"You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul.” – BRIDGET DORE "You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumb prints; our drum beats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul.” - BRIDGET DORE For Dulini is truly a family affair, born of long-established friendships and a deep connection to the African wilderness. We look forward to when you will bring your family, to meet ours. Furthermore, Dulini employs more than 130 staff members, most of whom make their home in these local communities, and their steady income helps to support their large extended families. "We have made a conscious decision to operate smaller lodges with a lighter environmental footprint," explains Iain. "And, by operating with a high ratio of staff to guests we can maximise employment and training opportunities to play our part in uplifting the local communities." Connect With Us CLICK BOTTON RIGHT-HAND CORNER TO TURN SOUND ON The Word "Dulini" Dulini is the African name given to a termite mound that offers shelter to secretive creatures such as the aardvark. Many years ago, whilst exploring the rich riverine grove, the founders of the original site of Dulini Moya disturbed an aardvark resident to a nearby Dulini. Thus it became known as place of the antbear. More appropriately translated, Dulini is "a sanctuary or shelter" offering refuge to many wild creatures - from pangolins and warthogs, to pythons and aardvark. To us as the custodians of this special place, the name Dulini has evolved to mean place of sanctuary a sought-after hideaway. It is a place close to our hearts and we look forward to sharing it with you. Conservation Partnership The conservation of wildlife is achieved through the partnership between sustainable wildlife management, empowering local communities and the practice of ethical tourism. It is our endeavour to develop and deliver this partnership with excellence.

Together we bring positive change to many lives. "To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." -NELSON MANDELA Project Dignity The Dulini Family is passionate about supporting local women and bettering lives. And we extend this invitation to our guests, to join us in our endeavour. Alarmingly, up to 60% of rural African girls drop out of school because of menstruation; with a lack of access to basic sanitary wear leaving them socially, economically, and politically marginalised. Project Dignity works to empower pubescent schoolgirls from impoverished rural backgrounds to complete their education, by equipping them with a reliable supply of basic sanitary products. Statistics show that there are over 4500 female learners of pubescent age in the 29 schools of the 14 villages surrounding the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve. We aim to deliver dignity to every pubescent girl in our area by providing ongoing access to washable sanitary towels. For ZAR360 / $22, you can gift a young woman the dignity to stay in school and unlock her true potential. ​ *Stats: 4200 girls reached, 23 schools, 11 villages. ​ Support This Project The campus currently services approximately 400 school-aged learners per week, and is the foremost adult skills-training centre in the local rural area. We are extremely proud of the establishment of this digital learning model that offers access to a world-class education for rural students and scholars. Dumphries Digital Learning Campus Of 100 children that start school in South Africa, approximately 60 will reach their final year, 37 will graduate, and only 12 will access university. Almost none will be adequately equipped to participate in the fourth industrial revolution. ​ We are on a mission, in partnership with the Good Work Foundation, to change this. *Stats: 587 school learners weekly, 68 adult learners daily, 14 community educators.

The Rejuvenation Of Dulini Moya In 2021, while global travel was on pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Dulini Moya under went a dramatic refurbishment. With both major structural changes and a beautiful soft refurbishment, the original Dulini lodge has been transformed into a safari destination that retains its much-loved classic safari style and charm, while infusing the guest experience with new levels of contemporary luxury and unsurpassed African hospitality. Welcome To The Dulini Family DULINI IS A PROUDLY FAMILY-RUN PARTNERSHIP OF THE DAVIS AND GARRATT CLANS. In October 2012, the Garratt and Davis families were privileged to realize a longstanding dream in the acquisition of Dulini. Their friendship was forged in the early 1990’s when Mick and Barbara Davis were first hosted as guests by Iain and Sue Garratt at the original Dulini Bush Camp. Their friendship is inspired by a love of the wilderness, a passion for excellence and the desire to make a significant contribution to conservation and the lives of those who journey with them. ​ Intrigued by the vision and success of Dulini, and their own passion for wildlife and conservation, Daniel and Marianne Gutknecht approached Iain to find them a similar opportunity. It was with their acquisition of Exeter in 2015, that the Dulini portfolio grew to include Dulini River and Dulini Leadwood.
