Rhino Post Safari Lodge - Kruger National Park

The Heart of Kruger Park!

Rhino Post Safari Lodge - Kruger National Park

Rhino Post Safari Lodge is named after a rhino rubbing post which we discovered in the area just east of what is now the car park. A resident rhino had used this tree stump to rub up against to such an extent that it had become as smooth and glossy as a lovingly polished piece of furniture.

There are a total of 8 suites, each overlooking the (usually dry) Mutlumuvi riverbed. The river flows only when there is heavy localised rainfall as its catchment is very small with the source only about 30 kilometres from the lodge. When it does flow, it is a sight to behold, but it subsides almost as quickly as it fills up. The longest the river has ever flowed for since the lodge was built is two weeks.

Activities at Rhino Post Safari Lodge are focused on game drives. An early morning game drive typically leaves at about 06h15 after an early tea, and returns between 09h30 and 10h30. The evening drive departs at 16h00 and returns between 19h00 and 20h00, stopping for sundowners at sunset. For morning drives hats and sunscreen are advisable and for evening drives warm jackets (even in summertime, the temperature can drop quite rapidly after sunset).

Rhino Post Safari Lodge - Information

Rhino Post Safari Lodge is named after a rhino rubbing post which we discovered in the area just east of what is now the car park. A resident rhino had used this tree stump to rub up against to such an extent that it had become as smooth and glossy as a lovingly polished piece of furniture. The Mutlumuvi river flows quickly and quietly past the stilted outlines of Rhino Post Safari Lodge's sublime riverside encampment. This lodge incorporates both the style and comfort of contemporary luxury accommodation, with the romance and mystery of the best private wilderness retreat, creating a perfect setting for your luxury getaway into the depths of the Kruger.
Accommodation at Rhino Post has been built to impose a minimum impact on the surrounding environment, cresting the tops of hefty stilts. Luxury suites are finished with living rooms, spectacular views of the nearby riverbed, outdoor shower facilities, and affixed decks. There are a total of 8 suites, each overlooking the (usually dry) Mutlumuvi riverbed. The river flows only when there is heavy localised rainfall as its catchment is very small with the source only about 30 kilometres from the lodge. When it does flow, it is a sight to behold, but it subsides almost as quickly as it fills up. The longest the river has ever flowed for since the lodge was built is two weeks.
Kruger Park plays host to a vast, free roaming array of impressive mammals, including Burchell's zebra, African buffalo, impala, lion, black and white rhino, cheetah, leopard, elephant, and hippopotamus, as well as various reptiles and water creatures, and five hundred and seventeen distinct bird species. Activities at Rhino Post Safari Lodge are focused on game drives. An early morning game drive typically leaves at about 06h15 after an early tea, and returns between 09h30 and 10h30. The evening drive departs at 16h00 and returns between 19h00 and 20h00, stopping for sundowners at sunset. For morning drives hats and sunscreen are advisable and for evening drives warm jackets (even in summertime, the temperature can drop quite rapidly after sunset). Please note that in the interests of sustainable eco- tourism and the preservation of the Kruger National Park NO off road driving is allowed. Drives take place on a combination of tarred and gravel roads. The biodiversity of the Kruger National Park is legendary, and the drives provide the opportunity to experience the changing landscape, learn about trees and some of their medicinal uses and cultural beliefs, birds, insects and reptiles as well as a variety of mammals both nocturnal and diurnal. We love the wilderness and are delighted to share our passion, so please ask our guides questions, they really appreciate the interest shown and the interaction.
Rhino Post Safari Lodge accommodates children of all ages. Children from 0-18 years only are charged child rates, Children of 19 years & over travelling with parents are charged adult rates. Rhino Post Safari Lodge - can accommodate 1 additional child (under 16 years) per room on a stretcher bed for a maximum of 2 rooms.

Rhino Post Safari Lodge - Video

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.

    Rhino Post Reviews

    Rhino Post was the best portion of our trip to South Africa, the camp has a wild and beautiful feel about it. We felt that we were part of the surroundings because the camp had no fences and wildlife wondered through the camp.
