First of all let's get the negative points out of the way - we had to leave too soon and it cost me a fortune in tissues as my wife was so upset at leaving. We were privileged to stay at Safari Lodge for five nights at the start of April. Our holidays are usually beach-based so this was a... More

We spent 4 nights at Ulusaba safari lodge on our recent honeymoon and it couldn't have been more perfect. The lodge is right on the river bed, nestled into the trees so that it tastefully blends into the surrounds. The rooms are set out beautifully and comfortably. The food was delicious and we subsequently ate far too much! The service... More

My wife and I stayed here last year in September for my birthday. We split the holiday between the Safari lodge and the Rock lodge, 3 days in each. I assume that most people go to see the animals, if so I would say to give the Rock lodge a miss. Don't get me wrong, it's five star plus accommodation,... More

We stayed at Ulusaba for 4 nights in mid November 2011. We booked the three night photographic safari and it was the best safari we have ever had. I have been to Zimbabwe twice, Kenya twice and South Africa before on safai but the game drives from Ulusaba were amazing and our driver and spotter were the best. The photographic... More

We stayed there in late July and here we are 5 months later and all we can do is think and talk about how great our experience was. The food, the local people, the staff, the game drives (we saw everything and then some), the attention to detail, our rooms.... It was amazing. My wife and I are hard to... More

My husband and I were originally booked for 3 nights up at the Rock lodge, but after one night we realized it was not for us and the manager suggested we move down the mountain to Safari lodge. Upon arriving at Safari, we realized that it was more to our liking because after staying at many different safari lodges, we... More

My husband and I travelled with my parents to Ulusaba for 3 nights to celebrate my birthday. This was the first visit for my husband but the rest of us had been previously. The flights there and back are an experience and not for those scared of flying. However this is part of the experience! We were collected by our... More

This was our first safari and first port of call for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. We arrived in Ulusaba on a small plane, and although the arrival was somewhat bumpy, we were greeted and welcomed by our ranger, Sammy. The moment we arrived at Ulusaba, the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive without exception. The quality... More

When I planned the trip, I looked up at many 5 stars safari and picked Ulusaba but wasn't sure because they all sounded the same and the price was highbut what a great choice and worth every penny!!!. My boyfriend and I were there for 3 nights and 4 days and I didn't want to leave. I never thought of... More
