Black Rhino Game Lodge

Absolutely amazing stay at Black Rhino. The rooms were fabulous, beds extremely comfortable, food delicious and the game drives were out of this world. Our guide was Dolphie - he made the experience. Extremely knowledgeable and he went out his way to make sure we saw as much as we could. The only negative was that we didn’t stay there longer !! Will definitely return.

Excellent game reserve, great accommodation and food. Staff were amazing and friendly. Saw so many animals. Our game driver and guide, Dolfie was awesome. Highly recomend Dolfie. Very knowledgeable, found all the wild life, was enormous fun and gave us so many memories. Dolfie's a legend and would have anyone else. Black Rhino Lodge is the best.

An unforgettable experience for our whole stay. We booked for a 2 night stay but after only being at the lodge a couple of hours, wished we had planned one more night, or two…..or three…. The food was excellent, breakfast, high tea and dinner was well presented and tasty. The menu choice was varied each day, and in my opinion great value for what we paid. The staff were friendly, helpful and just lovely! Our ranger, Freedom, was excellent!! We had the same ranger for our stay. There were three ranges and each group has a dedicated ranger, which is a nice personal touch. (I am sure all the rangers are the same at this lodge judging from comments from all the groups) The passion, professionalism & responsibility, Freedom has for his role really showed. Freedom’s knowledge and years of experience, led to us enjoying such amazing experiences. I have been on a few safari’s from childhood to adulthood and with only 2 days on this trip have seen and experienced more in what may have taken days to be seen- we must have been really lucky! I could keep going with loads more to positive things to say, and despite a couple of hiccups which was sorted out, in all, we would definitely go back again! Thanks Black Rhino Lodge it was AWESOME!

This was truly an experience to remember! I love seeing wild animals in their habitat without human intervention or interference. We saw the big 5 animals. We had 2 tours a day (3 days total) 5:30 mornings and 5:30 afternoons. We come back from each trip with dancers awaiting and a delicious buffet. This is something you can’t miss while in So. Africa!

We had a lovely 4 night visit to this lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was great and the quantity was just right. The rooms we had were spacious and comfortable. We would definitely go back there.

A client of mine recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at Black Rhino Lodge in December 2024, staying in Lodge #1. What should have been a luxurious and memorable visit turned into a nightmare due to unacceptable room conditions and an alarming lack of response from management. Upon arrival, my clients discovered the room was infested with bugs—crawling everywhere, including in the bed. This level of neglect is simply inexcusable for a property that markets itself as a premium destination. Management attempted to address the issue by recleaning and exterminating the room on the first night, but the problem persisted. To make matters worse, my client experienced the horror of a bug crawling on her while she was in bed. Despite repeated efforts to escalate this issue, including providing detailed documentation such as photos and videos, management has yet to respond or offer any resolution. The complete silence from Black Rhino Lodge's leadership is not only unprofessional but also a blatant disregard for their guests' comfort and well-being. Travelers should be aware of the serious issues at this property. Black Rhino Lodge’s failure to address such a significant complaint leaves much to be desired in terms of guest service and accountability. I cannot recommend this property to anyone until management demonstrates a commitment to maintaining basic standards and addressing legitimate guest concerns promptly and professionally.
