Ulubisi House, an exclusive luxury villa within the Gondwana Game Reserve, offers a private and intimate safari experience, perfect for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
Ulubisi House, a spacious and stylish private villa, is perched amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Gondwana Game Reserve, offering 180-degree views of grass plains dotted with game, fynbos-covered rolling hills, and the majestic Outeniqua mountain range. This exclusive African villa provides a luxurious experience, complete with a private field guide, chef, and butler to cater to your every need.
The villa features three luxurious suites, each showcasing modern African design that beautifully blends natural materials with contemporary elegance. Expansive windows and decks allow for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, immersing you in the beauty of nature from the comfort of your private retreat.
The 1,000-hectare protected walking area and abundant wildlife not only enhance your stay but also inspire the villa’s name and dining experiences.

These elusive birds are often spotted near the villa, adding a special touch to your wildlife experience.
Culinary delights at Ulubisi House are crafted using locally sourced ingredients, particularly those from the surrounding fynbos, offering a true taste of the region’s unique flavors.

Nicole Cronje is an absolute pleasure…
Nicole Cronje is an absolute pleasure to work with when planning our safari. Her extensive knowledge of the properties and destinations was invaluable. She patiently answered all of our questions, offered expert advice, and tailored our itinerary to our specific interests. Her friendly and helpful demeanor made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better travel consultant. Thank you, Nicole, for helping us create a truly unforgettable safari experience for next year!

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!

Incredibly helpful and experienced agent Anja
Anja was incredibly helpful and organized the most beautiful safari for us at a small lodge and also arranged our transport. She always responded within minutes no matter the day and took time for all my questions. I will recommend anyone who is looking for a premium experience to get in contact with Anja!
