Ulusaba

Ulusaba is a Virgin Limited Edition retreat and forms part of Sir Richard Branson's collection of unique retreats and luxury hotels. Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is located in the western sector of the Sabi Sand Reserve, near Kruger National Park in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.

Upon confirmation of your Ulusaba reservation, Secrets VIP guests are also treated to one night complimentary stay at The Peermont D’Oreale Grande Hotel at Emperors Palace with return airport transfers.

Ulusaba means “place of little fear”. That’s because the koppie where Rock Lodge sits provided the ancient Shangaan warriors with the perfect lookout point. Spend time at Rock Lodge and you’ll be flying with the eagles, or take a walk on the wild side back down to earth at Safari Lodge. In 2018, Ulusaba won Best Luxury Safari Resort in Travel + Leisure (India) and in 2017, was voted 3rd in Conde Nast Traveler's (US) Top Resorts in Africa.  Ulusaba is known for the quality of its safari experience, with some of the most experienced Rangers and Trackers in the country. 

All guests at Ulusaba can expect luxurious accommodation, outstanding food, twice-daily game drives, safari walks, unforgettable views and plenty of smiles while you’re here with us in the African bush. Below are the venue options from this portfolio:

Rock Lodge

Rock Lodge has the best view in the Sabi Sand – and we promise we’re not biased! Perched high on the summit of a koppie, with panoramic views over miles of bush, grab a pair of binoculars to see what you can spot. Within Rock Lodge is Cliff Lodge a two bedroom suite, perfect for some added privacy. Both Rock and Cliff Lodge are ideal for families with children of all ages who are welcome to join our Cub’s Club.

Safari Lodge

Safari Lodge is built along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed and some rooms are built ‘tree house’ style and you really get the feeling of being in the heart of life in the bush. Your room will provide fascinating views of the animals as they stroll past on their way to the nearby watering hole.

Cliff Lodge

Located a short walk from the Main House at Rock Lodge, Cliff Lodge features two magnificent suites offering guests the ultimate in safari luxury. When you book both suites for exclusive use we include your own chef and private vehicle for game drives, and you have full use of a private gym and spa treatment room. Cliff Lodge can accommodate a maximum of five adults and four children when booked exclusively.

The two Cliff Lodge Suites can also be booked individually within four months prior to guest arrival.
