VUYANI Rates
Understanding our rates
Rates per person, not per room.
At Vuyani we are dedicated to give you the best value for money possible. We are not the cheapest but if you compare us to anyone else, you will struggle to find a better deal. No hidden charges, no made up fees or taxes on arrival, and all-inclusive means just that. Meals, Drinks, Taxes, Conservation Fees/Charges, and two Safaris per day! (@ 6am and 4pm)
But: Card Charges apply for any MasterCard and Visa Payments on location. (up to 3.7%) ... bummer, but we accept cash, in ZAR, USD, GBP and EUR
