The stay was excellent! All the staff were concerned about our well-being, always smiling and asking if they could help with anything. The food was excellent every day; we thought we would be hungry between meals due to the lack of lunch (since brunch is served), but on the contrary, everything was very well served, and often we weren't even hungry by the next meal. The game guide (Mario) was very attentive, trying to find the Big Five and explaining the animals we encountered. It was an incredible experience, and we felt extremely well taken care of. The room is super confortable.

We had a wonderful time at Black Rhino Lodge. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel even better than at home. The food was delicious—far beyond our expectations. They’ve recently introduced a complimentary drink for the afternoon game drives, and we highly recommend trying the Black Rhino beer! Thank you to the entire team and to our guide, who did their very best to help us find as many animals as possible!

My stay was lovely and I was really happy with the drives. Everything could have been perfect but I discovered afterward that their customer service is BAD: I had booked transportation back to Pretoria via the Lodge but cancelled the return. They told me they would refund me but after one month I have still not received anything. Reached out to guest management who has been extremely slow to respond and even after several messages, they simply say that the problem comes from their bank... but no refund yet, no timeline, no support...They still owe me 4800ZAR/230EUR/270USD. When I pay for a " luxury stay", I expect the customer service to be responsive, proactive and prompt to solve issues at every level.

Lovely accommodation, with client centric service. Check in was seamless and quick. The food is lovely and the kitchen is able to satisfy special needs. The pre game ride breakfast and afternoon tea are exactly what is needed a mixture of savoury and sweet. (Especially the late afternoon tee.) The room are large and well appointed. The twice daily game rides are stunning. A special word of thanks to our Ranger Freedom. You shared your wonderful knowledge with us with generosity , thank you. You never gave up in your quest to ensure that we were able to see the animals we longed to see. We are very appreciative and a big thank you . Blackrhino is definitely worth a visit.

I had a fantastic stay at Black Rhino Game Lodge! The lodge itself is beautiful, with super friendly and helpful staff. The food was very good—fresh, tasty, and well presented. Everything was well organized from start to finish. The game drives were a highlight. The safari trucks are modern and comfortable, and our ranger, Steon, was excellent—very knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife. We saw so many animals, it truly exceeded expectations. An extra bonus was that my friends were staying at Umoya during the same days. Thanks to great coordination between the two lodges, we were able to have dinners together and even joined a few game drives as a group. Huge thanks to both teams for making that possible! Special shout-out to ranger Steon from Black Rhino and Mrassie from Umoya—you both gave us an unforgettable time. Big up to the collaboration between Black Rhino and Umoya Lodges!

What an experience, didn't realise it can be 3 hour journey from Tampo Johannesburg Intl airport. Staff greeted us on arrival and was ready for us to start our first safari but just arrived we opted for the morning. Was shown our lodge absolutely stunning great design two showers one inside and the other outside. Secluded so there was privacy but not to my travelling companion's taste but I thought it was great. All the necessary amenities complimentary toiletries, 2 wash basin and shower. Tea and coffee making facilities with complimentary biscuits. A personalised welcoming note was in the room to greet us. Rooms were cleaned daily and beds turned down at nights. TV was able to log into YouTube. Food, meals were cooked and presented to a high standard. Breakfast was lovely, great selection of continental and cooked breakfast of your choice. Dinner given a choice a starter, main and desert. Compliments to the chef, the cooked oxtail was beautifully cooked soft and tender. Brunch was great so much choice. First day met by monkeys were warned to ensure rooms are locked and belongings were not left unattended and kept secure. They were a pleasure to behold a pleasant highlight of the holiday. A buffet dinner was served on our final evening. The staff are wonderful and treated us well, very well 👏. They were helpful and always willing to assist in any way. Safari, 2 safari and day 6am and 4pm. Due to season it was freezing must layer up thin fleece blankets were provided it was cold 1 - minus 3 degrees. Safari is charged 250 random per night, but we'll worth it..First morning saw a cheetah in the distance, elephant, giraffe, impaler, warthog. Second day a herd of elephants, rhinos buffalo's and just a were heading back to the lodge there it was a lion...oh wonderful was that 👌 On the safari we would always stop have toilet break and offered refreshments. All the safaris was well organised and felt safe at all times. Bucket list ticked, absolutely brilliant from start to finish 👏 The standard of accommodation and hospitality was on another level. Wow...wow...wow.. would highly recommended. You done South Africa 🇿🇦 proud 👏

The staff was fantastic from start to finish, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay accommodation was beautiful, the watering hole brought a range of animals to watch. Our guide Freedom was Brilliant, he was fun engaging and very knowledgable nothing was too much for him along with special shout outs to the chef the food was amazing! Karabo and Kopano was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, I don’t know how we will ever top this stay, it was a once in a life time holiday thanks to everyone!

Awesome, and then more awesome! Two safaris, one afternoon, the other at dawn both with Eric, who was superb and has eyesight better than a Golden Eagle! Saw everything, including giraffe, elephant, zebra, warthog, hippo, rhino, lion to list but a few but best of all - leopard! The fact that the lodges were superb and the food - the ostrich fillet was cooked to perfection - added to the most perfect two days that I have experienced all most ever - and I have seen a few! I cannot rate this place too highly for the game, wardens, food and overall service, if you have the opportunity - GO
