Rhino Walking Safaris

We spent 2 nights as the plains camp, one in the tented camp and one in the treehouse tent. Were we to do it again we would have spent 4 nights here. The off the grid, no cell and no wifi, remote location and intimate setting with 4-8 guests make this a really special opportunity to experience the wildlife. The tents were comfortable and although it was cold at night the hot water bladders kept us warm. The treehouse was really special as we heard hyena calls, elephant calls and many birds through the night. Do not expect much sleep but hearing the wildlife makes it so worth it. Our guide, Wesley, and our tracker, Orance, were amazing and taught us so much about the environment and animal behavior. Our approximate 3 hour bush walks featured a wide variety of animals, and we saw wild dogs driving to a bush walk location. Orance brought wonderful snacks and coffee on the walks. On the evening game drives we also so a wide array of animals including 7 white rhinos crossing the road. The hospitality and food were incredible. The staff so welcoming and nice, thank you Pepsi and Trinity. I require a gluten free diet and Chef Lindy was amazing, preparing GF crepes, pancakes, quiche, tasty desserts. I had every bit the culinary experience as the other guests. Great memories were made here with my son as we experienced a true off the beaten path and grid immersion.

We were completely blown away by this experience. Every detail was so well thought out. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, the property was beautiful, and the small group setting made everyone feel like family. This is an incredible experience for anyone looking to unplug from everyday life and experience Kruger in a more authentic and personal way.

I spent an incredible 3 nights at the Rhino Plains Camp and thoroughly enjoyed every minute - - the staff made the experience very special- James the guide and Orens the tracker are passionate about the bush and highly professional in all aspects of the bush walking experience. They made the bush come alive with their detailed knowledge of the flora and fauna and I was excited to be tracking elephants, buffalo and rhino confident that I was in safe hands. The drives to and from the chosen bush walking location were always fun and rewarding with animal sightings at every turn- the night drives in particular provided amazing sightings- such as coming across a herd of over 100 buffalos and a group hyenas on the road. The meals at the camp were delicious and of a fine dining standard - I already miss the freshly baked bread and muffins and the fresh omelette at brunch prepared by the friendly team at the camp. The accommodation is in a luxury tents that is very comfortable and functional- it is hard to believe you are in a remote bush camp. The standout for me was the last night sleeping out under the stars-- it was more like a tree house experience with comfortable bedding and a tasty BBQ/braai dinner in a beautiful setting overlooking a river bed. Anyone of average fitness can do the walks as they are not a forced march but rather a tailored meander through the bush. Overall a faultless experience , although I am sure first time visitors would benefit from a dedicated check in for the plains camp rather than being checked in by the safari lodge.

This place is paradise on earth. No mobile or internet. Only positive words about this spot. Peace and quite, lovely walks in the bush with professional staff, you really feel safe. The staff is friendly and he food is excellent. The sleep out is something really special.

Rhino Plains is my favorite camp in the KNP by far - it is a comfortable and intimate tented camp with a beautiful vista overlooking a water hole which attracts numerous animals. It has a tangible atmosphere of relaxation and being totally at one with nature. Our guide and host, Darryl, is an enthusiastic and affable young man with an incredible amount of knowledge about the bush. The morning bush walks were outstanding, and guided by Darryl with the support of Albino, we were able to see/track a large number of animals, insects and birds whilst feeling safe at all times. In the late afternoon, a game drive with a walk and sundowners is on offer - perfect combination. All the other camp staff (Precious, William and Victoria) are just lovely - down to earth and attentive. The food was really good and communal meals were convivial with much laughter and bantering. We stayed for two nights but I was not ready to leave - recommend at least three nights! Can’t wait for an opportunity to revisit!

We just loved this place we had 3 nights and enjoyed everything Walks were great with very informative guides minimal animals but still loved it we did see hippo giraffe zebra buffaloes plus plenty of evidence of others. From the lodge we sat and watch ostrich impala and lots of birds The rooms were clean and tidy the setting was unique and quaint loved it The afternoon sundowner drive tour was fantastic 4 hours of seeing everything from a leopard kill to lions with cubs We will definitely do this again on a return trip to South Africa We cannot thank the staff enough for a memorable trip The sleep out was closed but it wasn’t missed as we had opportunities to do so much more Thank you again for a holiday if a life time😁
