Introduction

Escape to Big 5 Territory for a memorable safari experience while visiting Rhino Post Safari Lodge and Plains Camp (home of Rhino Walking Safaris) in the Kruger National Park. Includes daily game drive safaris, adventurous walking safaris and an option to sleepout under the stars.

Rhino Post Safari Lodge and Plains Camp (home of Rhino Walking Safaris) are situated on a 12 000 hectare private wilderness concession located entirely within the world renowned Kruger National Park (KNP).

The concession offers some of the best game viewing opportunities in Africa and the Big Five – elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo – can be seen, as well as a wide diversity of other fauna and flora.

We are located 20 kilometres from Kruger’s Skukuza Airport and share a 14km unfenced boundary with the Mala Mala Game Reserve and the Sabi Sands.

Rhino Post Safari Lodge is built beneath magnificent Tamboti trees along the banks of the usually dry Mutlumuvi River.  The river, as with many others in the region, only flows after big storms but is regularly used as a pathway by many animals en-routeto the waterhole in front of the lodge.

Natural stone, wood, thatch & canvas have been used in the construction of the lodge to blend in with the bush and to ensure that our environmental footprint is kept to a minimum.

The eight spaciously appointed luxury suites are all raised on stilts and there are good views of the river bed from your bedroom, bathroom and private deck. 

The suites are set out in an open plan style with wooden floors, thatched roofs, canvas walls and glass doors and windows. Each en-suite bathroom includes a deep, freestanding bath, ‘his & hers’ basins, a separate toilet and an outdoor shower surrounded by wooden poles. Raised walkways linking the spacious rooms to the main area allow smaller animals to wander through the entire lodge area.

Plains Camp is situated in the heart of the concession overlooking the spectacular Timbitene Plain and waterhole.  Nestled in an Acacia Knobthorn thicket, Plains Camp offers four creatively elegantly furnished African explorer-style luxury tents, with en suite and hot running water.

The construction and location of the camp helps visitors achieve a sense of being part of nature, whilst still enjoying the serenity of a comfortably appointed camp that would have delighted the great explorers of the 19th century. 

The camp forms the ideal base for safari walks with experienced guides who enthral visitors with the knowledge of the bush and its residents. Depending on availability and the weather guests at Plains Camp may also have the option of sleeping out under the stars on the elevated decks at the Sleepout.
