RHINO WALKING SAFARIS
Tented Accommodation
in Kruger National Park - Sabi Sands, Lowveld & Kruger National Park,
Mpumalanga, South Africa
Rhino Walking Safaris lets you discover nature's hidden wonders in specially
tailored walking trails through a 12,000 ha private wilderness concession in
the Kruger National Park. The concession shares a 15km unfenced boundary with
the famous Mala Mala and Sabi Sand reserve with an abundance of wildlife moving
freely between the two reserves. The concession is noted as an excellent game
viewing area and good sightings can be expected.
Highly qualified guides share their wealth of bush knowledge with you - from the
identification of animals, trees, grasses, insects and birds to the medicinal
uses of plants, folklore and basic tracking and survival skills.
Any combination of multi-day walks, game drives (see Rhino Post Safari Lodge) or
primitive sleep-outs on raised wooden platforms can be arranged. The concession
is a stone's throw from Skukuza, the heart of the Kruger Park, and is easily
accessible by road or air.
Plains Camp offers 4 comfortably furnished African explorer style tents, en
suite with hot running water and all the comforts of home with the African
Wilderness on your doorstep. Built in authentic pioneer tradition, it has the
serenity of a 19th century naturalists rest, nestled in an Acacia Knobthorn
thicket. A generator and a back-up battery system power overhead fans and 24
hour lighting. The generator system can be used to re-charge camera batteries at
specific times. There is a communal Lounge & Dining Area with outside fireplace.
Overhead fans are in all tents. Only 8 guests per walking trail escorted by 2
armed rangers per walking trail, ensures safety and exclusivity.
From Plains Camp, guests can walk to our Sleepouts where they spend the night in
tents on elevated wooden platforms. This is the only place in the Kruger
National Park offering this unusual accommodation. Guests will enjoy sounds and
senses heightened as they share the wilderness at night, while being safely
guarded by our observant guides. The rumble of the elephant passing by or the
roar of the lion at the nearby waterhole, are the only noises that might disturb
guests in this peaceful wilderness. Guests will arrive on foot at the platforms
in the early evening carrying a lightweight rucksack containing a change of
clothes and refreshments. After hanging up mosquito net tents, sundowners can be
enjoyed on the platforms overlooking a waterhole. There are 2 bathrooms with hot
showers and flushing toilets. 8 guests per Sleep Out and 2 armed guards.

cannot go on game drives unless there is a spare vehicle available or a private
vehicle booked by prior arrangement.
