At Rhino River Lodge, the theatre of nature comes to life in vivid, startling colours.  Rhino River Lodge is an intimate and exclusive private game reserve and lodge with some of the best game viewing Zululand has to offer.

Location:  Our Lodge is in Zululand just 27 kilometres north of Hluhluwe and rests in the shadow of the majestic Lebombo mountains.  We are a  private reserve forming part of the greater Zululand Rhino Reserve. The rare and endangered black rhino is found in this park along with lion elephant, buffalo and white rhino. 

Accommodation:  Delightful 2 bedroomed log cabins constructed solely from locally sourced materials await you, iron-stone flooring and high thatched roofs make for a cool interior to the spacious cabins.  Each cabin has it’s own private boma attached for relaxing evenings and private dinners can be arranged.

In addition to these stunning log cabins, there are four luxury en suite double or twin rooms each with  private entrance and  verandah that overlooks the Umsunduze River.

All accommodation has coffee and tea making facilities, bar fridge, Mosquito nets and ceiling fans.

The Lodge:  Join  family or friends for a well-deserved sundowner on the raised deck at the lounge, dining and bar area looking out over the  majestic Sycamore Figs and Fever trees that line the river below, here you can  sink into the sombre, reflective twilight as the sun melts on the horizon.  As darkness falls congregate around the campfire in the boma for a pre-dinner cocktail and swap stories of the African bush with superb company.  These evenings are a magical part of every guest’s experience, taking in the smells of the campfire, the sounds of the African night, and the splendor of an unpolluted starry sky.  During the day you can refresh yourself and enjoy a lovely swim in the sparkling, crystal clear pool  watching  the resident warthog family mosey on the laws of the lodge, or see the timid red duiker make its way shyly across the camp nibbling at tasty tit-bits on the way.
