About Rhino River Homestead

Rhino River Homestead offers Hluhluwe accommodation on a privately-owned game reserve with some of the best game viewing Zululand has to offer. Watch as the theatre of nature comes to life in vivid, startling colour. Scout white rhino and elephant, glimpse the reclusive black rhino slipping through the riverine bush; hear the prowling leopard's rasping nigh-time cough; delight in the sheer variety of gentle antelope; be dazzled by the herds of zebra; look up at the ever-curious giraffe.

Each bedroom is furnished with a King-size bed and has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bathtub, basin, toilet and an outdoor shower.

This modern-styled home was designed to highlight the natural surroundings. The Homestead is equipped with air conditioning and a fully functional open plan kitchen. Stacking doors in the spacious lounge fully open onto a private deck at the edge of the camp‘s boundary with un-touched bushveld views.

Lodge Facilities

The lodge grounds sprawl through an area of thick riverine vegetation, rich with bird and animal life, and filled with magnificent fig and fever trees. The grounds also include a reception with curio shop, dining room with bar, Wi-Fi, lounge, and swimming pool.

Activities

In order to maximise our guest's chances of fulfilling their African safari wishes, the accommodation package includes morning and afternoon drives. Night drives and guided walks are arranged on request.

Our morning drives leave soon after sunrise in order to try and catch the animals whilst they are still active before the heat of the day sets in. The drives are generally two-and-a-half hours long, interrupted only by a hot beverage and biscuits at a scenic point before returning to camp for a full cooked breakfast.

The afternoon drive leaves once the day starts to cool down and the animals are active again. This is usually when the bigger animals are found close to water or mud wallows. As the sun begins to set, a complimentary drink is served before making our way back to camp and pre-dinner drinks around the boma fire.

Night drives depart after an early supper and are about 2 hours long. This is when Africa's more secretive creatures are about. Common sightings include porcupine, small spotted genet, aardvark, white tailed mongoose, bush babys, night jars and owls and on the rare occasion hyena, leopard or honey badger can be spotted.

Our guided walks offer the more adventurous an opportunity to experience the wilds of Africa in the best possible way, on foot! A guided walk entails an interpretive bush experience as close to nature as possible. In the interests of safety the group size is limited to 6 people. Walks are undertaken either in the early morning or late afternoon and are between 2 and 3 hours long. Walking affords the unique opportunity of exploring paths that have been traversed by wild animals for centuries, and being exposed to all the smells and sounds of the bush which are not noticed when travelling by vehicle.
