I had a wonderful time at Rhino lodge. I only stayed for 1 day but had 2 game drives and a very warm reception. The game drives were great, the knowledge of the rangers were awesome. The evening was very special, I had gone with a friend from France and the hosts set up a private table with lanterns and... More

This is a great place. So welcoming and well organised, from the moment we arrived we were well looked after. The drives were fascinating and we saw so much. The Lodge is beautiful and relaxing and we spent some lovely hours by the pool. I'd really recommend this, one of the real highlights of my trip.

This lodge is unpretentious and has such character. A weekend away at Rhino River Lodge is just good for the soul. The lodge times everything perfectly, making sure we managed to balance relaxation with great safari activities and delectable meals. An early morning game drives starts things off and the reserve and wildlife are incredible. A hearty breakfasts awaits after... More

The service was amazing and they really went out of their way to be hospitable. We had a monkey invasion in the room as one of the cleaning ladies had forgotten the windows open. They cleaned the room immediately and they gave us a discount when we checked out. The food was excellent. We will definitely return and recommend the... More

A night stay is just not enough! The lodge is just incredible, the people are friendly and down to earth, the game drives are fantastic with knowledgeable game rangers and to top that all off - a romantic candlelit dinner was arranged just for the two of us making this birthday celebration one that we will never forget.

We stayed for one night and booked at Hluluwe the next, what a mistake, wish we'd stayed at RRLodge. All the staff are super friendly and the lodge and grounds are just magic. Saw cheetah, Nyala, rhino, Kudu, Giraffe and a few more. The rooms are 5 star at 3 star prices. Food and drinks top quality. Thanks Shona, Isaac... More

This lodge is a perfect compromise between nature and comfort. Clean, comfortable rooms with all you may expect in the bush. A nice terrace with a view directly into the nature. We had stayed there last year already, and they had added a nice lounge with comfortable sofa, chairs and a little library in the meantime. Food was not luxurious,... More

First time in South Africa - staff were friendly with great knowledge and sense of humour. Rooms were clean food was wonderful. Everything was organised well and we left saying we will definitely return. We went with 10 friends so there was only us there which made it even more perfect.

We just had the most amazing six nights at Rhino river lodge. It was cosy, intimate, friendly and felt like home away from home. This is due to the wonderful staff who take care of everybody so well and befriend all their guests. Shona (lodge manager and organiser extrardinaire), Allison and Isaac (amazing rangers) and all the staff behind the... More
