The rooms at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge are absolutely stunning. When you walk in, you are greeted with a breathtaking view of the bushveld through the glass sliding doors. It's like stepping into an authentic African dream. As a nature lover, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting.
Personally, I found the screened deck a little too private. But hey, that's just my opinion.

The friendly and attentive staff at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge made our stay truly exceptional. We were welcomed with a Zulu birthday song and dance, which added a special touch to our experience. The food was delicious and plentiful, with options available throughout the day. The rooms had breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, providing a serene and picturesque atmosphere. Our safari guide, Simo, was incredibly knowledgeable and ensured we saw a wide range of animals during our game drives. The walking safari was also highly recommended. we cannot speak highly enough of Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge.

The location of the lodge is absolutely breathtaking, overlooking the park with spectacular views of the valley. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, offering a large comfy bed, sofa, and a fireplace. The bathrooms are luxurious, with open doors that make you feel connected to the environment. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the stay. The food is of high quality, with delicious meals served at breakfast and dinner. The lodge also offers refillable metal water bottles, promoting sustainability.
The drive to the lodge can be quite long, taking an extra 2 hours than expected, which may cause guests to miss out on certain activities.

We stayed at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge for our anniversary and had an incredible time. The package included game drives, which were well-organized and gave us plenty of opportunities to view wildlife. The staff was fantastic, and we received a warm welcome with a bottle of bubbly. The location was stunning, the accommodation was superb, and the food was outstanding. The Zulu staff provided entertaining evening entertainment that was both impressive and moving. our experience exceeded our expectations, and we hope to return one day.
Can recommend this hotel.

The value for money at this place was incredible, with luxurious bedrooms that rival some of the top luxury game experiences. The location inside the Hluhluwe Imfolozi game reserve was perfect for seeing wildlife, and the staff treated us with friendly smiles and attention to detail.
The breakfast items could have been improved with a wider variety of choices.

As low-budget travelers, we appreciated the value for money at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge. The staff was friendly and well-trained, and the service was efficient. The chalet was beautifully decorated with spectacular views over the valley, and the bathroom was luxurious. The bed was enormous and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The game viewing was interesting, and we were lucky to see 4 of the 'big 5' during our stay. The meals were of gourmet quality, and the high tea and dinner options were particularly excellent. We also enjoyed the luxury shower and reliable hot water. Rhino Ridge provided a once in a lifetime experience without breaking the bank.
Felt fine, nothing too much trouble.

Breathtaking view from terrace, spacious huts with comfortable beds, nice bathroom, and fireplace. Involved surrounding villages, amazing food, friendly, knowledgeable guide. Stunning terrace view, unfenced lodge, wonderfully green park. Highly recommended, would book again.
