The lodge's own site shows only a from-price, R27,950 per person per night, without a full seasonal breakdown or a stated conservation levy. 10 chalets along the Sand River. Londolozi's vehicles traverse over 16,000 hectares within its own private game reserve, a figure the lodge states directly rather than citing the whole of Sabi Sand, and that traverse is shared across all five of its camps.

Rates at Londolozi Varty Camp
From R27,950 pppn. Londolozi's own site publishes only a 'from' figure for Varty Camp: R27,950 per person per night, with 2026 and 2027 shown as tabs on the same page but a full seasonal table not extractable from what the lodge publishes. Converted at 1 USD = 16.35 ZAR on 23 September 2026, that is about $1,709. Londolozi does not state a conservation levy amount for this camp; based on the from-rate, that would likely fall in the reserve's Tier 2 band (about R574 per person per night in 2026), but confirm with the lodge.
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.
Questions about Londolozi Varty Camp
Is Varty Camp good for families?
Yes. Varty Camp welcomes children aged six and over on game drives, has interleading rooms for families booking together, and runs a Cubs Den for daytime activities. We found no published minimum age for activities off the vehicle, so confirm the details when you enquire.
What does the rate at Varty Camp include?
Varty Camp's own page gives only a from-rate of R27,950 per person per night, the cheapest of Londolozi's five camps, without breaking down what meals, drinks or activities it covers. A conservation levy likely applies with no published amount. Confirm the inclusions directly before you book.
Can you self-drive to Varty Camp?
No. Sabi Sand is a private reserve, so you can only self-drive to your own booked lodge, not around the reserve, and every game drive then runs through Londolozi's own guides and vehicles. Varty Camp's own site does not state a transfer time or distance from the nearest gate, so confirm arrival logistics when you book.
Is Varty Camp good for a honeymoon?
It can work well. Every chalet at Varty Camp has its own private pool, outdoor shower and outdoor dining sala, set in ancient riverine forest. There is no suite marketed specifically for honeymooners, so ask the lodge whether it offers any romantic extras before you book.
