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. When you spend time at Rock Lodge you’ll be flying with the eagles, or you can take a walk on the wild side bringing you back down to earth at Safari Lodge.

Anyone who’s been on safari before knows that no two game drives are ever the same! There are two daily game drives at Ulusaba, one leaving early in the morning and one leaving late afternoon, each lasting around three hours.

Times will vary depending on the season, but you should always keep your eyes peeled for the Big 5!

Rock Lodge has the best view in the Sabi Sand – and as we’ve visited many times 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.

For those of you who would like added privacy, within Rock Lodge is Cliff Lodge a two bedroom suite which will be perfect.

Safari Lodge is built along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed where some of the rooms are built ‘tree house’ style. If you choose to stay here, you will really get the feeling of being in the heart of life in the bush.

You will experience fascinating views of the animals as they stroll past your lodge on their way to the nearby watering hole.

The African Bush conjures up some fascinating images of breath-taking wilderness, magical sunrises, amazing wildlife, the big 5 and a retreat far away from any city.

Allow your imagination to become reality at Ulusaba, one of the most beautiful game reserves in Africa.

Recommendations & Tips

Take a good camera, although take care when using a flash – some of the animals aren’t particularly keen. Just ask your Ranger and Tracker for guidance – they’re on good terms with all Ulusaba’s neighbours.

Binoculars, although there is a pair on each game vehicle to share, if you’ve got your own you should certainly bring them. Always bring sunglasses, and in the winter months a sweater or fleece, especially in the evenings.

Ulusaba provide blankets and hot water bottles in winter if it’s cold, along with ponchos if it is raining.

It’s best to wear pale and neutral colours when on game drives so not to attract the animals’ attention any more than strictly necessary!

Please do not bring your mobile phone with you on game drives – there are radios in the cars to contact Ulusaba or the Sabi Sand authorities in case of an emergency.
