We went to Dulini over Christmas as part of our Honeymoon. I must say, it was one of the most magical experiences anyone could ask for! The way one lodge can make it seem like you are eating meals in a completely different locations each meal time is something very impressive. Given we were on our honeymoon, the number of... More

We stayed at Dulini for 4 nights in March 2013 and it is simply amazing! We chose Dulini because of its reviews on Trip Advisor and the reviews didn't do it justice. The physical grounds of Dulini are lovely. The lodge is located inside the Sabi Sands game reserve and is open to the reserve except for the elephants. Most... More

It's difficult to write a review about Dulini that does it full justice. Normally I would review a hotel as a place treat, sleep, meet and relax, but Dulini is so much more. It's the catalyst for an experience that will stay with you for life! To review it simply as a lodging would be to totally miss the point.... More

Dulini Lodge currently occupies Tripadvisors #1 rank in Sabi Sands for good reason. It is perfection. It has a natural rustic, non-resorty-outward appearance, but with every luxury. Only 6rms-individual chalets really-each with LR (stocked bar incl,) luxurious glass-walled bathroom with indoor and outdoor stone shower, king bedroom opening to a spacious very private deck with views, plunge pool and chaises....

We stayed at Dulini for a weekend and stayed in many 5 star lodges before and Dulini is a perfect 5 star location. - perfect game viewing (big 5 almost guarantied) - excellent food - fantastic rooms The best thing about &beyond is the outstanding service quality. From the beginning to the end... Thank you!!!

one word, repeated many times... wow, wow, wow. The lodge was luxurious and spacious, the food was exceptional, every meal was superb and the service was impeccable. We really can't speak highly enough to do justice to the four days and nights we spent at the Exeter Dulini lodge. For our entire stay we were looked after extremely well, all... More

If I had to pick one place to be on earth for the rest of my life, it would be Dulini Lodge. We have travelled all over the world and stayed at many amazing places, but nothing to compare to Dulini Lodge. Yes, it's an older lodge and not as fancy as some of the more modern ones, but the... More

I really don’t think I could do Exeter Dulini justice by writing about how amazing it was to spend 5 days in the company of some of the most knowledgeable, friendly, respectful people I think I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I visited here with my new wife on a South Africa Honeymoon and it without doubt completed... More

TEAM DULINI We stayed at Dulini btwn Christmas and new years 2012 and can 100% recommend this lodge and its staff to anyone. This ranks as one of the best overall experiences we have ever had. This is a small “boutique” lodge if you will, so you get to know all the staff and most all of the guests with... More

Where do I begin? Dulini was our second stop of our honeymoon and it simply does not get better than this. We were greeted by the lovely Gift with a nice cool drink (a ginger ale concoction that was just delicious as it was refreshing), cool hand towels to freshen up after our drive from the airport, and an amazing...
