Verified travelerFabulous bush lodge in a private big 5 reserve
Rhino river lodge is a great place to stay within a private reserve. The enthusiasm of the rangers and their willingness to go that extra mile to find that animal sighting that you are looking for is what makes this…
DianeExcellent

Questions about Rhino River Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Rhino River Lodge?
Check-in is from 1:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Rhino River Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Rhino River Lodge?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Rhino River Lodge have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Rhino River Lodge?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Rhino River Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Rhino River Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Rhino River Lodge?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 1:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Rhino River Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
