Group-owned (Singita)
Ebony Lodge sits on the Sand River in the west-central sector, one of three Singita lodges that together traverse about 18,200 hectares, the group's own published figure rather than the reserve's total. Rates for 2026 run from R49,255 per adult sharing in off-peak season to R60,470 in peak, all meals and premium drinks included, along with twice-daily drives and walking safaris. Separate from the room rate, Singita excludes a conservation contribution, a Tourism Levy and a Carbon Offset Levy, without stating an amount for any of the three on its own site.
Why you'd pick it
- Singita's three Sabi Sand lodges share access to about 18,200 hectares (45,000 acres), the group's own published figure
- Off-peak 2026 rates from R49,255 per adult sharing, rising to R60,470 in peak season
- Excludes a conservation contribution, a Tourism Levy and a Carbon Offset Levy, none with a stated amount
Rates
From R49,255 pppn (2026, off-peak). 2026, per adult sharing, VAT included: off-peak (6 Jan-30 Apr, 1 Nov-14 Dec) from R49,255 (Bush Suite/Lewis Suite) to R51,665 (Suite); shoulder (1-31 May, 1 Sep-31 Oct) from R53,695 to R56,310; peak (1 Jun-31 Aug, 15 Dec-5 Jan) from R57,640 to R60,470. The Family Suite (R129,160 to R151,175) and Ebony Villa (R371,180 to R434,270) are whole-unit rates, not per person. Singita's site could not confirm separate 2027 figures; treat the table above as 2026 only. Converted at 1 USD = 17.6 ZAR on 16 September 2026, the cheapest 2026 off-peak rate is about $2,799. Singita excludes a conservation contribution, a Tourism Levy and a Carbon Offset Levy from the rate but states no amount for any of them; based on the room rate this would likely sit in the reserve's top Tier 1 band (about R957 per person per night in 2026).
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.
