The lodge looks out over the Mbali Dam and the Nhlaralumi River, both of which draw elephant, buffalo and a wide range of birds to the water's edge. The Drakensberg Mountains are visible on the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lodge has eight tented suites, each positioned for views over the bushveld, the dam, and the river. French doors open onto a private deck fitted with a sala pavilion and a double day bed. The en-suite bathroom connects to the sleeping tent through a short passage, and each suite has its own plunge pool. Beds are available as king or twin. No children under twelve are permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGame drives run twice daily — early morning and late afternoon, when animals are most active. Each vehicle goes out with an English-speaking guide paired with a tracker from the local Shangaan community, who between them read spoor, bird alarm calls, and fresh sightings radioed across the reserve. The Timbavati is home to the Big Five, with leopard and wild dog sighted regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral evenings a week, dinner moves to the boma — a circular, lantern-lit enclosure — for a campfire meal under the open sky. The lodge also has a spa, a bar, a restaurant, and a library. A pool, spa treatments, and stargazing round out the time between drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- plk-tmpl-cb 2026-07-31T09:26:52.043Z --\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43556234526779,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/38183simbavatihilltoplodge-luxurytentedsuite101jpg_a34bf524-3a6a-4cde-8f47-a00144e2f1c4.webp?v=1780133111"},{"product_id":"ulusaba-private-game-reserve","title":"Ulusaba Private Game Reserve","description":"\u003cp\u003eSafari Lodge is one of two lodges at Ulusaba Private Game Reserve, which occupies a section of the Sabi Sand Reserve alongside Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga. The lodge follows a dry riverbed, and elephants use a migratory route that passes directly by several of the rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rooms divide into three types. Safari Rooms are the smallest at thirty square metres, each with a large viewing deck and en-suite bathroom close to the main lodge. Elephant Rooms are sixty square metres, built for views over the bush, and work well for friends travelling together. River Rooms are the most private: treehouse-style, one hundred square metres, reached by a rope bridge, with seating areas and views over the riverbed or bush. Two of the River Rooms have plunge pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lodge has a wine cellar with outdoor dining for up to eight guests, positioned to overlook the waterhole and dry riverbed. Game regularly comes to drink within sight of the table. Guests from Rock Lodge — Ulusaba's second lodge, built on a koppie summit — can come down to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActivities run twice daily as guided game drives, with guided bush walks also available. An on-site observatory is used by rangers for stargazing sessions at no additional charge. The Aroma Boma spa, two floodlit tennis courts, and community tours organised through the reserve's charitable programme round out the stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUlusaba is scheduled to reopen in April 2027 following a full reimagining of both lodges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805370974267,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/152771758031132452ulusaba-safari-lodge-pool-1jpg_62783143-f6cc-40bc-8dcb-5bf7cf15aa63.webp?v=1784323685"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-us\/collections\/place-kruger-park.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
