As you'd expect from a lodge that's the plaything of Sir Richard Branson, Ulusaba is an extravagant place, with marvellous views out over Sabi Sand from its hilltop perch. Rock Lodge sits high above it all, while nearby Safari Lodge has treehouse-style rooms. Whichever you're at, it's all about views and luxury and wonderful game drives. There's also a spa.
