RHINO POST SAFARI LODGE
Kruger Park, South Africa

Introduction

Rhino Post Lodge offers exclusive traversing in 12 000 hectares of pristine bushveld in the only official wilderness concession awarded in the Kruger National Park. Approximately 10km North East (as the hornbill flies) of Skukuza Rest Camp, the concession shares a 15km boundary with Mala Mala in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, with game moving freely between the two reserves. The concession comprises of environmentally sensitive areas previously unexplored, with huge diversity of both fauna and flora - an ideal setting for wilderness & wildlife experience in an internationally renowned big five area.

Camp Description

Set on the banks of the Mutlumuvi Riverbed on the Southern end of the concession, the elegant 8 suite (16 bed) Rhino Post Safari Lodge is built using natural materials of stone, wood, thatch & canvas.

Stilts raise the spaciously appointed suites from the riverbank allowing guests to view the Mutlumuvi riverbed with ease from the bedroom, bathroom and private wooden deck. The suites are set out in an open plan style with wooden floors, thatched roofs, canvas walls and a ceiling fan. Each ensuite bathroom includes a deep, freestanding bath, 'his and hers' basins, a separate toilet, and an outdoor shower protected by thick reed poles. The bathroom floor is attractively decorated with delicate mosaic designs complimenting the contemporary floor.

The dining area set under Tamboti trees, allows for al fresco dinners, cool lunches in the heat of a summer afternoon and snug winter dining, while candlelight riverbed dinners and breakfasts, under the protection of armed guards, are a wonderful, alternative bush experience. Both the swimming pool & lounge overlook an active waterhole in the riverbed. The lounge, with its extensive wine cellar, fireplace and bar provide a perfect setting for an afternoon or evening sundowner.

Game Viewing

A typical day would include an early start, a cup of fresh coffee or tea, after which guests set out on their game drive. Game-drive safaris at Rhino Post are conducted in specially adapted open Landcruisers, with professional guides. Guides at the lodge meet the stringent requirements of the South African National Parks and senior guides hold the highest guiding qualification possible in South Africa to ensure that your encounters with the African wilderness are exciting, informative, and safe. Upon returning to the lodge guests enjoy a leisurely brunch and time to relax around the pool overlooking the waterhole. In the late afternoon after a delicious high tea, you can enjoy an evening game drive, winding down with sundowners, watching an African sunset and spotting nocturnal animals in the park.
