Accommodation at Rhino Walking Safaris

Specialising in luxury walking safaris, Rhino Walking Safaris offer exclusive traversing in 12 000 hectares of pristine bushveld in the only official wilderness concession awarded in the Kruger National Park. Approximately 10km North East (as the hornbill flies) of Skukuza Rest Camp, the concession shares a 15km boundary with Mala Mala in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, with game moving freely between the two reserves. The concession comprises of environmentally sensitive areas previously unexplored, with huge diversity of both fauna and flora – an ideal setting for wilderness walking safaris in an internationally renowned big five area. Any combination of multi-day walks, game drives or primitive sleep-outs on raised wooden platforms can be arranged over a 3 day period. Luxury accommodation is also available at the romantic Plains Camp and Rhino Post Safari Lodge. The concession is a stone’s throw from Skukuza, the heart of the Kruger Park, and is easily accessible by road or air.

Hotel Facilities at Rhino Walking Safaris

• Swimming Pool • Bar/Lounge 

You have a choice of 3 different styles of accommodation over the 3 nights of your walking safari. Plains Camp has four African explorer-style tents nestled in an Acacia Knobthorn thicket, which overlooks the spectacular Timbitene plain with its abundant wildlife. This 8-bed camp is built in authentic pioneer tradition and reflects the ambience of a 19th century naturalist’s retreat. The camp is in the middle of our wilderness concession, where it seems the rest of the world no longer exists, and guests are ensured of superb game sightings from their room or on foot. Rhino Post Safari Lodge is set under magnificent Tamboti trees and is built with natural materials – stone, wood, thatch and canvas - to give it an authentic bush feel. Each suite is beautifully decorated and the bedroom and lounge area offer wonderful views of the riverbed. In the heat of summer, cool off in the swimming pool and watch the wildlife amble down to the waterhole for a midday drink. At sundown, enjoy a cocktail in the comfort of the lounge with its extensive wine cellar, cosy fireplace and bar. Sleep Outs are 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.
