8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (26 reviews)
"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do. Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs. I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."

Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge

Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Staff members were full of hospitality, the main area is spectacular and cozy. Three hours driving tour through the game reserve was fun, but since there are two driving tours per day, it’d be nicer if there are shorter hours options well because three hours driving can get tiring."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Machibini?
The best time to visit Machibini is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.

During these months, the weather is generally cooler and drier, with less humidity and fewer mosquitoes, making it more comfortable for outdoor activities like wildlife viewing and exploring the local landscape. The clear skies also offer excellent opportunities for photography. Many travellers prefer this period for its comfortable climate and the ease of spotting wildlife around waterholes as they become scarcer.

For those interested in birdwatching, the wet season, from October to April, also offers unique advantages. While there might be more rain and humidity, this is when migratory birds arrive, and the landscape is lush and green. It's a great time to see newborn animals.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
