The staff were all very welcoming. The receptionist Faith gave us a big welcome and guided us to our Chalet where Stuart, the ranger was waiting. He helped us settle in and went through all the COVID protocols with us. Shortly after, we had our fist lunch followed by a fantastic game drive. The food was very good, and the staff paid special attention to our daughter and prepared kid-friendly meals. Jay-D, Jo, Musa, Stuart were all exceptional, we saw lions on each of the drives - spectacular. We will definetely be back! Osten (Zambia), Liz and Tamara (Ireland)

We loved everything!!! The staff were just amazing!!! We actually saw all Big 5 and Cheetas as well as other great animals. Even better, we had the once in a lifetime experience experiencing a lion kill. From the best ranger you could ever ask for Wilmie to staff such as Faith and the grounds manager JD, we just couldn’t ask for a better experience. And oh, the food is amazing.

Everything was wow! Fabulous food, beautiful accommodation and an excellent game ranger. Animals came into the garden of the cottage to drink from the bird bath. Absolutely loved our stay at Rhino River Lodge and cried when we had to leave.

We loved the stay in the two bedroom cottage which is perfectly appointed and really suited us as a couple and another family member. Lovely to have a private pool, although the main pool looked like a good place to relax as well. The staff were great and made sure my birthday was well celebrated. Very good Covid protocols, with dining tables and other guests kept appropriately socially distanced. The environment lends itself to this, in providing a variety of areas in which dining can take place. They also applied an impressive intuitive manner of separating us older folk from a family with a young child. Our ranger Bongani made the safari experience interesting, safe and most enjoyable.

As the overall host Claire was amazing. Extremely friendly staff who all work together as a team to make your stay memorable. Game drive was very good with the ranger Hala who is extremely knowledgeable. Games are included in the price. Catering is very good and we loved the boma evening.

Bongani our game ranger was very informative and got us extremely close to the animals that we encountered.. especially the lions. Jay-D our host was very friendly and kept us well informed of what was available for our stay. Faith gave us a warm welcome to the lodge and all the other staff were friendly and carried out their duties with enthusiasm.

We had a lovely time on the game drives. Our ranger bongani was really knowledgable and taught us a lot of things about animals. We stayed for 2 nights with the 4 included game drives. Even if the resort is unfenced, we felt safe at all times. Highlights of the drives. We saw the common ones: impalas, nyalas, ostriches, birds, wilderbeasts, buffalos, white and black rhinos, zebra, giraffes, hippo. We had the chance to see a male lion, 4 female lionesses on the hunt, 1 female lioness with 3 lions cubs, 2 cheetah hunting and 1 cheetah eating a small impala. Other than that, the staff and service were exemplary. We felt welcome all the time and their politeness is incredible. The meals were excellent.

Staying at Rhino river was a real adventure, we went on a total of 4 game drives with our ranger Bongoni. Bongoni is really skilled when it comes to spotting animals and their tracks, he carries a lot of knowledge for such a young ranger. The breakfast, lunch and dinner where nice and the general staff was very friendly and accessible.
