The Luxury Villa offers an elegant and spacious retreat, accommodating up to 10 guests across five beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The rooms feature a combination of single and king-size beds, providing flexibility and comfort for families or groups.

Modern conveniences include air-conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a TV with DStv, and a safe. The fully equipped kitchen comes complete with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher, tumble dryer, and a two-plate stove, along with coffee and tea facilities.

Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor dining areas, a patio with comfortable outdoor furniture, and braai facilities, all within a non-smoking environment that blends luxury with relaxed living.

Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives as your ranger shows you the big and small species of the African bushveld. Game viewing can also be done from the comfort of loungers around the pool and Jacuzzi, as many species of birds, small animals and even some of the big five have been spotted from the deck. We pride ourselves on giving you a memorable wildlife experience.Twice-daily game drives in open safari vehicles bring you up close with Africa’s iconic Big Five and the hidden gems of the veld. Or simply unwind by the pool or in the jacuzzi, where elephants and antelope may wander past, just beyond the safety of the electric fence.

Buffalo Thorn Lodge offers a private, self-catering safari escape that blends luxury with the raw beauty of the South African wilderness—an experience you’ll never forget.

ABOUT BLACK RHINO GAME RESERVE

This new reserve forms part of the Greater Pilanesberg National Park, which is in the extent of 57 000 hectares, in size. Black Rhino Game Reserve is situated in Pilanesberg National Parks (PNP) North Western boundary. It is just less than 2000 hectares in size and is the first extension that was incorporated into the PNP. The final goal is to incorporate farms between PNP and the Madikwe Game Reserve to form the “Heritage Park” that will be in the extent of 300 000 hectares.

We can enjoy traversing the entire park of 57 000 hectares in open game drive vehicles, for close-up viewing of the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) and numerous endangered species such as cheetah, African wild dog, sable and Tsessebe antelope.

The Black Rhino Game Reserve's vegetation is predominantly sweetveld and it complements the sour and mixed veld of the PNP. The reserve is characterized by huge numbers of Tambotie trees and therefore regular sightings of the bad tempered Black Rhino are frequent.
