Set on a hillside with bushy views to the horizon, Rhino Ridge is the first safari lodge in KwaZulu-Natal's Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, Africa's oldest proclaimed game reserve. A newish lodge, its architecture has clearly been influenced by the vistas, which now incorporate a waterhole that is visited by rhino, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and even the elusive African wild dog. Accommodation and dining are faultless, and the staff, many of whom are part of the community that owns the land and benefits from the revenues, are smilingly dedicated to your comfort.
