Write a User ReviewBlack Rhino Encounters
Mkhaya Game Reserve is a rewarding destination for travellers interested in rare wildlife. Known primarily for its protection of endangered species, Mkhaya offers unusually close encounters. During a morning walking safari, I found myself just metres from a browsing black rhino. An experience I won’t ever forget.
Mkhaya is also a sanctuary for Livingstone’s eland and the elusive roan antelope, both thriving here under careful management. Guided drives and walks take visitors through a mosaic of acacia thornveld, riverine forest and open glades. With no self-drive access, the reserve maintains an atmosphere of exclusivity.
The heart of the reserve is Stone Camp, a rustic, lantern-lit lodge tucked beneath tall trees along a dry riverbed. Its open-fronted stone cottages blend beautifully into the forest, and it’s common to wake to the sound of branches snapping as nyala or bushbuck wander between the rooms. Crested guineafowl are constant companions here, padding
