Surrounded by free-roaming wildlife and spectacular vistas of the African bush, Rhino Post Safari Lodge offers an immersive hideaway with luxury and tranquillity in the Kruger National Park. The lodge is located on a 12,000-hectare private concession, providing a unique safari experience in an unfenced environment that allows free-roaming animals.
The lodge features eight elegantly designed contemporary suites, each thoughtfully crafted to harmonise modern comfort with the natural surroundings. Large windows and private decks ensure panoramic views of the riverbed and wilderness, inviting guests to connect with nature and spot wildlife from the comfort of their room.
Set against the backdrop of the Greater Kruger’s rich landscapes, Rhino Post Safari Lodge sits in the shade of riverine trees, offering stunning vistas of the bush and opportunities to view wildlife in its natural habitat. The untouched surroundings enhance the sense of tranquillity and adventure, making it an ideal destination for both relaxation and exploration.
Morning and evening safari drives offer opportunities to witness the region’s diverse species, while bird enthusiasts can enjoy specialised birding safaris. Those seeking a unique experience can spend the night under the stars on a sleep-out adventure. The lodge also provides in-room massages for relaxation, and for a touch of variety, golf enthusiasts can explore nearby Skukuza’s golf course.

Take the N12 / N4 highway to Nelspruit. From Nelspruit, take the R40 through White River and onto Hazyview. At Hazyview turn right onto the R536 towards Paul Kruger Gate, Kruger National Park. Once through the gate, drive straight for approximately 12km. You will reach a fourway crossing. Proceed straight across for another 2km until you reach a Tjunction. Turn left at this junction and continue for approximately 1km until you reach another fourway crossing, turn right. You will cross a low water bridge (over Sabi River), approximately 4km later you will cross the Sand River. Keep heading straight, past the dirt road on the left signposted Maroela Loop, 6km further, you will pass another dirt road, also signposted Maroela Loop. Approximately 1km after the second dirt road you will see a dirt road on the left signposted Rhino Walking Safaris. Take this turning and proceed for 2.5km, the road will then turn sharply left, after which you will travel another 2.7km, leading you directly to Rhino Post.
Late Arrivals
After Gate Closing (Self Drive Only): The Kruger National Park has several entrance gates, although Rhino Walking Safari guests are advised to enter through Paul Kruger Gate, as it is the closest to the lodge. Guests must enter the Kruger Gate 45 minutes before closing time to allow sufficient time to drive to Rhino Post. Guests who know in advance that they will be unable to make the gate 45minutes before closing time can arrive as late as 7pm. There will, however, be a surcharge per vehicle for an escort to accompany guests to the lodge. Prior arrangements must be made to ensure there is an escort available.
