This is a great lodge, with excellent rooms, young but well educated and trained guides for game drives, great code of ethics for game drives, and friendly staff. The food is quite nice and the artificial watering hole on the other side of the river bed provides a wonderful view of plenty of wildlife that pass through, especially in the dry season.

I was slightly bothered by the outdoor only shower, since mosquitoes do like to nibble on you in the morning, and I also didn't like the fact that they charged for bottled water. On the other hand, they do have a computer with internet access, which was surprising. In truth, they have room to improve, so they really deserve a 4.5 / 5, but I'd rather reward the effort than knock the failures.

This is definitely a better spot to stay vs. all of the private Sabi Sand properties bordering Kruger. There is no bush-bashing, flash photography, or multi-vehicle congregation around a sighting, which is all the way it should be in the wild.

The only thing is, the sister Rhino Plains Camp is a more authentic experience that focuses on long bush walks as the main way to experience Kruger. If you only have 2 or 3 nights, consider Plains Camp, otherwise, split your stay across both sites.

We saw the Big 5 each time we went out on a drive. The lodges are fantastic with great views from your balcony over the watering hole. We saw rhino, leopard,buffalo without even leaving our own thatched lodge. the food is great- even for me as a vegetarian!
The safair guide was excellent and really knew a lot about the animal and birdlife.
We booked through a company called Imagine Africa and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Everywhere we stayed on our 2 week honeymoon was fantastic and just seemed to get better and better.

We started our African holiday with four days at Rhino Post which was a lodge that had been strongly recommended to us by friends. Well, we couldn't have chosen a better place ! It is the only private concession within Kruger and it's relative isolation away from the bigger and more commercial lodges/resorts works well in its favour. The game viewing is exceptional , even without leaving the lodge. Our first moments on the deck had us looking at rhino, then buffalo, then kudu, then baboon.....all before we had unpacked! In seven game drives, morning and afternoon, we saw (and learnt about ) so many different species of wildlife,birdlife and plants that ' THE BIG FIVE ' seemed only to be the start of our experience. Our hosts Gerrit & Nikki were always happy to share their vast wealth of knowledge with us. Ranger Tim, well, what can I say, other than ...a truck that laughs a lot , sees a lot, you were amazing. Marli & Sharon, you made us feel right at home and are part of the reason we will be back next year....who knows, maybe we will one day exceed Carl and Ally's four return trips. We highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Kruger to include a stay at Rhino Post Safari Lodge.
