Rhino Walking Safaris, South Africa


Rhino Walking Safaris lets you discover nature’s hidden wonders in specially tailored walking trails through a 12,000 ha private wilderness concession in the Kruger National Park. The concession shares a 15km unfenced boundary with the famous Mala Mala and Sabi Sand reserve with an abundance of wildlife moving freely between the two reserves. The concession is noted as an excellent game viewing area and good sightings can be expected. Rhino Walking Safaris also has exclusive use of some of the Kruger National Park’s public roads for evening game drives, well after gate closing times (sunset), ensuring guests an unforgettable experience. Any combination of multi-day walks, game drives or primitive sleep-outs on raised wooden platforms can be arranged. Luxury accommodation is also available at the romantic Plains Camp and Rhino Post Safari Lodge.
