Cub’s Club

While at Ulusaba, all kids are “cubs” and each is given a Cub’s Club backpack full of little goodies to entertain and educate them about the African bush. It’s not a set programme, but rather a range of great activities for your cubs to choose from. Every cub’s room is complete with their very own amenities and a personal welcome letter, which includes a health and safety briefing.
