Bothongo Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve
Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit to the Rhino & Lion Park. One of the highlights for me was seeing rhinos with their horns intact. It was wonderful to see them looking so natural, and this made the experience particularly special. My main disappointment was the restaurant at the picnic spot being closed, despite all the pre-visit information indicating that it would be open. As a tourist guide, I was working on a tight schedule as I needed to get my clients back to the airport in time for an international flight. I had planned our visit around being able to have lunch at the picnic spot. Finding the restaurant closed meant that we then had to allow additional time to eat at the main gate, which unfortunately took away some of the time we could have spent enjoying the park. I completely understand that facilities sometimes need to close, but changes like this really need to be communicated to visitors in advance, particularly as guides and tour operators plan their itineraries around the information provided. Apart from this, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the wildlife experience. - Mary-Anne

It was an experience in a life time first time ever we saw black panther and the staff very friendly, the best part of our drive was the white lions wow. - gavinsmit
We had a wonderful time. Great facilities and excellent, friendly service. Some of the directional signage was a bit confusing but not too bad. We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family. A really excellent establishment. - Danielle
