Last-minute pricing for greater KNP 4/5 star safari

Currently planning a trip to SA (or not) for Oct/Nov 2020. I've done this quite often, although the last time was in 2011. I used to pre-book all arrangements except the luxury safari; this, I would book some three weeks in advance of the trip through mtbeds.co.za. I used to be able to reliably get stunning lodges for ZAR 2500 - 3000 p.p./night, all-in, in private park adjacent to KNP.

It looks as if these times are over. In fact, I'm stunned at the five-digit pricing I'm seeing for many lodges now. Can someone on here provide me with a price range for last-minute stays (4 - 5 nights, 4 pax, two rooms) in small luxury lodges adjacent to KNP? I'm thinking I may well be better off doing this in Kenya, which used to be significantly more expensive than SA but apparently that has now changed.
