About This Tour:
Black Rhino Game Lodge is a luxury safari lodge located in a malaria-free private game reserve that lies on the western boundary of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Black Rhino Private Game Reserve has been incorporated into the 58 000-hectare Big 5 game reserve and game roams freely between the two reserves. Access to the private reserve is restricted to the safari operators and paying guests.
The thatched safari lodge lies nestled in a grove of shady Tamboti trees in a quiet corner of Pilanesberg, which was established in an ancient volcanic crater. The protected wildlife region lies in an ecological transition zone; between the dry, arid Kalahari and the lush Lowveld. The unique biosphere supports species from both ecozones.
Each elegant suite is air conditioned, has an ensuite bathroom and outdoor shower and a cozy lounge that leads out onto a patio that overlooks a busy waterhole. The open-plan main lounge, bar and dining area is elegantly decorated and the high thatched ceilings lets in gorgeous natural light.
Enjoy lazy days around one of two plunge pools after you return from the early morning game drive.
Children of all ages welcome at Black Rhino Game Lodge.
