Richard Branson’s Ulusaba Game Lodge, Sabi Sands, South Africa: An incredible safari experience

Ulusaba Lodge Sabi Sands Game Reserve South Africa The Richard Branson owned Ulusaba Lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Kruger National Park in South Africa is quite something. It is not only a unique and stylish place to stay, quite unlike anything you would expect from a safari lodge – but also offers amazing opportunities to see all the “big 5” Game (Lions, buffalos, leopards, elephants and rhinoceroses) on the twice daily safari trips that…

Too Many Cruisers Fall For These Cruise Drink Package Traps

…age with other amenities (Wi-Fi, Speciality Dining and Excursion credits). Richard wondered if that was a better option than buying the drinks and other items individually. Celebrity has “Always Included”, Princess has “Princess Plus” and “Princess Premier”, and Norwegian has just as I record this revamped theirs to a new “More At Sea” package. The watch-out I had for Richard is to never assume that the drinks package included in these bundles are…

It is right on the top of a hill built on stilts with thatched roofs, and you have incredible views over the bush and wildlife. They also have the Safari Lodge at the bottom of the hill. The rooms are built tree house‑style. The reason they do that is…

Before You Consider Virgin Voyages, What You Need To Know

…Rock Star Suites of varying sizes. They look fantastic and have access to Richard’s Rooftop area, a suite-only access area which is pretty cool. Dining Options When it come to dining, if you love buffets and have been put off Virgin Voyages by the reported lack of a buffet, don’t be. There is a buffet really. For me, on the plus side, it’s actually more like a food court than a traditional buffet. So it was already more Covid protocol ready. It i…

It is really quite something! This one leaves you literally breathless. The lounge opened originally back in 2006, althou…

Update on Virgin Atlantic poor service after VS18 fiasco

…about 10 days ago sent an email saying my complaint had been forwarded to Richard Branson’s office. What I got, despite the detailed letter I had sent, was the same standard reply other have got but with a change saying as Upper Class I would get 50000 miles. The letter clearly states that they were offering a free round trip and miles. But when I queried how to claim the flight they sent an email back saying you can choose EITHER the miles OR th…

I Cruised On Virgin Voyages To See If It Was For People Like Me

…around my age are the generation that grew up with them. We were young as Richard Branson emerged and took on established brands and broke the established rules – and we lapped it up.
