About Dulini Game Reserve

Dulini Game Reserve is an ultra-exclusive private concession within the western Sabi Sand Wildtuin, bordering Kruger National Park. With just three intimate lodges sharing this pristine section of bushveld along the Sand River, Dulini offers one of the most private and luxurious safari experiences in all of southern Africa. The reserve benefits from the same exceptional wildlife viewing that makes the Sabi Sand famous — outstanding leopard sightings, Big Five encounters, and wild dog movements through the area. Dulini's section of the Sand River provides a permanent water source that draws dense concentrations of game, particularly during the dry winter months. Traversing rights across the wider Sabi Sand ensure vast game-viewing areas.
