Welcome to The Dome Luxury Safari Villa, a luxurious, brand new, glass dome tucked deep inside the wild beauty of Kuleni Private Game Reserve. Surrounded by zebra, giraffe, nyala and more roaming free, your stay here is unforgettable from the moment you arrive. Relax in a stunning garden where zebra & giraffe casually stroll past, cool off in the private pool, and enjoy evenings by the outdoor fire-pit or boma. For the ultimate indulgence, unwind under the stars in the wood-fired jacuzzi or freshen up in the outdoor shower.

Hi! We’re Thies and Birgit, born and raised in Amsterdam. We fell in love with South Africa 13 years ago, and it has truly captured our hearts ever since. Over the years, we’ve built a small collection of luxury safari villas in both the southern Kruger Park area and Hluhluwe, each designed to let guests experience the magic of the bush in comfort and style. Hosting has become a joyful part of our lives, and we hope to keep doing it for many years to come. We’d love to welcome you soon!

Kuleni Private Game Reserve is one of the most beautiful reserves in South Africa. There are no safari vehicles here. Guests explore on foot or by bicycle, which creates a very pure bush experience. Only driving to and from your accommodation is allowed. The reserve has a network of well-marked walking trails, making it ideal for calm wildlife viewing and connecting with the environment. You can regularly see giraffe, zebra, nyala, kudu, impala and warthog throughout the reserve or even from the comfort of your deck if you stay still and let the bush come to you. Kuleni also offers excellent birding opportunities with over 600 recorded species in the area. A dedicated bird-hide is located about 150 metres from the villa, overlooking a waterhole that attracts many species throughout the day. Kuleni is also home to the respected Bhejane Nature Training Camp, famous in South Africa for producing the highest skilled field guides. Their presence reflects the level of care, conservation focus and respect for nature within the reserve. The reserve is also ideally located near all major regional attractions. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Big 5 Game Reserve, St Lucia wetlands, False Bay, and the beaches and dive sites of Sodwana Bay are all easily reachable for day trips. Popular local stops like Delishh Restaurant and the Emdoneni Cheetah Project are also nearby.
