Rhino River Lodge
A
ONE-OF-A-KIND PRIVATE AND INTIMATE SAFARI
The
lodge grounds sprawl through an area of thick riverine vegetation, rich with
bird and animal life, and filled with magnificent fig and fever trees. The
grounds also include a reception with curio shop, dining room with bar, WIFI,
lounge, and swimming pool.
Rhino
River Lodge offers three types of accommodation to suit our guests’ various
needs. Guests can choose from double en-suite luxury rooms, family chalets or
one of our two-bedroom private safari homes (the Cottage and the Homestead).
The camp accommodates a maximum of 24 people at any time. All accommodation
types feature air-conditioning, ceiling fans, private verandahs, mosquito nets,
coffee and tea making facilities, and a fully-stocked minibar.
In
2004, 17 private properties in the northern Zululand area dropped their fences
forming what is today known as Manyoni Private Game Reserve (formerly Zululand
Rhino Reserve). The impetus for forming the reserve was to provide a home to a
population of black rhinos as part of the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion
Project. The joining of the properties created a 23,000 hectare private game
reserve in the heart of Zululand, in one of the most animal-rich and
species-diverse areas of South Africa.
In
addition to the black rhinos, the reserve is now home to all of the Big 5
(rhinos, elephants, buffalo, leopard and lion) and has seen the re-introduction
of two endangered carnivore species, cheetahs and African wild dogs. We have
become one of the premier wildlife-viewing destinations in Kwa-Zulu Natal and
feature beautiful varied landscapes from acacia thornveld to open savannah to riverine
forest. Game drives on the reserve are regulated by the reserve and coordinated
by the ecotourism businesses to minimize the impact on the environment and the
stress on the animals and to provide guests a better and more intimate game
viewing experience.
