Overview of Black Rhino Game Lodge

South Africa, Pilanesberg

Set under the tall trees of a tamboti forest and at the foot of an ancient volcanic crater in Pilanesberg National Park, Black Rhino Game Lodge has a wonderful location in one of South Africa’s best malaria-free, Big 5 destinations. Overlooking a busy waterhole which is frequented by a host of animals, your stay at the lodge will not be a disappointing one.

Enjoy guided game drives in the company of your personal game ranger and explore this 58 000ha reserve for the Big 5 and other classic African animals. You can also choose an optional hot-air balloon trip over the Pilanesberg National Park or take a day trip to next-door Sun City, South Africa’s premier entertainment complex, and enjoy its championship golf courses, buzzing casino and the outrageous Valley of the Waves.

    Black Rhino is a really great place for couples looking to get away because most of the rooms are privately situated quite far away from each other. There’s some great nature sightings from The Hide and the main restaurant area also looks out over the watering hole. That being said our stay there was met with a few problems:

    – The pool facing rooms are ridiculous if you haven’t booked out all three for a family / couples. You can see straight into each other’s bedrooms from across the way and can be very awkward if you’re staying across from a complete stranger.
    – The rooms themselves all have different levels of amenities. Some are quite modern but others are old with old big box televisions etc.
    – The Boma area is really nothing special compared to other lodges that have laid them out to look like they’re at least part of the bush. This Boma is right next to the pool area.

    Overall, there are better options in the Black Rhino Reserve or Pilanseberg as a whole but what it lacks in some accommodation it makes up for in great game viewing and friendly guides and staff.

    We were floored by Black Rhino. We felt the facilities and the staff were top notch all the way. Our game driver was very friendly and informative.
