Group-owned (Singita)
Boulders Lodge sits by the river in the west-central sector, the third of Singita's three Sabi Sand properties sharing the group's own traversing figure of about 18,200 hectares. Its published rates match Ebony Lodge's confirmed 2026 table, from R49,255 per adult sharing off-peak to R60,470 in peak season, though the page we captured them from was headed 2027, so the exact year needs confirming before you book. All meals, premium drinks, twice-daily drives and transfers from the Singita airstrip are included; a conservation contribution and two further levies are excluded without a stated amount.

Rates at Singita Boulders Lodge
From R49,255 pppn (off-peak). The table we could retrieve for Boulders was headed 2027 and carries figures identical to Ebony Lodge's confirmed 2026 table, so treat the year label with caution and re-verify before quoting a specific year. Per adult sharing, VAT included: off-peak from R49,255 (Bush Suite) to R51,665 (River Suite); shoulder from R53,695 to R56,310; peak from R57,640 to R60,470. Family Suites (R129,160 to R151,175) are whole-unit rates, not per person. Converted at 1 USD = 16.35 ZAR on 23 September 2026, the cheapest confirmed rate is about $3,013. Singita excludes a conservation contribution, a Tourism Levy and a Carbon Offset Levy, none with a stated amount.
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 Singita Boulders Lodge
Is Boulders Lodge good for families?
Mostly for families with older children. Singita's own site says children aged 10 and over are generally welcome at Boulders Lodge, and younger children can only stay in the two Family Suites, which have a heated plunge pool and sleep up to 2 adults and 2 children. Bush walks need guests to be 16 or over.
What does the rate at Boulders Lodge include?
Boulders Lodge runs the same 2026 table as Ebony Lodge, from R49,255 per adult sharing off-peak to R60,470 in peak season. The rate covers meals and premium beverages, twice-daily game drives, walking safaris, return transfers from Singita Airstrip and laundry, but excludes a Tourism Levy and a Carbon Offset Levy, with no amount published for either.
Can you self-drive to Boulders Lodge?
Sabi Sand is a private reserve, so there is no self-drive route around it, only to your own booked lodge. Most guests fly into Singita Airstrip, about 10 minutes from Boulders Lodge, with a return road transfer included. Check-in is from 13:00 and check-out by 11:00, the only one of Singita's three lodges to publish fixed times.
Is Boulders Lodge good for a honeymoon?
Yes. Every suite at Boulders Lodge has a private plunge pool and a deck built to echo the curves of the river, with the lodge's architecture set directly among the Sand River's original boulders. There's no suite named for honeymooners specifically, and the wifi is complimentary but can be slow and intermittent.
