Group-owned (Ulusaba)
Rock Lodge is Ulusaba's cliff-top property in the west-central sector, currently mid-renovation with a full reopening set for April 2027. No nightly rate is published while work continues; the site offers only enquiry links. Ulusaba's own traverse runs to about 13,355 hectares of open bush within Sabi Sand, a figure the group states directly, and the property is unusual among Sabi Sand lodges in running its own private airstrip rather than sharing a neighbour's.

Rates
Rates on request. Rates on request. Rock Lodge is mid-renovation with a phased reopening scheduled for April 2027, and its own site offers only booking and enquiry links rather than a published nightly rate.
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.
