Overview
Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is Sir Richard Branson's exclusive safari retreat in the Sabi Sands, comprising two distinct lodges — the celebrated Rock Lodge, dramatically perched on a rocky outcrop 30 metres above the surrounding bushveld, and Safari Lodge, set amid the trees along a dry riverbed below.
Part of the Virgin Limited Edition collection, Ulusaba combines the flamboyance and personality of the Virgin brand with genuine Big Five safari luxury. The views from Rock Lodge's infinity pool are among the most spectacular in all of the Sabi Sands.
Ulusaba operates its own community development programme — "Spirit of Ubuntu" — which supports healthcare, education, and enterprise development in the surrounding communities.
