Gondwana has added a new ultra-luxe private safari villa to its portfolio, representing the most exclusive accommodation offering on the reserve. Breathtakingly stylish and sophisticated, yet refreshingly simple, Ulubisi House provides the ideal venue to reconnect with friends and family and to share an exciting safari adventure in the Western Cape’s leading private game reserve. The ultimate private villa on safari.
With 180-degree views of grass plains dotted with game, fynbos-covered rolling hills, and the Outeniqua mountain range, Ulubisi House is tucked away in the reserve’s 1000-hectare protected walking area for endangered species. The timetable runs to guests’ guilt-free whim, and they will instantly feel as though this is their second home. Ideal for friends or families seeking peaceful, quality time together, the privacy is only interrupted by the numerous wild visitors that drop in regularly for a drink from the swimming pool.
Sleeping either 6 adults or 4 adults and 4 children, the property comes with a full complement of staff, including its own butler, chef and field guide. Ideal for friends or families seeking peaceful, quality time together, the privacy is only interrupted by the numerous wild visitors that drop in regularly for a drink from the swimming pool.
Game Drives are included with expert field guides who reveal the free-roaming Big 5 in a Cape Fynbos setting – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Morning and afternoon safaris provide gourmet breakfast treats or delicious hors d’oeuvres and sundowners in the afternoons.
Guided walks are conducted in the 1200-hectare Protected Endangered Species Area, which is entirely fenced off from dangerous wildlife. Please note that guided walks are restricted to a maximum of 6 persons, excluding the guide, and children under the age of 12 are not permitted.
Our Fynbos biome is both unique and spectacular to explore on foot. During these walks, guests will be introduced to the fascinating plants and their life cycles, as well as the endemic birds and animals that call the Fynbos areas of Gondwana home.
The Junior Ranger Programme is complimentary for guests with children.
Upon arrival, families are informed about the Junior Ranger programme, and their ranger will inquire about any special requests, dietary or otherwise, including babysitting.
Children receive a fun Ranger’s backpack and a cool safari booklet to fill in throughout their stay. During game drives and other activities with their ranger, kids are taught how to identify mammals, birds, Fynbos species, and even stars. They gain a greater understanding of conservation and our precious ecosystems.
Activities for younger children will mainly take place around the lodge to keep them closer to their parents.
Upon check-out, they receive a Junior Ranger certificate along with an “insta-pic” with their Junior Ranger.
