The normal rate at the lodge is R6 262/n/room DB&B for 2 persons, we can give it to you for less, around R5 100/room/n.
The self catering timeshare units normally work out far better. I sometimes have 1 bedroom 2/4 sleepers mainly midweeks on special for the midweek.
If you are keen and flexible, mail me with your dates and I'll advise as soon as I get a unit in.

Self catering unit rental rates 2020:

Self catering timeshare units - any dates midweek, not Fr - Fr like normal, but 3 night weekends

I've stayed at these units. They are fantastic and I prefer them to the Bakubung units, mainly because of the 2 levels, the lack of human traffic passing between you and the animals, and the space that is on offer at Kwa in general. What is not supplied is the standard coffee/tea sachels, and of course swimming towels that no one offers in any case. Wi-fi is available, R75 for 500Mb. There are also free activities offered - Stargazing and a Bird & Tree trail - 4 times a week, not weekends though. And then most amazing is the live feed from the waterhole to your chalet TV's - you can make it in 3 minutes max if there is an awesome sighting. You will need to go through a long tunnel, with about 20 steps at the entrance, and a few at the hide.
