Ulsuba’s Fascinating Safari Lodge in the African Bush
In the bush under the forest canopy amongst the trees is the exclusive Ulusaba Safari Lodge. It’s on the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. From the lodge you see the creatures of the wild as they wander to a watering hole. A world class retreat in South Africa owned by Sir Richard Branson.
The Safari Room in the African Bush
The Safari Room at the lodge is a blend of the modern and the conventional designs with touches of natural elements. The interiors are in soft neutral tones and patterns. The Safari Rooms are near the main lodge and includes spacious viewing decks and en-suite bathrooms. All with an impressive view of the watering hole as well as the riverbed.
The Elephant Room alongside a Migratory Route
The Elephant Room is called as such because you do not need to go out to see the enormous creature. It’s positioned near a migratory route where the elephants frequent. You can gaze upon these giants strolling on the open plains from your room. Ideal for groups of travellers, all are with spacious viewing decks as well as en-suite bathrooms.
The Spacious River Rooms amongst the Trees
The River Rooms are tucked among the Jackalberry trees. The tree house style accommodations have huge living areas and a fantastic view of the South African terrain and the river bed. Two of the four River Rooms also include a private plunge pool. Three are accessible via the swing bridge and are just a brief walk from the main lodge.
Treehouse Suites set in the Sabi Sand Wilderness
The Treehouse Suite is an exclusive accommodation that offers a view of the Xikwenga Dam. Fact is from your private deck you can observe the elephants and hippos as they bathe under the heat of the African sun. The Treehouse Suite is accessed by raised walkways and swing bridges and is an estimated 10 minute walk from the main lodge.
Treehouse Viewing Deck Overlooking the Xikwenga Dam
If you want to go further in the South African Bush spend time at the Safari Lodge’s treehouse viewing deck. Think about it…a terrific setting in the wilderness that offers a view the Xikwenga Dam. You will find hippos and elephants enjoying their bath. It’s a refuge within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve with an unobstructed view of the terrain.
A Wilderness Retreat that Soothes the Mind and Body
Take a break from the high temperatures and cool down at the Safari Lodge pool. The pool area with a laid-back atmosphere is surrounded by greenery. A refreshing dip relieves you of physical and mental stress. Have a cocktail and find rest while soaking the sun’s rays or swimming. Or get a spa treatment at Aroma Boma after a swim.
Stargazing in the Bush at the Ulusaba Safari Lodge
Wouldn’t it be great if you can watch the stars in the African sky while staying in the wilderness? Gaze at the stars as darkness sets in at Safari Lodge’s Bush Observatory. The rangers will help explain more about the constellations seen from points in the southern hemisphere. Fix your eyes on the heavens while on a magical safari getaway.
Ulusuba Safari Lodge Offers the Best Local Vintage
The good news is that on top of the luxurious accommodations the Ulusaba Safari Lodge offers it has a well-stocked wine cellar. South Africa is well-known for its local vintage. So if you have a thirst for either red or white just let the lodge’s staff know and they will give you the best selection the region has to offer.
African Safaris and Excursions at the Ulusaba Safari Lodge
You can explore the great outdoors with excursions featuring the wildlife and the raw beauty of the African landscape. Game drives are scheduled twice every day so you can catch a glimpse of the Big Five. One of the favourite activities while at the Ulusaba Safari Lodge is the Elephant Whispers experience on the banks of Sabie River in Hazyview.
