Staff members were full of hospitality, the main area is spectacular and cozy. Three hours driving tour through the game reserve was fun, but since there are two driving tours per day, it’d be nicer if there are shorter hours options well because three hours driving can get tiring.

Wir hatten eine unglaublich schöne Villa zum verweilen. Die Qualität und die Präsentation der Speisen waren jedes Mal sehr sehr positiv. Die Game Drives waren sehr gut und wir haben sehr viele unterschiedliche Tiere gesehen (Leopard, Geparden, Rhinos, Elefanten, Giraffen, usw..) Alle wurden von Senzo super erklärt. Im Nachgang würden wir noch die ein oder andere Nacht hier länger verbringen..

Die Lodge befindet sich in einer sehr schönen Lage. Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich und ausgezeichnet. Frühstück, Mittag- und Abendessen kann man aus verschiedenen Gerichten auswählen. Die Qualität und die Präsentation ist sehr gut. Getränke sind aber extra zu bezahlen. Am frühen Morgen und am Nachmittag werden Game Drives durchgeführt. Diese werden meines Erachtens nach relativ planlos durchgeführt und oft wurden sehr lange Wege mit 40 - 50 km/h gefahren, ohne das es eine Information gab, Überhaupt war unser Ranger mehr Fahrer als Guide und hat eher selten Erklärungen gegeben. Trotzdem haben wir alles in Allem viele Tiere gesehen. Die Rhinodichte in diesem Gebiet ist schon beeindruckend. Aber auch Löwen, Elefanten, Büffel und einmal sogar drei Geparden haben wir gesehen. Daneben natürlich auch Impalas, Inyalas, Gnus, Giraffen und Zebras. Für einen Aufenthalt sind drei Nächte empfehlenswert.

Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Das Personal war grösstenteils freundlich und aufmerksam, einzelne Ausnahmen ausgenommen. Das Essen schmeckte ausgezeichnet. Einziger Kritikpunkt: der Guide bei den Game Drives wirkte etwas lustlos und nicht besonders motiviert, was insbesondere auch deshalb Schade war, weil die Game Drives einer der Hauptaspekte eines Aufenthalts in der Rhino Ridge Lodge sind.

Wunderschöne Lodge

Wunderschöne Lodge. Sehr gemütliches Haupthaus mit toller Sicht. Daneben die einzelnen Gebäude mit den sehr schön eingerichteten Zimmern. Sehr aufmerksames Personal. Tolle Safari morgens und abends je 3 Stunden mit tollem Guide, wir haben viel gesehen. 3 sehr gute Mahlzeiten am Tag, auf der Safari gab es auch noch einen Snack. Optional kann man Bushwalk, Spa, Besuch eines Nachbardorfes machen, hatten wir gar nicht genug Zeit für alles was es gäbe.

Bien mais pas aux normes de sécurité

Établissement très agréable situé en plein cœur du parc. L’espace commun est agréable avec une vue exceptionnelle. Les chambres villas sont très confortables avec aussi une superbes vues. Le staff de l’hôtel s’occupe globalement bien des invités. Cependant nous n’avons pas eu de chance car il y a eu le feu le lendemain de notre arrivé. Nous avons du aider à éteindre les différents foyer des l’incendies et évacuer la chambre. L’hôtel ne dispose que de bassine et de petits sceaux en cas d’incendie (pas de lance à eau par exemple). C’est un gros point noir car en cas d’incendie plus important cela peut tourner mal. Une fois fini et une demi journée de perdu la direction n’a fait aucun geste commercial. Un couple de sud africain a demander à ce que nous soyons au moins tous changer de chambre car les chambres étaient enfumés. De plus tous nos vêtements sentent le brûle.

Excellent lodge . The Park is spectacular . We were not crazy about the game ranger - very sexist and opinionated - SIMO was his name - we also got into a situation with a bull elephant and frankly handled it badly. The spa treatments were excellent . The food quality and quantity was very good indeed . Would recommend and if you get Simo as a guide just ask for a change in game ranger and it will then be a highly rated experience .

Hôtel au top et royaume des rhinos

Très belle hotêllerie et restaurant de très bon niveau. Service au top comme souvent en AFS. Coté safari, moins bon que dans certaines réserves du Kruger. Pas de tracker et l'on siut la route. Les animaux sont trouvés plus par hasard qu'ils ne sont "pistés". Très peu de félins. Par contre, c'est le royaume des rhinos !!!

Prachtige villa’s , schitterend gelegen. Super schoon. Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt en lunch perfect. Mooie game drives. Alleen het diner viel wat tegen voor deze 5 sterren locatie. Alle gerechten zijn al ruim van te voren bereid en op borden gedaan. Soms gedeeltelijk koud, groentes smakeloos. Wordt ook razendsnel na elkaar opgediend, binnen een half uur kun je uitgegeten zijn. Jammer.

Der Aufenthalt war toll! Das Essen war super lecker und wir haben viel gesehen und gelernt über Tiere, Pflanzen und Natur. Unser Ranger Sibo hat sich so viel Mühe gegeben und es ganz toll gemacht. Er kennt sich super aus und weiß wo er hinfahren muss und wie man Spuren liest. Er hat wirklich Adleraugen! Andere Reisende mit anderen Ranger hatten wohl weniger Glück und haben nur ganz wenig gesehen. Was uns nicht so gefallen hat war, dass wir dass das Mittagessen gemeinsam mit den anderen Reisenden an einem großen Tisch eingenommen werden musste. Hat etwas von Zeltlagerathmosphäre.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent. The room and views superb. The morning and evening game drives included in the room price made this the best safari lodge we have ever stayed in. We will return.
