There are few things more soul affecting than seeing the magnificent creatures of South Africa in their natural habitats. A safari here is a once in a lifetime experience. Sir Richard Branson’s Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is set in the heart of the Sabi Sand game reserve on the border of the sprawling Kruger National Park. Here, guests enjoy the privilege of 13,500 hectares of unspoilt, game rich bush in near solitude.

Guests can share their time between the three lodges; one on the summit of a rocky hill looking out over miles of bushy grassland plain and the dramatic Drakensberg Mountain range in the far distance. For a true treat, the Makwela Suites at Rock Lodge will not disappoint. These two huge suites each enjoy a free standing bath, comfortable lounge, spacious deck and private infinity plunge pool, overlooking the majestic African Savannah. Recently built Cliff Lodge is the ultimate family lodge with two of the largest suites in the Sabi Sands. This permanent 290 degree view of some of the most beautiful landscape in the country can be booked individually to, please ask your consultant about this option. Built along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed, Safari Lodge rooms are reached by swing bridges. The tree house style spaces inspire a humbling sense of being at the heart of life in the wilderness, especially when its magnificent creatures stroll past on their way to the nearby watering hole. When not occupied on a walking safari or twice daily game drive, take a dip in one of the two swimming pools or indulge in an in-room massage or beauty treatment (both lodges have a boutique spa and fitness space). After dinner enjoy a spot of star gazing at the bush observatory.

Neither word nor photograph can capture the sense of the pure beauty which is breathed in when opening the carved wooden doors leading into this private recluse – arguably the worlds finest suite. Read more...
