Superb

We have been lucky enough to stay here several times. It is an amazing lodge with wonderful staff and, in my opinion, cannot be bettered. It is a happy, welcoming place in a great location for animal viewing. There is a fantastic tree house equipped with comfy seating, a little kitchen with a fridge containing cold drinks and a toilet. The tree house looks over a dam where all types of animals come to drink or play in the water (elephants, hippo, giraffes, buffalo, nyala etc) and there is an abundance of bird life. The tree house is approximately a 10 minute walk from the main lodge across two wooden swing bridges and a wooden walkway and is available for everyone to use. Our ranger, Vincent, and tracker, Donald, were wonderful and we saw all the big 5 (some many times) plus over 100 different varieties of birds within a 5 night stay. The food is great and very plentiful and my husband’s gluten free requirement was catered for extremely well. All the staff is wonderful but special mention to the following for being so kind and caring- Vickery, Shelbeigh, Genene, Matt, Patience, Zodwa, Brineth, Ruel and Bongi (as well as Vincent and Donald, previously mentioned). We have visited two other safari lodges in South Africa in Madikwe and Ngala and both pale into insignificance compared to Ulusaba. It truly is ‘heaven on earth’ in our opinion. Read less

A great time at Ulusaba Private Game Reserve

Nov 2, 2024 tandgt Worthing, United Kingdom

Without a doubt the best experience to have in comfort with the attention to detail. The Ulusaba family make you cared for and welcome, they engage with you every day on your comfort and enjoyment. Our ranger Vincent so knowledgeable with a passion for wildlife and the landscape, every question answered in-depth. Our tracker Donald again so knowledgeable, he makes you feel so welcome with a smile for every occasion (spot on). Every drive we went on there was something new, wildlife, bird life or terrain. We would not hesitate to give a five star + rating the food is also excellent. Will definitely be back. Read less

Stunning setting made even better by a fantastic team

Oct 27, 2024 Suziewrong Ile de Re, France

What an amazing experience, from the minute we arrived we were greeted by Mike one of the safari guides/driver and John our tracker and made to feel welcome. A home away from home. The game drives were awesome and the driving superb. The guides were very respectful of the animals, so we never had more than two jeeps at one sighting which was really important for us. The lodge is beautiful, great views to watch the hippos and a fun rope bridge across the dry riverbed each day between our room and the main lodge. The days consisted of an early rise and snacks, morning game drive and sunrise drinks, lunch (for those with healthy appetites) and afternoon /evening game drives around 4:30pm. The front of house team lead by Matt did a great job and made a special effort for our anniversary. We were lucky to have a fantastic jeep with just my husband and I and some great new friends from the USA we had such a laugh. Overall I could not recommend this lodge highly enough we shed a tear when we had to leave. Shout out to Mike and John, you’re the best. Read less

Look no further. Yes, Ulusaba is luxurious. Yes, the game viewing is spectacular. REALLY SPECTACULAR! Yes, the food is delicious. But it is the people that make you want to hurry back. The smiles, the hugs, the LOVE. It is truly heaven on earth. Special shout out to Danielle, Henry (ranger) and David (tracker). You are now family and we WILL see… Read more

WONDERFUL!

Oct 24, 2024 Karen B Huntsville, United States

JUST WOW! What an experience from start to finish!!!!!!! We loved our stay and wish we had had a few more days. Thanks to the partnership of Michael (guide) and John (tracker) we were able to see and enjoy SO many animals. Michael's knowledge and enthusiasm and John's wisdom and experience were an unstoppable combination. I also received THE BEST massage from Sly. The rest of the staff were very friendly. I just wish they wore name tags. Because of the all we were experiencing and the brief time we had to interact with them, I had difficulty remembering their names....even though I tried! Read less
