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 the 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 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.
On a 12,000ha private concession in the southern part of the Kruger National Park, Rhino Post Safari Lodge was designed and built to have minimal impact on its environment. In keeping with modern environmental trends, there are few permanent structures built with all-natural materials, connected by raised walkways and illuminated by low-energy lighting. With a limited number of Suites, guests are assured privacy and exclusivity.
Game-viewing in a private concession inside the Kruger National Park is truly spectacular. Game drives and bird-watching expeditions in open vehicles bring guests face-to-face with Africa’s most revered residents. The Big 5 – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo – roam the reserve, along with an array of antelope, bird species and large game.
Each luxury suite is exquisitely decorated and includes a bedroom and lounge. Wildlife wandering the lodge grounds can be viewed from your private patio deck, and even your bathroom or outdoor shower, which overlook the riverbed. Indulge in delectable cuisine beneath the tamboti trees while the lodge's convivial lounge, with its extensive wine cellar, cosy fireplace and bar, is the perfect spot for a sundowner.
