The Kouga Rhino Sanctuary: A Commitment to the Survival of the White Rhino

At the heart of Lombardini Game Farm lies the Kouga Rhino Sanctuary, established with one clear purpose: to protect and ensure the continued survival of the magnificent white rhino.

Rhino poaching has had a devastating impact on populations across Africa, driven largely by the illegal demand for rhino horn. The loss of these remarkable animals has made conservation an urgent priority.

Lombardini Game Farm has experienced this crisis firsthand. After the farm's herd of 19 rhinos was tragically reduced to just three females following devastating poaching attacks, the sanctuary strengthened its commitment to rhino conservation.

Today, Lombardini is dedicated to protecting its remaining rhinos, educating visitors and raising awareness about the importance of preserving these extraordinary animals for generations to come.

Activities

Lombardini Game Farm offers plenty of opportunities to experience the area's wildlife and natural beauty. Its location in the scenic Seekoei River Valley places guests within easy reach of Jeffreys Bay and Cape St Francis, where pristine beaches, spectacular coastal scenery and world-class surfing await.

Visit the Kouga Rhino Sanctuary

A visit to the Kouga Rhino Sanctuary is an intimate and unforgettable wildlife experience. Guests can spend meaningful time with the sanctuary's magnificent white rhinos under the care of an experienced ranger affectionately known as the “rhino whisperer.”

The experience takes place in a peaceful natural setting, where the rhinos may wander close to visitors, feed nearby and provide a rare opportunity to appreciate their incredible strength, character and gentle nature.

Along the way, guests may also encounter an impressive variety of wildlife, including:

• Giraffe
• Zebra
• Nyala
• Buffalo
• Eland
• Impala
• Springbok
• And other indigenous species.

Rhino Encounters

As part of its conservation and educational efforts, Lombardini offers guests the opportunity to meet its three treasured female white rhinos (Brittany, Tiffany and Amanda).

Under careful supervision, visitors can experience the extraordinary privilege of getting close to these magnificent animals and, where appropriate, touching a white rhino. It is a deeply memorable encounter that leaves a lasting impression and brings the importance of rhino conservation to life.

Picnic in the Wild

Enhance your wildlife experience with a private picnic surrounded by nature. Enjoy delicious snacks and refreshing drinks while taking in the sights and sounds of the African bush and watching the animals in their natural environment.

Guided Game Drives

Discover the wildlife of Lombardini Game Farm on a guided game drive. Travelling in an open game-viewing vehicle, guests can explore the reserve while searching for an array of wildlife in their natural surroundings.

With the African landscape stretching out around you and the warm breeze in the air, each drive offers the possibility of a new and exciting wildlife encounter.

Meet the Rhino Whisperer

One of the sanctuary's most touching experiences is witnessing the remarkable bond between the resident ranger, affectionately known as the “rhino whisperer,” and the sanctuary's three beloved rhino females.

This unique relationship demonstrates the trust and connection that can develop between people and wildlife and offers visitors an emotional insight into the dedication required to protect these incredible animals.

Lombardini Game Farm is more than a place to stay — it is an opportunity to experience South African wildlife, connect with nature and support meaningful rhino conservation, all within easy reach of the country's spectacular Eastern Cape coastline.
