The Estate
Voted Number 1 amongst all the top resorts and safari camps in Africa by Condé Nast Traveler readers, Ulusaba Estate offers three unique luxury properties. Ulusaba Rock Lodge and Cliff Lodge boast some of the best views in the Sabi Sand, perched up high with breath-taking panoramic views for miles; the ideal position for spotting roaming wildlife in a luxurious setting. Safari Lodge is built along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed and a stay here really feels like you are right in the heart of life in the bush.
Safari Lodge
The spectacular Safari Lodge allows you to get close to the action and explore the wonderful wildlife that Sabi Sands has to offer. Rooms all feature a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom, while elephant rooms provide guests with a private deck and river rooms feature a private plunge pool. The treehouse suites provide fascinating views of the animals as they stroll past on their way to the nearby watering hole, so have your camera ready at every moment!
Rock Lodge
Each of the rooms at Rock Lodge has a different design reflecting African tribal influences and style and all are set against a glorious backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountains in the distance. There are ten bedrooms and suites available for up to twenty guests and all rooms include a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom and either a private balcony or terrace, while two of the suites also feature a private pool.
Cliff Lodge
Cliff Lodge can be found within Rock Lodge and is perfect for guests with children who are looking for additional privacy. One of the luxury suites consists of two bedrooms with spacious lounge and kitchen and there is also a mini spa, gym and an outdoor deck with a pool to soak up the glorious views.
Dining
You and your guests will be spoilt for choice on where to dine during your stay at Ulusaba Lodge. All meals can be served in a variety of locations across the estate.

Spotting the Big 5
Ulusaba Lodge is located in the fantastic Sabi Sands, the oldest private game reserve in South Africa. With its elevated position and panoramic views, grab a pair of binoculars to see what animals you can spot. As part of the resort activities, you and your guests can partake in twice daily game viewing with an expert guide. Travel with them in your private game vehicle throughout the bush as you explore rare sightings and take up the challenge of spotting the Big 5 with cameras in hand.
