Rhino Post SAfari Lodge offers an unforgettable African safari experience. The private concession borders Mala Mala and Sabi Sands Private Game Reserves and allows the unrestricted passage for a variety of animals and wildlife to wander through, creating moments of wonder, providing an exclusive opportunity to get close to nature on nature’s terms.
Rhino Post offers the best of both worlds, with the enormity and diversity of the Kruger and the exclusivity of an eight suite lodge on a private concession in a game-rich area.

Rhino Post SAfari Lodge has been offering a chic alternative to a traditional Kruger safari holiday since 2003, and what a fabulous time it has been! We have been nominated for and received various awards and developed a following of regular guests and friends that we look forward to seeing every year. Visitors to our lodge are often surprised and charmed by the uniqueness that is Rhino Post – we are not a standard Kruger Park nor a trendy private lodge experience. Our guests love us and keep us busy with referrals and repeat visits. It’s these guests that know we are different and value the reasons why.

The safari game drives utilise the vast network of roads in the park as we explore the incredible biodiversity that makes Kruger a world icon. We are privileged to continue after dark when the self-drive tourists are required to return to their camps, allowing our guests the opportunity to experience the magic of Kruger at night. We are proud of the fact that we do not drive off-road – both out of respect for nature, thus ensuring its long-term sustainability but because in the Kruger Park, it’s just not necessary. The animals often take advantage of the smooth tarred roads along the most popular routes, allowing us to see more game in the winter months because the roads are not only warm but close to rivers and water sources.

This ecologically friendly lodge is a mere 30 minutes’ drive from Skukuza Airport. The concession shares a boundary with Mala Mala private game reserve, allowing animals to move freely between the two game reserves.
With eight thatched, canvas and wood suites on stilts overlooking a dry riverbed, Rhino Post SAfari Lodge is the perfect destination for those who wish to experience the Kruger Park in style, without diminishing the wilderness ambience. The lodge overlooks the perennially dry Mutlumuvi riverbed. With wooden decks built around a forest of riverine trees, shade is plentiful. Raised wooden walkways link eight thatched suites each offering their own outdoor shower and private deck.

Each suite accommodates two persons, with four of the suites allowing either a super king or twin beds configuration, and four with twin bed configurations.

Yet again proving that each touchpoint at Rhino Post SAfari Lodge is designed to make you fall in love with us.

Watching elephants from the lodge deck
Rhino Post SAfari Lodge is named after a rhino rubbing post discovered in the area just east of what is now the car park. A resident rhino rubbed up against a wooden post to such an extent that it became as smooth and glossy as a lovingly polished piece of furniture.
Rhino Post SAfari Lodge is not just a beautiful and contemporary designed lodge built from canvas, wood and glass – but it blends into the natural surrounds of the Kruger Park without the distraction of sculpted gardens and fences. The ambience is relaxed and friendly, allowing you to enjoy, indulge, and experience what brings so many people to South Africa and calls so many people back as you encounter the wildlife, the people, the Big Five and wide-open skies of the Kruger.
For the more adventurous guests, walking safaris are offered through Rhino Walking SAfaris, allowing you to immerse your senses in a hands-on experience as you accompany our highly qualified trail guides on a walk through the Kruger Park. For the guests looking for an experience not soon forgotten, you can book an optional night sleeping under the stars at the Sleep-Out Decks. Specially built platforms overlook the Xiteveteve waterhole and offer a unique opportunity to sleep under the stars. Each deck accommodates two people, and this activity must be pre-booked.

Come and be especially close to the African Spirit here. The Lodge is easily accessible, yet one enters an entirely different world once within the camp. Life slows down to the rhythms of nature and the rising and setting of the sun dictates our movements ...

Remember the old-style safari and sleeping under canvas? Well there truly is nothing like it! The sounds of the night are closer, the smells are stronger, and the feeling of actually being in the bush is so much more intense ...
