The Detail

Decked out with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, Ulusaba Safari Lodge is all about soft lighting, the sounds of the bush and nearby river, and luxurious accommodation. You’ll love the sense of adventure as you access some of the rooms by swing bridges. Your room will provide fascinating views of the animals as they stroll past on their way to the nearby watering hole.

Three adjoining Safari Rooms are located close to the Main Lodge and offer large viewing decks and en-suite bathrooms with great views.

Three spacious Elephant Rooms boast en-suite bathrooms and large viewing decks with stunning views over the bush. Elephants regularly use a migratory route that passes by these rooms, offering excellent up-close-and-personal game viewing! The location of the three Elephant Rooms is ideal for friends traveling together or families with teens wishing to be close to their parents.

Built treehouse-style and very private, four River Rooms offer unique features, with two rooms having private plunge pools. All are very spacious with comfortable seating areas and striking views of the riverbed or bush. The River Rooms are ideal for those celebrating or enjoying a romantic escape. Secluded and tucked between Jackalberry trees, three of the River Rooms are accessible by a swing bridge and are just a short walk from the main lodge.

The Treehouse Suite is spacious and unique, featuring a private deck with views over Xikwenga Dam, where hippos and elephants frequently bathe. There is also a large viewing deck adjacent to the suite, perfect for dining. The Treehouse Suite offers ultimate seclusion and is ideal for honeymooners. Its location makes it the perfect choice for avid photographers and birders. Accessible by swing bridges and raised walkways, the Treehouse Suite is about a 10-minute walk from the main lodge.

The lodge facilities include a reception area, lounge area, dining area, swimming pool, bush observatory, two tennis courts, gym with a running machine, bike, multifunctional weight station, free weights, spa treatment room, outdoor boma, wine cellar, and gift shop.

Internationally renowned chefs have developed an African-inspired menu that is rich in flavors and spices. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are used in all dishes. Whether dining under the African sky, in the Boma, on a deck, or in the dining room, the menus and meals promise to be exceptional. All breads and pastries are freshly baked daily. The lodge also caters to private meals and special occasions.

Enjoy early morning and late afternoon open-vehicle game drives in this pristine wilderness and unforgettable bush walks that will enlighten your senses. Other optional activities include the scenic Panorama Route, helicopter flights over the bush, and an authentic Shangaan experience with a visit to the local villages surrounding the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, situated on the western border of Kruger National Park, spans 65,000 hectares and provides some of Africa's best game viewing. The reserve shares a 50km-long unfenced border with Kruger, allowing animals to roam freely between the two areas. It consists of a number of private game reserves, each offering exclusive and luxurious experiences in the heart of the African bush. Unlike Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand Reserve is not open to the general public. Staying at one of the lodges here ensures you share this pristine wilderness with only a few other guests.

The reserve boasts a dense concentration of wildlife, including over 330 plant species, 45 fish species, 30 amphibian species, 110 reptile species, 500 bird species, and 145 mammal species. It is home to the Big 5 and is likely the best place in the world to get up close and personal with the elusive leopard.

Ulusaba Safari Lodge is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families looking for a luxurious safari experience.
