10/10 Excellent
"Managed to book rooms for the wrong date and the staff helped us to stay the day earlier than the booking. Also got to see 4 of the big 5 in one afternoon, and see the wallabies win against the springboks. Great experience Prence!"

Black Rhino Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms were very nice, clean and big. The only thing that was off was the toilet being separate from the showers and sink. So you would have to use the bathroom then come out into your room and wash your hands where the shower and sink was located. The staff were GREAT. Especially Gontse and Patricia. Always going the extra mile to help and make things convenient. Nice breakfast buffet with a variety to choose from. They even had chicken sausage for those who don’t eat pork. Megan, our guide for the game drives was excellent. She knew exactly where to go for us to see the animals. We saw all of the Big 5 except 1, which was the leopard. Overall, I love this place and wouldn’t hesitate to go back!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Morokolo. Carel and Caitlyn were exceptional hosts. Carel’s deep knowledge and genuine passion for the wildlife greatly enhanced our game-viewing experience, and he did so in a thoughtful, unobtrusive way. Caitlyn’s organization and responsiveness were outstanding—truly a 10 out of 10. The rest of the staff were equally helpful and welcoming. The lodge was spotless, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals comfortably. "
