Phirima Lodge

Your own private hectare in Africa's fourth-largest game reserve - booked exclusively for one party at a time.

Within the Black Rhino Game Reserve, on the western edge of the Pilanesberg, a single private lodge sits fenced within its own hectare of bushveld - yours, and yours alone, for the length of your stay. Four ensuite chalets, a private pool, a resident ranger and game-viewing vehicle reserved exclusively for your party.

The exclusive-use promise

One Lodge. One Party. Entirely Yours.

Phirima Lodge is never shared. When you book, the whole lodge is reserved for you and your party alone - every chalet, the pool, the boma, the waterhole deck, and the private game vehicle. There is no other group to share a sundowner deck with, no schedule to coordinate around. Just your own hectare of the African bush, and a team quietly devoted to your stay.
