Owned by Sir Richard Branson, Ulusaba Private Game Reserve is set in the heart of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve that borders the sprawling Kruger National Park in South Africa's Mpumalanga province. Experienced trackers and game rangers will accompany you on game drives in open land rovers, tracking the Big Five and sharing with you their vast knowledge of the surrounding wildlife. Ulusaba received the 2007 Gold Achiever Award by AA Accommodation's 'South Africa's Best' amongst a total of 30 properties in South Africa and it was also voted in 18th place in the recent 2006 Condé Nast Readers Travel Awards for Best Hotels.

Ulusaba Private Game Reserve features one of the finest game viewing areas on Earth and consists of two stunning 10-roomed Lodges. One is perched high on the summit of a koppie (rocky hill) and is called Rock Lodge. The other of Ulusaba's luxury safari accommodation offerings is the Safari Lodge which is built along the banks of the dry Mabrak riverbed. You'll have the unique sights, sounds and smells of Africa on your doorstep - while still enjoying the kind of style and luxury you'd expect from a five star boutique hotel.

How to reach there:

• Ulusaba is just a 1 hour and 20 minutes flight from Johannesburg.



• Ulusaba has its own private airstrip, and there are daily scheduled and charter flights available.
