Rhino Post Safari Lodge

Top choice in Kruger National Park


The most authentic private bush lodge in southern Kruger, Rhino Post has eight suites constructed from wood, canvas, glass and gabion baskets. Each oozes safari appeal, and you feel part of the tree canopy. Sit on the deck and watch wildlife come and go from the Mutlumuvi riverbed.

The lodge is within the only private concession that is a declared wilderness area, so there are no off-road drives. However, SANParks has allowed the lodge access to 130km of park roads after closing. Inquire about the Rhino Walking Safaris.
