Gather your partner, family and friends and journey to the kingdom of spectacular sunsets and big blue skies. This dramatic setting begs a sophisticated interpretation of authentic luxury. Light, colours and textures play meaningfully between inside and out. Your time is your own, relax in our leisure areas, restore in the spa, warm yourself around the campfire at night or put your feet up in our plentiful chill spaces around the pool on a hot Zululand day. Your journey has begun...

Take a deep breath. Long after you’ve left you’ll remember this view of Africa. The lodge has an elevated sense of peace and tranquility which allows guests to fully decompress. Visionary open-plan architecture and a deck that runs the full length of the main lodge combine strategically with the natural vantage point to create views that take your breath away.

Ridge Safari Lodge is situated on Mpembeni community land that they chose to incorporate into HIP to establish the first five star lodge inside the game reserve. This is a unique joint venture between the community, the park and a private company creating much needed employment and generating revenue for conservation through park fees and levies. One of the aspects that we are most proud of at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge is this shared community ownership of the lodge and our commitment to the empowerment of the local previously disadvantaged community of Hlabisa. In keeping with the Isibindi ethos, Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge is a joint venture between the National Empowerment Fund and the local Mpembeni community who own the land on which the lodge is built. People from the community have been trained to work in various departments and now constitute 97% of the lodge staﬀ.
