Group-owned (Tengile MalaMala Collection)
Sable Camp is the smaller of MalaMala's two classic camps, seven thatched suites within the 13,500-hectare MalaMala Game Reserve, some able to sleep three guests sharing rather than the usual two. The 2026 rate runs one flat figure of R30,150 per person sharing, with no 2027 price yet published and no conservation levy amount stated on the site. As with MalaMala Camp next door, Sable sits outside the Sabi Sand Wildtuin's own membership list, so it is worth confirming with the lodge what levy, if any, applies to a stay here.
Why you'd pick it
- Sits within the 13,500-hectare MalaMala Game Reserve, a separately governed neighbouring property
- Some of its 7 thatched suites sleep up to 3 guests sharing, unusual in a reserve of mostly 2-guest suites
- Not listed as a member of the Sabi Sand Wildtuin association
Rates
From R30,150 pppn (2026). 2026 (1 Jan-31 Dec, one flat rate): R30,150 per person sharing across the Luxury Suites and the lodge's separately named suite. No 2027 rate is published. Converted at 1 USD = 17.6 ZAR on 16 September 2026, that is about $1,713. No conservation levy amount is published on the lodge's own site, and Sable Camp, like MalaMala Camp, is not listed as a Sabi Sand Wildtuin member.
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.
