Ulusaba – Safari Lodge

Overview

Ulusaba Game Reserve – safari home of world famous Sir Richard Branson, as well as home to an extensive and exciting collection of birds, mammals, reptiles, and African flora of the type only found in this vegetation-rich area.

Decked out with world class equipment and facilities, guests have a lodge of the highest quality at their disposal. Get back from an exciting drive out in the dusty air adjacent to the Kruger National Park and enjoy being pampered at one of the reserve’s fabulous health spas, or bound around a tennis court in the sepia glow of the setting sun.

Tucked softly in under a canopy of looming indigenous trees, Safari Lodge is all about leaf-tinted lighting, the soft trickle of the nearby river, and gorgeous accommodation with a range of facilities. Romantically offset with a wooden walkway, and with a great view of the Xikwenga Dam, Safari Lodge is a softly lit, beautiful venue.
