Your guide will meet your plane and whisk you away for the adventure ahead. On arrival at Rhino Post Safari Lodge, you will be transferred to Plains Camp.

Camp is situated on a vast private concession in the Kruger National Park. Game moves freely through this area in the heart of the wilderness, overlooking the spectacular Timbitene Plain and waterhole.

The concession is an environmentally sensitive area previously unexplored. With its huge diversity of flora and fauna—including the renowned “big five”—it makes an ideal setting for walking safaris.After settling into your tent, explore the grounds and join your campmates for high tea followed by a brief orientation to bush walking. Then depart with your guides for an introductory walk, sundowners in the bush, and a short night drive before returning to camp.

An early morning wake-up brings you fresh coffee, tea, and traditional South African rusks before you set out with your guides on a new safari walk. Because nothing is predictable in the bush, each safari offers a new experience. As you walk, learn about the animals, trees, grasses, insects, and birds... the medicinal uses of plants... local folklore... and time-honored tracking and survival skills.

Walking trails are best enjoyed early morning and late afternoon, avoiding midday heat. The morning walk averages 3-4 hours. Walks are customized by your guides to accommodate the group’s fitness level and special interests. A light snack is served on the walk, and a satisfying brunch awaits on your return to the camp. During the midday heat, enjoy the camp’s small library of Africana or the plunge pool overlooking the plain, where buffalo, elephant, giraffe, lion, rhino, and zebra are often sighted.

This afternoon you’ll safari by game vehicle to another location, and set off on foot upon your trail. Enjoy sundowners in the bush as you recount your day’s adventures. Back at camp, your exploits will be rewarded by a sumptuous dinner, accompanied by the sounds of the African night.

Included Activities: Bush walks, game drive, and leisure time. Meals: BLD

There’s time to explore one more walking trail before you decamp to Rhino Post Safari Lodge. After settling in, gather in the lounge overlooking the waterhole to enjoy a delicious high tea before departing for your afternoon/evening game drive.

Guided game-drive safaris at Rhino Post Safari Lodge are conducted in customized, open 4x4 Land Cruisers. In addition to its private wilderness concession, the lodge also gives visitors access to the Kruger public roads with exclusive use of some roads at night—well after gate-closing times. This affords exciting sightings of the park’s nocturnal animals.

At sunset the game drive stops for sundowner cocktails beneath the colorful African sunset, then continues the drive into early evening. Return to the lodge in time to freshen up and enjoy a drink before a sumptuous dinner on the deck, serenaded by night creatures.
