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.
Easy to position for a short safari from Johannesburg
Pilanesberg is close enough to Johannesburg to work well as a two- or three-night safari, and Black Rhino has enough room variety to handle families or small groups without losing the lodge atmosphere.
