About This Property
Black Rhino Game Lodge sits under tall tamboti trees at the foot of an ancient volcanic crater in Pilanesberg National Park, one of South Africa’s best malaria-free Big 5 areas. A busy waterhole sits right in front.
We explore the 58,000-hectare reserve with our own ranger for the Big 5. A balloon flight over the park, or a day at Sun City’s golf, casino and Valley of the Waves, are easy add-ons.
Why We Love It
We love that the restaurant and bar both open onto the viewing deck, so every meal comes with a waterhole view. It’s easy to reach and family-friendly.

Who It's For

Best Time to Visit
Open year-round for Pilanesberg safaris. Dry winter months (roughly May–September) typically concentrate game near waterholes; summer brings afternoon storms and lush bush. Confirm balloon availability by season.
