Positive: Our stay at Rhino Villa was the absolute highlight of our trip to South Africa. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect finale to our adventure. The villa itself is stunning. We were thrilled with the spacious rooms and their cozy private patios. The main terrace, with its dining area and comfortable lounge, became our evening sanctuary — the perfect spot for all of us to gather, share stories of the day, and enjoy a glass of wine by the pool. We felt incredibly pampered. Our private chef and the staff were exceptional. Every meal was a masterpiece — it felt like fine dining, with beautiful presentation and incredible flavors. The fridge was always stocked with cool drinks, and we were constantly delighted by lovely surprises, like wine or champagne presented beautifully in an ice bucket with flowers. But what truly made our experience magical were the people. Adél is the kindest and most attentive host we’ve ever met in South Africa. We will always remember her greeting us with a warm smile and refreshing wet towels every single time we returned from our game drives. The safari was phenomenal, largely thanks to our amazing rangers, Kelly and Solly, who made each game drive an immersive learning experience. We didn’t just observe the animals and birds — we learned so much about them, the bush ecosystem, and life in South Africa in general. The coffee breaks and picnics in the bush were the cherry on top. Even back at the villa, the wildlife encounters continued — from rhinos and antelope visiting to monkeys playing in the trees by the terrace, we felt constantly connected to nature. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating such a flawless, welcoming, and luxurious experience. Adél and her team have created something truly extraordinary. We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and a deep desire to return one day. With our warmest regards and deepest gratitude, Elena, Victoria, Laura, Ivan, Maxim, Nikita
