Dulini's three lodges sit on the Sand and Mabrak rivers in the west of the reserve, each with only a handful of suites. The scale is the point: mornings feel like a private safari, and the traverse is renowned for its density of lions and leopards.
The style is polished but personal — more beloved private home than grand hotel — with hosting that adapts to exactly how sociable, or not, you feel after a long day in the bush.
Six suites above the Mabrak riverbed — the most classically romantic of the three.
Contemporary and light, with a pared-back elegance and a wonderfully private feel.
Six suites on the Sand River, named for the ancient leadwood trees that shade them.
Because the lodges are so small, exclusive use is genuinely attainable here — taking all six suites of Leadwood or River for a family or friend group is one of our favourite quiet recommendations in the whole reserve.
