Safari
The Black Rhino Reserve is a private game reserve incorporated into the Pilanesberg Game Reserve on the North Western side. This lower-lying reserve’s sweet veld vegetation complements the Pilanesberg’s predominantly mixed sour veld. This type of habitat is known to carry a wide variety of game species including elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. The reserve has its own private entrance on the Western side of the reserve.
The reserve is characterised by huge numbers of Tambuti trees and we have occasional sightings of the shy and scarce black rhino. There are over 350 recorded bird species, thus making the area a birding paradise.
Climb on board, relax & take in the beauty around you. Tambuti Lodge offers spectacular game drives in open safari vehicles which allows for amazing photographic opportunities.
Tambuti Lodge’s magnificent landscapes are host to a wide variety of game species. Our professional guides have extensive knowledge on the fauna and flora and guests can anticipate some incredible encounters.
Sit back and enjoy the drive, we promise you will have a wonderful experience!
View Africa’s most impressive wildlife, including the renowned Big 5, on their morning and afternoon game drives in an open 4-wheel drive safari vehicle with their expert guides.
