Owner-run
Jaci's Sabi House is booked whole: one villa, one private guide, one private chef, for up to 4 guests at R62,425 a night in standard 2026 season, R71,165 over the festive peak, each additional guest charged separately to a maximum of 6. That price includes twice-daily drives with a night stop for stargazing, all house drinks and airstrip transfers. It excludes the Sabi Sand Guest Conservation levy, which the lodge states plainly at R320 per person per night in 2026, and Gowrie Gate's own entrance fees. The site cites only the reserve's overall 65,000 hectares, not a traversing figure of its own.
Why you'd pick it
- Books as one exclusive-use villa for up to 4 guests, not by the room
- States its own conservation levy openly at R320 per person per night in 2026
- Only the north sector's total 65,000-hectare reserve size is cited; no lodge-specific traversing figure is published
Rates
From R62,425 per night, exclusive use of the whole lodge for up to 4 guests (2026). Jaci's Sabi House books as a single exclusive-use villa rather than by the room: R62,425 a night for up to 4 guests in standard 2026 season (6 Jan-19 Dec), plus R7,675 per additional guest to a maximum of 6; peak season (20 Dec 2026-5 Jan 2027) runs R71,165 plus R9,880 per extra guest. No 2027 calendar-year rate is published beyond that peak window. VAT included. Because this is a whole-villa rate, we have not divided it by guest count to produce a per-person figure, so no price_usd is given. On top of the villa rate, Jaci's states its own Sabi Sand Guest Conservation levy at R320 per person per night (2026), plus Gowrie Gate fees of R370 per vehicle and R170 per guest.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates and fees come from each lodge's own website, read 16 September 2026, cross-checked against the Sabi Sand Wildtuin's own published Guest Conservation Contribution and access fees at sabisand.co.za (the landowners' association, spelled without an 's') and against a reserve overview compiled the same day. Two booking-agent microsites, sabisands.com and sabisands.co.za (both spelled with an 's', unrelated to the association), were checked for cross-reference only and are not used as a source for any rate or levy figure. Ulusaba's own site quotes no nightly rate for its three lodges, so those are recorded as rates on request. Sabi Sabi and MalaMala are not on the Sabi Sand Wildtuin's own lodge list, and neither states whether the reserve's own conservation contribution applies to a stay there; both maintain their own separate levy or none at all, as noted lodge by lodge.
