Rhino River Lodge

We had a fabulous stay in a beautiful, comfortable house at the lodge. The staff was exceptional…friendly, helpful, kind, and playful with my grandkids. They even made a gorgeous, surprise birthday cake for the 8 year-old. The lodge was meticulously clean. The food was wonderful. Our safaris were over the top! Ranger Steve could track a mosquito and we saw every single animal we had hoped to see! He taught us so much and even my 5 and 8 year-old grandkids were rapt on each excursion! I highly recommend the Rhino River Lodge!

I wanted to reach out to extend the biggest "THANK YOU" to the entire team at the Rhino River Lodge!||We have all safely returned to our homes on our side, yet messages, emails and social posts are still swirling like mad with the talk of our EPIC SA adventure to the beautiful Manyoni Game Reserve and our stay at the beautiful Rhino River Lodge!||The group thoroughly enjoyed our time on Manyoni and our luxurious stay at the Rhino River Lodge (exactly what we needed after our hectic few days at Tembe Elephant Park). The team was blown away by the beauty of the lodge grounds, the dining area and of the stunning rooms that left us all feeling completely pampered and special.||As mentioned, I did have great feedback from the team about the Rhino River Lodge and our excellent guide Storm!|Comments included, that the team enjoyed the luxury of the lodge and that it felt so wonderful to feel that important (worthy of staying there), that the food was excellent and loved the fact that the vegetarian/ gluten free folks were never forgotten or offered basic meals, and the team loved Storm and her fantastic knowledge of the Reserve as a whole, the ZCT and of the ZRO. She was a great sport, as most of her "fun facts" that she would likely share with lodge guests, were things we already know (being a group of zookeepers). However, her guiding knowledge was excellent and we did come away from our trip learning so much about the KZN, Manyoni, the ZCT and the wildlife that call the reserve home. |Her professionalism was top notch and we felt well looked after and cared for. ||I felt our stay of 6 nights was ideal! The rooms were so lovely and comfortable for our group to share. The dining space to accomodate 10 people was excellent and RRL also offers great amenities on property should we need some time to ourselves - away from the group.||THANK YOU again so much - we have all left a small piece of each of our hearts at the Rhino River Lodge. |Please pass on our deepest gratitude to the teams that are the heartbeat of the Lodge ♥️||Sincerely,||Angie Snowie

We cannot praise Rhino Lodge enough. We had two days that were amazing. All the staff were great but we must say Sam, our guide, was incredible with his knowledge and information. We will hope to come back in the future.

Loved every moment there! Really nice people, working really hard to make your stay unforgetable. The location, animals, food, guides, are just amazing. We were there with a small babygirl, and during the safari’s a really lovely nanny looked after her, it was amazing.

The staff has been super friendly and the game drives were incredible. The planning they have made for every day is perfect. I really loved going up in the morning and waiting for the game drive to start while sitting by the fire with something hot to drink. 11/10 will definitely come back!

Our family loved our Rhino River Lodge experience. Our childrem especially loved all the special care taken of them-activity books for them to fill in with which animals they'd ssen, the child friendly meal options etc. Storm was our guide and she was excellent. She made our experience so wonderful-she was very patient with our kids and answered all their questions so patiently.

Great family friendly Lodge with attentive service. Accommodations are nice for being completely off-grid. We specifically chose this Lodge because it was recommended as good for families with elementary and middle school age children and it did not disappoint. Guides were excellent.

We had initially booked for 3 nights and ended up extending to 4. Everything was absolutely perfect. ||Our guide Sam was amazing and so knowledgeable. His knowledge extended beyond animals and he gave us a plant fact every day. ||We stayed at the homestead and spent every day lounging outside on the deck listening to the birds and watching the animals infront of it. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us and lots of privacy. ||The food was delicious. One of us has a sever gluten intolerance which was superbly catered for. They made home made gluten free bread, muffins, flapjacks, biscuits etc all of which we wanted the recipes for. ||All the staff were very friendly. We would highly recommend Rhino River Lodge to anyone wanting a bush break. ||We can’t wait to go back!
