Isibindi Africa has announced a December opening for its Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge, located in KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. The lodge will be the only private lodge within the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park, which is recognized as South Africa’s oldest game reserve.
The 22-room lodge was conceptualized to celebrate the protection of the white rhino. Besides conservation, community involvement also plays a critical role in the lodges of Isibindi Africa. The newly constructed Rhino Ridge is part-owned by the local Mpembeni Community.
The lodge will offer a selection of activities, including Big Five game-viewing and guided bush walks. Guests will also have the opportunity to partake in interesting daytrips to the nearby iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
Brett Gehren, owner of Isibindi Africa, says: "Our dream of being able to share the passion we have for protecting the pristine and precious natural wonders of Africa began while sitting on the banks of the Isibindi River in KwaZulu Natal. We are now so proud to be launching our newest venture, Rhino Ridge, which we are developing in light of Hluhluwe Imfolozi's triumph of conservation efforts. We can't wait for guests to experience all that the lodge has to offer, especially the exceptional safari experiences."
