Rates move. The figure above is the cheapest night we found on all.accor.com, reading every night in the window on 22 Sep 2026. The conditions and taxes are under the rate. This lodge sells all-inclusive rates only, meals and game drives included, so the usual room-only award comparison does not apply. The cheapest cash night we found was 984.62 euros on 1 Feb 2027, against 1,385 to 1,438 euros in the June to September migration season.
A Virtuoso property. At most Virtuoso hotels that means a room upgrade if one is available, daily breakfast for two, and early check-in or late check-out if available, plus an extra set by the hotel itself. Here the hotel adds a complimentary night game drive, and no credit. Booked through a Virtuoso advisor, the rate is normally the same as booking direct, and the perks come on top.
