About Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge
Established to protect the previously endangered white rhino now numbering over 1000 in the park, Hluhluwe/ Imfolozi is a triumph of conservation efforts.
Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge is part owned by the local Mpembeni Community and is the result of years of passion and energy to finally bring this uniquely positioned safari experience to the market.
The lodge is ground breaking in being the first private facility within Africa's oldest proclaimed reserve, Hluhluwe/ Imfolozi Park. Offering a great safari experience in the heart of Big 5 territory, Rhino Ridge is a relatively new lodge of contemporary design utilising natural finishes and materials.
All meals are included in your stay. Continental Buffet and hot breakfast available from 07h00 to 11h00, High Tea and delicious dinners
Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge is situated on the western boundary of the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park. The lodge boasts a spa, outdoor swimming pool and restaurant.
Game Drives
Twice daily game drives are conducted to explore the magnificent hills and valleys of the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park. Nothing is predictable in the bush; therefore each safari offers a potentially new and unique experience.

The medicinal uses of plants and local folk lore is also discussed as well as looking for the ever fascinating Big 5!
