grassy plains dotted with game, fynbos-covered rolling hills, and the majestic Outeniqua mountain range. This exclusive African villa provides a luxurious experience, complete with a private field guide, chef, and butler to cater to your every need.
The villa features three luxurious suites, each showcasing modern African design that beautifully blends natural materials with contemporary elegance. Expansive windows and decks allow for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, immersing you in the beauty of nature from the comfort of your private retreat.
The 1,000-hectare protected walking area and abundant wildlife not only enhance your stay but also inspire the villa’s name and dining experiences. Ulubisi House, named after the Black Harrier, pays homage to the rarest endemic raptor in the Southern Cape. These elusive birds are often spotted near the villa, adding a special touch to your wildlife experience.
Culinary delights at Ulubisi House are crafted using locally sourced ingredients, particularly those from the surrounding fynbos, offering a true taste of the region’s unique flavors.
Your stay includes the Gondwana Safari experience, which takes you on an unforgettable journey through restored farmland, now teeming with wildlife. Led by your private expert field guide, the game drives offer close encounters with the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and Cape leopard—as well as sightings of hippos, giraffes, and herds of antelope.
Ulubisi House is perfect for friends and families seeking peaceful, quality time together. With private services, including a dedicated game ranger and safari vehicle, your vacation can be tailored to your preferences, ensuring a truly personalized and unforgettable bush getaway.
Your stay includes a private field guide and game-viewing vehicle for game drives and other activities such as bush walks, fishing, mountain biking, and the Junior Ranger program. A personal chef and butler will prepare and serve three daily meals, as well as afternoon tea. All local beverages are included.
