Rhino Post Safari Lodge

Staff were exceptional

Nothing

We spent three days at Rhino Post Safari Lodge and we enjoyed our stay from the first to the last minute very much. It is a small lodge (10 tent houses) and as soon as you arrive you are already part of a super friendly family. Our guide Mareike was excellent. Getting up at 5.00 in the morning is a bit hard at the beginning but Mareike welcomed us with hot muffins and we were ready for great gamedrives. Although the tent houses might soon need a fresh up / face lift the whole team, the food and the hospitality were excellent. Special thanks also to Crystal for a great afternoon at the terrasse. Thanks a lot, you made our stay in Kruger exceptional. Hope to be back soon

Soon there should be a facelift of the houses/tents.

Very friendly and heloful staff. Very knowledgeable , friendly and welcoming safari guide( Amend). He made our safari trips very enjoyable Quality of food was very good Great to see lots of elephants at the water hole from the lodge decking

No wifi capability in the bedroom. We were surprised that our safari guide did not have the capability of 2 way radio contact with other safari vehicles, which would have helped him in locating the animals and therefore enhanced the safari experience We were also surprised that having already provided passport details etc by email, that on arrival when completing the indemnity forms that we still needed to fill all those details in again ourselves Nice to be offered a complimentary welcome drink of iced tea but an alternative cloice - e.g a fruit juice would have been nice

When we include a safari trip in our South African itinerary, we usually stay one night in Kruger and one night in a private game reserve. For us, this is the ideal combination : Kruger always allows us to see a broad range of animals, while a lodge in a private game reserve will usually focus on specific animals (such as 'the big 5...). In our opinion, this is a great combination for a safari trip. This year, we choose Rhino Post in Kruger and Elephant Plains in Sabi Sand. RP delivered exactly what we were hoping for : James took us on an afternoon and morning game drive and we saw lots of animals including a family of around 10 lions, a sable antilope (very rare), a secretary bird and many many others.... RP had 2 vehicles (with around 8 to 10 people each) - no tracker, but James and his colleague in the other car were keeping each other posted on sightings. We were very happy with the game drives... The lodge itself is truly great as well : what was new for us, was the experience of staying in an open camp. Upon arrival, we went to our room and saw 2 elephants right in front of our terrace. So cool, so amazing.... the next morning a herd of elephants was passing through the dry river bedding as well. Fantastic ! Food was very good - a bit more gastronomic even then other lodges we stayed at. Rooms were very very comfortable and cozy as well. All in all, a great experience and totally recommended !

Welcome drink was charged to our bill and checkout took too long (everything we consumed needed to be typed line per line on our invoice, while we were waiting....and we were in a hurry).

Game viewings were good and we saw a lot. Good food and lots of it. Organised and well planned. Nice bedrooms with luxury and also more rustic in nature. Good location.

Great and unique experience! Fantastic location Right in a private spot in the Kruger park, with dedicated services and great food. 2 games per day are perfect to fulfill the day.

Games a bit short
