Of all lodges located in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Ulusaba Rock Lodge is probably one of the lodges offering the most amazing views over the South African bushveld. Ulusaba Rock Lodge is situated on a hilltop offering uninterrupted panorama views. With just ten rooms in total, you can be sure to enjoy an intimate experience. This luxurious safari lodge is distinctly African in style: traditional art and furnishings blend seamlessly with modern conveniences, ensuring maximum comfort. The main lodge is under thatch and boasts extensive viewing decks where guests can appreciate the vistas. Soak in the natural rock pool, in between game drives and bush walks, or enjoy a relaxing treatment in the luxurious spa.
The rooms are spacious and offer everything you need: air-conditioning for hot African afternoons, a big bathroom and a wellstocked minibar. All rooms are individually decorated and inspired on both modern and traditional African art. The ‘Master Suite’ and two ‘Makwela Suites’ have their own private plunge pools. Wildlife roams freely in the Sabi Sands so you may get lucky and watch the ‘Big Five’ from the privacy of your own room.
