I had a spectacular stay at the Black Rhino Game Lodge in the beginning of May 2019. The Lodge is situated in a Tamboti forest in a private reserve in Pilanesberg with superb isolated rooms each leading out onto a private patio. My first night at the Lodge was indescribable! Around eight pm on the first evening, lions started roaring in close proximity to our chalet which was situated quite close to the edge of the fence. The roaring echoed a bush brass band which was music to my 'city' ears and continued for most of the night. My first game drive was the next morning at 6 am. Arriving at the lounge where we met for a cup of coffee before departing on our game drive, the rangers already knew about the lion pride that was just outside the camp during the night and soon we were on our way to go and find them. It was a magnificent moment when the first lion came out of the bush crossing the road right in front of the landrover! We were extremely fortunate on our game drives viewing lots of different game and birdlife. Staying at the Black Rhino Game Lodge was indeed a taste of paradise!
