😎 The beaches are open with people few and far between, and it’s not what one would call “winter” weather at all.

Experience our so-called ‘winter’ up north in Zululand.

We know that you’re planning your safari for travel now, next year, or in 10 years time, so here’s something you should know:

The best time to visit Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve is during the drier winter months from May to September.

This is when the vegetation thins out, and animals congregate around water sources, creating some thrilling scenes of predator vs. prey and survival of the fittest.

The colder winter months are also considered the “low season” - with the exception of school holidays.

At Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge, we offer both morning (6 am in summer and 6.30 am in winter) and afternoon (4 pm in summer and 3.30 pm in winter) safari drives which are included in your room rate.

These drives with professional guides are the highlight of every safari. You just never know what’s around the next corner…

🦅 While natural spaces are ever-shrinking, and more wildlife under threat, something as simple as birding is a pleasure, yet all the more sacred as years go by.

Luckily, at Kosi Forest Lodge we’re doing our best to keep this magical place preserved and untouched. That’s why we’re one of the top places in South Africa for birdwatching.

Our local guides at Kosi know all of the ‘secret’ hiding places and ancient trees where you can tick those elusive species off your bucket list.

“If conservation of natural resources goes wrong, nothing else will go right” - M.S. Swaminathan

Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge and Isibindi Africa Trails supports community environmental clubs in the Mpembeni Schools.

In 2018, approximately 150 children were taken in the lodge vehicles for a few hours of guided tours in the game reserve. They were also given talks and interactive learning sessions.

This important initiative encourages the creation of a human fence, where the local community is invested in protecting our wildlife from poaching. A wire fence can be torn down; a human fence cannot.

In addition, there have been a number of days where we have undertaken indigenous tree planting projects at 4 of the local schools.

🥽 Mabibi is regarded as one of the best snorkeling sites in South Africa - just check out these photos!

🐙 The coral reefs along this protected stretch of coastline are home to thousands of species of tropical fish. Our rockpool snorkeling area is home to mostly juvenile fish, but you can see octopus (cue My Octopus Teacher), firefish, moray eels and electric rays too.

🐠 Snorkeling happens in the bay, about 400 metres south of the lodge, and is tide dependent (best at low tide).

🐡 Guests can also experience the thrill of snorkeling in the open ocean on shallow reefs.
