The Black Rhino Reserve is a private game reserve on the north western edge of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. The sweet veld vegetation of this lower-lying reserve complements the predominantly mixed sour veld vegetation of the Pilanesberg, a type of habitat known to be home to a diverse range of game species such as elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard.

The reserve has its own private entrance on the reserve’s western side.

The reserve is notable for sightings of the shy and scarce black rhino. The area is a birding paradise, with over 350 recorded bird species.

Tambuti Lodge’s spectacular game drives in open safari vehicles provide incredible photographic opportunities.

Tambuti Lodge is nestled among an extensive, age-old grove of Tambuti trees at the foot of an extinct volcanic crater.

With no expense spared to ensure your comfort, each suite includes a sunken bath, indoor and outdoor showers, and a private deck from which you can enjoy the tranquil surroundings while observing the resident bird- and wildlife.

This elegant Lodge is known for its superb home-cooked cuisine, five-star service, and contemporary Afro-chic décor, while its secluded location ensures an unforgettable African safari experience.
