Ulusaba Safari Lodge

Just wanted to say thank you for helping us organize our Sabi Sands trip – we had the best time and found it very difficult to leave! We were lucky enough to be the only passengers on the Skukusa / Ulusaba flight both ways so it felt like a private t ransfer. Ulusaba was exceptional from start to finish – we had excellent game drives, personalized service and lots of unexpected surprises including a 'bush bar' one night after the game drive where they’d set up an outdoor bar in front of a bonfire where we were treated to a performance from some of the local singers / dancers! We were also really glad we chose Safari Lodge over Rock Lodge after seeing both properties. Rock Lodge has incredible views, but at Safari Lodge we were amongst the action and we even had elephants walking past our room which was really special. We would definitely recommend it and also hope to return back there some time in the future.

Ulusaba Safari Lodge (thanks Kathryn for suggesting I should end our holiday here) was a dream come true. I do not have words to describe the experience, I could see all Big 5 couple of times, brilliant location, lovely and attentive staff. I have fo od preference that normally restricts the food choices but I was served with delicious food and a 7-course candlelight dinner on our last day (it was too hot and too dry for camp/bonfire cultural activity but I didn't miss it). I felt very safe on game drives because of ranger and tracker. Both of them were very knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and all for responsible tourism. I really appreciate that he didn't rush us in covering distance and made sure the animals were at ease with distance. I loved the lookout tower and was there everyday. They also upgraded us to a plunge pool suite for our last two nights when I mentioned we were planning to book but it was not available for the three nights.

"We absolutely loved South Africa and nearly everything was beyond our expectations. Ulusaba was also exceptional. The accommodation was beautiful, the safari incredible and the service without fault."

"The Ulusaba experience was great. The lodge, staff, ranger and tracker were all top quality. In two days I was able to see the Magnificent 7! I would certainly recommend."

We had an awesome time. We absolutely loved Ulusaba and everyone there. It was a perfect choice. Chuck and I are considering going back to Ulusaba ourselves for our 30th wedding anniversary next year. We will keep you posted. We got to see all th e big five and even saw the lions and leopards mating. All the staff at Ulusaba were exceptional. No complaints from us about anything. We would go back in a heartbeat.

"I will write more in a few days once I get through the big backlog at work, but in short the trip was amazing. Ulusaba and its staff were lovely. We definitely want to come back."

"Ulusaba was fantastic! Really great service, we really enjoyed it."

"Our favourite was Ulusaba Safari Lodge. It is hard to put into words how incredible those five days were. The game drives and the staff were top notch. They made us feel like family."

Ulusaba was amazing, seriously the best place we have ever stayed, and that is saying a lot because we have stayed in luxury resorts all over the world! You should highly recommend it without hesitation to all of your clients!! They upgraded us to a nicer room without saying a word (they must just do it automatically if available), the service was amazing, food incredible, game drives fantastic, the staff were the best, seriously everything was perfect!! We couldn't have asked for a better experience, there is seriously nothing they could do to make it better!

We were made to feel so welcome again, Llane and Karl met us off the plane, every member of staff went out of their way to say welcome back and we really felt special. The game viewing here is so good and this year was no exception - Jeff came home w ith close to 4000 photos! The lodge and rooms are lovely - and it is always really nice to see the little changes and improvements they make each year. The service has always been good, and we were really pleased to note that the standard of the food has dramatically improved on last year.

"Animal viewing at Ulusaba was amazing. I would highly recommend either camp!"

"We loved Ulusaba and would probably rate it our first choice over all the other camps we have visited."

Was outstanding! The staff, the lodge and the game drives were all incredible! He was quite taken back by just how close the encounters are with the wildlife - not complaining though as he was in awe of the sightings he saw - including a night drive with the lions eating a kill!
