One of the reasons that the Black Rhino Range Expansion Project (BRREP), an initiative of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and WWF, has been such a success is the fact that the genes of the rhinos are spread across the entire population. As such, it was time for our territorial bull, Nesibindi, to spread his genes at another BRREP site.

Lovely peaceful location in the middle of Pongola game reserve. The cottage is clean and has all the facilities you need. Nice to heat up the hot tub outside and light the barbecue. We had good wifi in the cottage. Saw lots of animals on the game drive!

What a wonderful stay in the middle of nature
Positive:Pretty secluded place. An entire house to yourself. You can lock the entrance gate to keep the animals outside. The wood fired hot tub was absolutely amazing! Make sure you have lighter fluid with you. Otherwise the fire will be difficult to light. And make sure you have all your groceries before you go to the park. The nearest shop is a 40 minute drive one way. Really great... Read this review

The tents are the best we had during our trip, very well equipped, easy to eat inside or do a braai outside. The small shop in the resort is well stocked and offered everything we needed during our stay. The hot tub takes a bit of work to heat: but it was fun to do and in the end, the water was really warm, almost too much, but it... Read this review

Fantastic location and lovely for families or groups of mates. The accommodation is stylish, clean and wonderfully located. The guides were fantastic with the little kids on the boat cruise. The hot tubs were a huge hit. We will certainly be back. Apr 2022

What an awesome place to stay! We were not planning on stopping over but due to unforseen circumstances we ended up booking in here. The glamping tents are absolutely fantastic with everything spotless and clean. You have all the appliances and equipment you may need. There is an awesome jacuzzi that you can heat up with a fire in the evenings. The staff are accommodating. The view and the... Read this review

We booked out the bush camp, and loved that we had our individual rooms, with perfect common areas for socializing with the family. Especially loved the fire boma! Staff were great and we loved that we didn’t need to clean a single dish. May 2021

From our blog
Our visiting bird ringers struck gold recently when one of the birds they ringed, a Red-backed Shrike bearing the ring number BF22756, was found 7000 kilometers away in Egypt. Red-backed Shrikes breeds across Eurasia but spend the northern winter in the southern African sub region.
For #WorldRhinoDay2025, we’re sharing the story of one very special rhino on our reserve.
