The stay

A flexible Pilanesberg safari lodge

Black Rhino combines a substantial room inventory with the more private feel of a lodge on the western side of the Pilanesberg wilderness. Standard suites work for couples and families, while four Luxury Suites add a private hot tub or plunge pool.

How Black Rhino fits a trip

Pilanesberg is close enough to Johannesburg to work as a two- or three-night safari, and with 23 suites Black Rhino can take a family or small group without losing a lodge atmosphere. Children aged four and five are accepted on request, with child-friendly safari options. Spurwing can arrange the private road transfer from Johannesburg and combine the stay with Sun City.
