We went on a 2 day safari trip and had an exceptional experience. Ulusaba is one of the most beautiful resorts in the world. The staff is top notch. Our ranger Trevor and our guide Sam were amazing. They gave us an incredible experience out on safari. We saw all of the Big 5 game multiple times and so much... More

We arrived at Safari Lodge with great excitement as it was our first safari and I have to say that we were just blown away with the four nights we spent there. From the minute we arrived with champagne on arrival, meeting Kim and the team through to our Game Drives was fantastic. There was nothing that was too much... More

Disappointed. A little too laid back. Kind of like hanging with the college party gang for a lot of money. Staff was friendly and helpful. No problem there. Rock lodge more upscale. Recently upgraded. Internet spotty at best. Good game viewing.

Me and my wife arrived at Ulusaba Rock Lodge in Sabi Sands with high expections. Sir Richard Branson has been an idol of ours and the chance of visiting Ulusaba for 2 days was too good an opportunity to miss. After being dropped off at the Ulusaba airstrip by our Thompsons driver (Tom) we we're greeted with champagne and informed... More

The most amazing place we have ever visited. Could not fault it in the slightest! We went on honeymoon and got upgraded straight away. We stayed at rock lodge and safari lodge and they are both worth doing. The safari trips are out of this world and defiantly worth getting out of bed for! Everything is all inclusive and it... More

There are so many things to consider when planning a safari trip (especially if it's your first, as this was for me) that it can be overwhelming. How long do I stay? What should I bring? What will the weather be like? How do I get from point A to point B? Here's one thing to make your planning easier:... More

Just spent 4 nights at Ulusaba - our first safari experience. Ulusaba, like many safari lodges is expensive but having now been there I can understand why. Ratio of staff to guests is 3:1. The price you pay includes everything - all game drives (2 a day), all food and all drink. Our extras bill was .... zero. Service was... More

Truly an amazing, uplifting experience! I told my husband that I was sorry as I could never top this vacation! Airport/Transfers: You are met by your ranger at the airport, greeted with a hearty welcome and a glass of champagne. A great way to start off your day after arrival. The ranger takes you to the lodge so you can... More
