Nkorho Bush Lodge
Thatched en-suite chalets · Northern sector, served by Gowrie Gate. Independently owned, not part of any group. · Nkorho Bush Lodge
High-end
Inside the park
Owner-run
Nkorho is the one north-sector lodge that publishes nothing about price on its own site: no rates page, no tariff sheet, just a link straight into a third-party booking system. Eight thatched, en-suite chalets sleep a maximum of 16 guests. Third-party travel sites quote figures in the R12,000 to R25,000 per person per night range for 2026, but since those come from agents rather than the lodge itself, we record this one as rates on request rather than repeat an unverified number. No conservation levy or traversing figure is published either.

Rates at Nkorho Bush Lodge
Rates on request. Rates on request. Nkorho's own site has no rates or tariff page at all; the navigation runs straight to a third-party booking engine, which we did not use because it is not the lodge's own published rate. Third-party travel agents show figures from roughly R12,000 to R25,000 per person per night for 2026, but those are agent quotes, not the lodge's own figures, so they are not recorded here.
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 Nkorho Bush Lodge
How much does it cost to stay at Nkorho?
Nkorho is the one north-sector lodge that publishes no rates at all on its own site; its navigation leads straight into a third-party booking system instead of a tariff page. Third-party travel agents quote figures from roughly R12,000 to R25,000 per person per night for 2026, but those are agent prices, not the lodge's own, so treat them with caution.
Is Nkorho good for families?
We found no published minimum age or child policy on Nkorho's own site, so it is not clear what age children the lodge accepts. Eight thatched chalets sleep a maximum of 16 guests in total, with a rock pool on site to keep children entertained between drives, but ask about the age policy before booking.
What does a stay at Nkorho include?
Nkorho's own site describes typical African cuisine, a comprehensive wine cellar and game drives led by an experienced ranger and tracker, with laundry available on request. It does not itemise exactly which meals or drinks are included in the room rate, and since no rates page exists, you will need to confirm inclusions when you book.
