Restaurants

Dining at the Rhino River Lodge

Meals at the Rhino River Lodge in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, are served in the dining room, or weather permitting, in the magnificent open-air “boma” around the camp fire.

One of the most enjoyable and unforgettable experiences of the bush experience at the Rhino River Lodge is eating outdoors under the star studded African sky.

Local chefs prepare delicious cuisine with an emphasis on South African specialties and local ingredients. Focus is on nourishing home-style meals with a unique South African twist. Although the Rhino River Lodge does serve a set three-course menu, the kitchen accommodates any special dietary needs. The bar features a hand-picked selection of South African wines and beers for guests to enjoy.

Activities, Sports & Leisure

Game drives

Included in a stay at the Rhino River Lodge, which nestles in the Zululand Rhino Reserve are the unique opportunity to participate in two game drives daily, one departing in the early morning and one departing in the afternoon.

Exact departure times vary depending upon the time of year and the weather and will be coordinated with the professional game ranger.  The game drives are conducted on the open-air safari vehicles and lead by an experienced and knowledgeable game ranger.

Safaris provide close encounters in the Zululand Rhino Reserve in search of the many animals, birds and wildlife that can be found in this part of southern Africa.   The adventurous game drives take a break at a picturesque spot, with coffee and tea in the morning and sundowners in the afternoon.

Walking Safaris

Guests staying at the Rhino River Lodge may enjoy the bush trail which is an interpretative guided walk with an experienced game ranger and a small group of guests.

These safari trails provide one of the best ways to experience the African bush and for many guests, this is an absolute highlight of an African travel experience.  Guided bush walks are available in the early morning or late afternoon and take about 2 - 3 hours. In the interest of safety, the group is limited to six persons and all guests must be age 16 or older.
