Dulini, South Africa

Superbly located in South Africa’s world renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, family-owned Dulini comprises three magnificent and luxurious safari lodges – each one unique and exceptional in its own right. This is a place to celebrate the quintessential spirit and thrill of the African wilderness. Leopard, giraffe, elephant, wildebeest and lion roam freely. The Sabi Sands is home to the Big Five and it is also a space known for its sustainability and conservation efforts. Dulini encapsulates the very essence of a luxury safari – lavish comfort, exceptional guiding and unforgettable memories that leave you longing to return. The Dulini experience embraces the traditional romance of safari and plays it out in dramatic elegant style in each of its special sanctuaries – Dulini Leadwood, Dulini Moya and Dulini River.

At Dulini, conservation is about so much more than protecting wildlife, it's about looking after the people who call this incredible part of the world home too. Through low-impact, sustainable tourism, Dulini helps fund the protection of the pristine Sabi Sand wilderness while supporting local communities through the esiDulini Community Trust. The trust invests in education, food relief, healthcare, and care for the elderly, creating real opportunities for families in the surrounding villages. Most of Dulini's team comes from these neighbouring communities, with employment, training, and skills development playing a big role in making a lasting difference. By combining ethical tourism with conservation and community upliftment, every safari at Dulini helps protect this extraordinary ecosystem while ensuring its benefits are shared with the people who live alongside it.

Highlights

Dulini Leadwood

Named after the giant trees which take deep root in the mature riverine forest of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Dulini Leadwood is a truly stunning safari lodge which seamlessly integrates into its breathtaking setting. Nestled at the confluence of the Sand and Mabrak Rivers, the lodge draws its striking style inspiration from the beautiful natural surroundings. Here, there are just four contemporary suites, all with alluring views over the granite boulders of the Sand River. Each has a large wooden deck with a private heated pool – the perfect place to relax between morning and afternoon game drives. The generous open-plan bathrooms feature a freestanding bath, walk-in rain shower and outdoor shower. Floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows frame the picturesque environment allowing the bushveld to flow in. Vibrant splashes of brass and ochre reflect the soils of the wilderness whilst the walls of rough-hewn stone echo the granite boulders. Perfect for an idyllic honeymoon or ideal as an exclusive sanctuary for a family gathering or special celebration amongst friends, Dulini Leadwood is the ultimate serene safari haven. Dining is a culinary adventure from alfresco breakfast on the Treehouse Deck to lantern lit dinners, either in the lodge or the privacy of your suite. Soothing post-safari massages can be arranged to mark the perfect relaxing end to an exhilarating day!
