Rhino Ridge, part of the Isibindi Africa Lodges group, describes itself as the first private facility built within Africa's oldest proclaimed reserve, on a ridge overlooking a waterhole with a bold, contemporary design contrasting with the older public rest camps nearby.
What sets it apart
The first private lodge built inside Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, rather than adjacent to it.
Who it suits
Travellers wanting a private, all-inclusive lodge stay inside this specific historic reserve.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
