Owned by Sir Richard Branson, Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is set in the heart of Sabi Sand Game Reserve near Kruger National Park, but because it is private, you'll have more than 13,500 hectares of unspoilt African bush to roam in search of the 'Big Five'. You also get the choice of two very different Lodges. Perched on the highest mountain (kopje) in the area, Rock Lodge offers spectacular panoramic views of the bushveld, roaming game below and majestic Drakensberg Mountains in the far distance. At Safari Lodge, along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed, bridges link treehouse-style rooms and allow for close-up encounters with animals strolling to the waterhole and nearby Xikwenga Dam.

For more information about this property or ways to enhance your luxury South Africa Holiday please call our travel consultants.

The Ulusaba Cubs Club
Sir Richard Branson’s Rock Lodge at Ulusaba welcomes children up to 12 years old to its Cubs Club, which offers tailor-made activities. On arrival ‘cubs’ receive a backpack full of goodies and participate in a treasure hunt to familiarise themselves with their surroundings. Over 6-year-olds can join their parents on game-drives into the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve with Rangers who will happily tell them all about the animals they see, while under 6-year-olds can go on short walks to spot birds and lizards. Indoors, there are games to play and DVDs to watch. Other activities include sand art, rock painting, cooking lessons and swimming, and with every base covered, children can look forward to ice-cream, cookies, bedtime stories and an exclusive pen pal club. Complimentary babysitting is also available.

Experiences

Cultural Experience - Ulusaba's Pride 'n' Purpose Charity 
For an authentic South African cultural experience, visit the communities surrounding Ulusaba and enjoy traditional dancing and food-tastings whilst at the same time supporting Pride 'n' Purpose, Ulusaba's charity. This non-profit charity - jointly funded by Virgin Limited Edition and Virgin Unite - focuses on providing improved access to food, water and health services for the six disadvantaged communities (equating to 35,000 people) which live adjacent to Sabi Sand Reserve. Examples of on-going and completed projects include installing FunPumps at a local school to ensure clean, safe water can be provided to the children, building three new creches, providing teacher training for the community's volunteer teachers and planting food gardens at the six houses that Pride'n' Purpose has built around the villages.

Ulusaba would be delighted to tailor-make an itinerary for guests wishing to contribute some of their time to the charity while they are on holiday, based on their interests and the amount of time they wish to devote to the projects which may be happening during their stay. A donation of at least 150 Rand per person, per day is required to visit a community and participate in a project. This offer is valid until 18th December 2012. Please call our Travel Consultants for more information.
