Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge

Wow!!. What an amazing 5 night stay we had at the Stunning resort. Cannot fault anything at all with this resort. Staff,,very friendly. Food,,amazing and tasty. Rooms,,,Great decor and very comfy. Saw the big 5 in one afternoon trip and saw 8 cheetahs. And a pack of wild dogs..thanks to our amazing guide Thulani. The walk into the game reserve was very interesting and a great work out. It was just a pity we could not have stayed longer. Holiday we will always remember.

An outstanding experience , warm friendly attentive staff ( baking a birthday cake and singing at a few hours notice despite a busy mealtime) immaculate clean and bespoke scented linens. Beds make up discreetly daily . Fabulous food , very expert guide . Totally safe exciting safari . Just a five star stay , faultless. Cant wait to return . Totally recommend .Carmel and Sinclair from Northern Ireland

Beautiful lodge with amazing views, fantastic staff and excellent food. Highly recommend a 4x4 or similar to cope with the road into the lodge. We spent 4 nights doing game drives and a walking safari, which we would highly recommend if you're able. All guides are thoroughly knowledgeable and do their best to find the animals. We hope to return one day

What a super place. Staff attentive and friendly. Accommodation beautiful and the food Wes delicious. Highly recommend 😊😊🥂

The Game Drives and Walking Safari were great. We saw all Big 5 and our Guide was very nice. All staff members were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay

Another fabulous stay here. Accommodation, staff and game drives all excellent. Very friendly and great value. A hidden gem.

Absolutely fantastic trip - best life time memories. Our guide Simo was superb an vs we saw all of the big 5 in one day - amazing! Food was great, everything else was perfect!

We were a family & friends group of 13 (from a 1 year old to two 82 year olds and all ages in between) for 3 nights in early March. We all had a fabulous time. The staff were wonderful and could not have been more caring and helpful. The lodge and accommodation were exceptional. The safari experience was terrific. The guides were very knowledgeable making it a great learning experience for the youngest first time safari goers. We would all highly recommend Rhino Ridge to anyone.

I rated 4 as we had a few issues .with getting there and how the manager dealt with the problem. The lodge was very nice, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Our lodge was also perfect and everything you would need. Our safari driver was brilliant, gave us lots of information and did all she could to get us to see everything,patiently waiting in places for lions etc. Also I noticed that we had either 4 or 6 people so not an over crowded transport.which made a big difference to the comfort of the drive. The views from the lodge are amazing and the pool area is very nice to chill in after a morning drive. Food was good and the dining area looked over the game reserve so great location to eat and drink as the sun goes down. Small ******..would be good if bar staff were more on the ball when you want a drink or clearing dirty towels / glasses from the pool etc. Our issue… ..we were driving to Nyalazi gate … the directions we were given were actually great and really easy to follow…except when we actually arrived into the park . You will go over the cattle grid..as per directions and then very soon you will see a sign to the Park…it doesn’t mention the gate name .but turn at that first turning to the park and you will then see that that is the `nyalazi gate …we were told to drive on till we saw an actual sign for the gate name.hence went on a jolly for an hour looking for the gate! We eventually turned round and got back on track. Second issue ..you need a 4x4 the gravel road ..starts from marker 7… for the last 4/5 km moves more to an unmade road with boulders and huge potholes etc and very steep unmade roads, we managed with the saloon but with damaged tyres and chips over the bonnet. I found the Manager attitude unhelpful as he continued to tell me how he tells all guests that a 4x4 is essential but they all ignore him…maybe that should tell him something! highlight that piece of essential information not hide it in tiny print. Coupled with the patronising attitude and that he found the whole thing very funny didn’t help after a 6 hour drive. Other guests that arrived in a saloon car also commented how awful it was to get the lodge and how a 4x4 was essential. Luckily the UNDER Manager ..Ayanda ..on our departure offered to let us out through a different route which was very helpful ,she has a professional and effective manner that you would expect from a manager. And was always helpful when anyone needed anything during the stay. Hope she gets promoted soon!
