Set on the main drive to the four star hotel, Rhino Lodge is within easy access of the 600 acre wildlife park. After a day exploring the Reserve in your personal golf buggy and getting back to nature, you can relax in your secluded garden, watching black rhino and red lechwe in their adjoining paddocks, against a backdrop of far reaching coastal views
​
Exclusive Access​
You’ll have your very own golf buggy for the duration of your stay, so you can explore the Reserve in style and you’ll even enjoy access to the Reserve before the visitors arrive and after the park closes in the evening, offering the opportunity to see the animals in a completely different light.
​
Or after a day spent exploring the reserve in your personal golf buggy, why not relax at the Treehouse Clubhouse and enjoy the roaring indoor fire in the winter, or bask in the afternoon sun on the lawns in the summer. You can enjoy a drink from the well-stocked bar as you chat to your fellow guests and our rangers, or play games and enjoy the warmth of the outdoor fire pits as you toast marshmallows and watch the sun set over the rhino paddocks.
