You will receive a brief history on the rhinos in the area and the role of SRT and the Rhino Rangers which also touches on our partnership with the three Conservancies. This activity is run in conjunction with SRT working with Rhino Rangers who are based in the area. The Rangers will have left on foot around sunrise and headed to the nearby natural springs to look for fresh rhino tracks while you follow on in your safari vehicle in your own time. Once the Rangers have a good sighting, they will make contact with your guide and he will drive close to their position and ask you to climb off the safari vehicle so you can join the Rangers and start to approach on foot. During this process, the Rangers will show you how they tracked the animal and point out the indicators such as fresh tracks and fresh dung that they spotted along the way.

The time that can be spent watching the rhino is completely determined by elements such as wind and terrain which will influence the Rangers when they select the best way to approach. Wind speed and direction will play a major role in how close we can approach to the animals, and the Rangers will monitor them closely to make sure they are not disturbed by our presence. Once back at the vehicle the Rangers will explain how they identify the rhino and record all the necessary information. This is also a good time to voice any questions you have.

This activity is normally done in the late afternoon after the morning’s rhino tracking, and it is generally welcomed after a few hours of relaxing back at the Camp. You can either go on a short drive to the sundowner location or you can walk from anywhere between 45 and 90 minutes to a point where you will meet your sundowner set up which will have been brought out by the Journey Magicians. After the sun has set you will head back to camp by vehicle to be there in time for a shower and then to have an enjoyable and tasty dinner.

There are two different options on offer and the choice between them may be determined by what has already been seen on the way into camp. The decision on this can be taken after consultation with your guide.

This is a fascinating activity that will allow you to explore a petroglyph and rock painting site that is not visited by many guests and has more plates than the Twyfelfontein UNESCO World Heritage site. This is truly a hidden gem and for those that wish to explore the area by vehicle and foot.
