Set above the perennial waters of the Sand River, Dulini River’s understated décor and subtle African aesthetic, infused with the tones and textures of the riverine setting, combine to create an effortlessly stylish safari escape. Beneath the boughs of mature riverine forest, boardwalks meander to reach the six chic suites, each boasting a wide private terrace and offering unforgettable wilderness that will leave you feeling enchanted and longing for more. The serenity of the setting is reflected in elemental tones and textures of six magnificent suites, which emerge from the banks of the river. With cantilevered decks boasting heated plunge pools, relaxation in Nature’s peace is a given. From walls of dry-packed stone to striking chandeliers of hand-carved wooden branches, throughout the lodge organic textures and tones reflect the palette of panoramic views enjoyed from the elevated deck overlooking the Sand River. In the lounge a crackling fire keeps the winter’s chill at bay, while the multi-level dining area offers both a vibrant communal space and a memorable venue for intimate private dinners.
