We had a 2-night-booking and because s.th. mishappened with another booking, we arrived one day earlier. It was easily handled within minutes during a phonecall and we were in. And what a welcome. Just on our way to the lodge we saw several game near our car. Our first gamedrive that very evening was one of the many highlights and... More

Travelled from Kruger NP and hence had quite a long drive through Swasiland to Rhino River. Just arrived on time for the afternoon GameDrive and were very thankful that our ranger Isaac and the other family staying in Rhino River Lodge waited for us to join the Drive. The landscape is somewhat different to what we have seen in Kruger... More

While a review that's major complaint is that they saw too many animals does not usually warrant a response from management, there is a little misinformation here that we would like to clear up. We too, love the Kruger National Park. The vast wilderness is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The scenery in Zululand is in fact very different from that... More

This place is beyond. From the moment we entered the courtyard from a dusty back road drive through the bush-veld you new instantly this was beyond special. Bush-pigs blazed in front of us as we approached our accommodations, a beautiful straw roofed cottage, immaculately presented and wonderfully furnished...to bad there was no time to stay inside as our time was...

We just had a wonderful stay at the RRL. The location was wonderful, once we passed the gate we found impala's, rhino's, warthhogs, zebra's, so close to us. The rooms were beautiful. The staff was professional. We realy had to eat fast because they were all trained to get our plate back to the kitchen as soon as we pauzed...... More

We love this place. The hospitality is second to none and the staff is very accomodating. The food is wonderful. We have had a great time on both visits. Staff goes out of their way to make sure every guest is taken care of and enjoys themselves. Rhino River is also in a great location with many places to visit... More

It was brilliant to return to Rhino River Lodge again for Easter and to again experience such excellent service, wonderful food and 6 hours of game viewing each day with such knowledgeable game rangers. Nothing like a glass of wine next to the water hole as the sun sinks in the west against the fever trees and the moon rises... More

During our 2 weeks' holidays in South Africa the 4 days stay at Rhino River Lodge was definitely the highlight. We had been at Krueger NP and another private park for several days during another journey to SA, and this time also spent a day at the Addo Elephants Park, and thus have some experience to allow ourselves a judgement...
