subject: Richard Bransons Ulusaba Private Game Reserve [print this page] Falling under the rather glamorous Virgin umbrella, this resort it one that has it all. Situated in the Western area of the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, which has long been hailed as arguably the most sought after spot for wildlife viewing, it is a near impossible task to find a better safari option. The peace and serenity of this pristine wilderness sings to the soul itself and everything from silver service catering to the very best game rangers in the industry today are available to all guests.
The name Ulusaba literally means Place of Little Fear and it is a rather apt name if taken in the correct context. This is a home away from home which provides every creature comfort without losing the entire feel of the safari vacation. Seeing as it is set in the Sabi Sands region, this means that the Big Five themselves are close at hand and simply waiting for your cameras. With professionally led game drives in powerful 4x4s, guests of the lodge will be capable of traveling down every trail of interest and will not miss a thing along the way.
The resort itself is an awe inspiring development which caters to every possible need. With a relaxing atmosphere and friendly service Ulusaba receives a great deal of repeat business, which is a clear indication of its well deserved popularity. The architecture follows along the lines of classic colonial style and has several swimming pools, gyms and a rather impressive wine cellar set to please the most discerning of pallets. Ladies need not fear the rejuvenating African sun either, as the Aroma Boma spa is also on site to tend to their needs, and tennis courts are perhaps the finishing touch which should suit the whole family.
There are two lodges on offer here which gives repeat patrons a little bit of added variety, but both the Rock Lodge and Safari Lodge offer the final word in comfort and quality. The well known and celebrated Rock Lodge is situated on the summit of a koppie which was professionally selected to take advantage of the magnificent views available to its guests. As a calculated bonus it also provides a very clear view of a great deal of wildlife going about their business on the plains of the lowveld.
Alternatively, Safari Lodge was constructed along the banks of the Mabrak riverbed. This is its own reward and offers an entirely different experience of the area. The beauty inherent in the natural design of this lodge is simply exquisite and the children simply adore crossing the swinging bridges between the tree houses, or admiring the elephants and lions from on high.
