Ulusaba Private Game Reserve

Overview

On the edge of the Kruger National Park, Sir Richard Branson’s private game retreat is hidden amongst trees atop a kopje.

The 23 rooms and suites are divided between three lodges; Rock Lodge, known as ‘Heaven in Heaven’, is perched high with great views while the tree house-style rooms of Safari Lodge or ‘Heaven on Earth’, are approached via rope and swing bridges. The final property, Cliff Lodge, offers two magnificent suites with their own private chef, safari vehicle & gym. Families are well catered for, with the Cub’s Club offering child-friendly game drives and activities.
