"Rhino Walking Safari" in the Kruger Park!
 (3 / 4 or 5 Nights)

Option 1    (3 night package)

Day 1

Depart from Johannesburg International Airport for Kruger Mpumalanga Airport / Nelspruit airport (MQP). Upon your arrival you are met by a Lodge representative and transferred to the lodge in the Kruger National Park. Upon your arrival at the lodge you will be given a safari briefing. In the  afternoon after a light lunch you depart on your first game walk. This Rhino Walking Safari offers restricted use of the unspoiled bushveld in the only authorised wilderness concession in the Kruger National Park. Guests are offered distinctive luxury walking safaris. Guests can look forward to game viewing drives. For a true wilderness experience guests can sleep-outs on elevated wooden platforms, weather permitting of course. Gain knowledge from your experienced guides on how to distinguish the different animals, trees, the medicinal uses of plants and basic tracking & survival skills.

Rhino Walking Safaris offers private use of 12 000 hectares of immaculate bushveld in the only official wilderness concession in the Kruger National Park. In the region of 10 km North East (as the hornbill flies) of Skukuza Rest Camp, the concession has a 15 km border with Mala Mala in the Sabi Sands reserve with the game moving without restraint between the 2 reserves. The concession is an environmentally responsive area, presenting a great assortment of both fauna and flora and ideally placed for walking safaris in an officially declared Big Five wilderness area.

Luxury walking safaris are yet the most rewarding way to discover & experience the secrets of the bush, true wilderness & wildlife. This area is renowned for its diversity of fauna & flora.  With no more than 8 guests on each walking trail, accompanied by 2 armed Trails Guides, you can experience the African bush in complete safety. These Guides meet the stringent requirements of the South African National Parks and senior guides hold the highest Guiding Qualification possible in South Africa. After an preliminary brief on the 'do's & don'ts' of bush walking safaris, your Guides will arrange the trail taking into consideration the fitness levels of your particular group. In the summer months, departures are usually prior to breakfast and again in the late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. In winter a sumptuous breakfast is the normal prelude to the morning safari. Overnight Plains Camp in a luxury tent with full en-suite facilities on full board basis

Plains Safari Camp was the first camp to open. Built in authentic pioneer tradition, it has the serenity of a 19th century naturalists rest. Overlooking the spectacular Timbitene plain & waterhole, it offers 4 comfortably furnished African explorer style tents en suite nestled in an acacia Knobthorn thicket. The camp's plunge pool has a refreshing view of the abundant game traversing the plain. A collection of Africana books and treasures evokes the spell of bygone days. Overhead fans and 24 hour lighting are powered by a generator and back-up battery system. The generator system can be used to re-charge camera batteries.

Day 2    Full day at the Camp

A typical day would include an early start, a cup of fresh coffee and home made rusks after which guests set out on their morning walk, following Rhino trails and Elephant paths. Returning to camp (or reaching the next camp) the guests enjoy a leisurely brunch and time to relax around the pool overlooking the plain if at Plains Camp or the river bed at Rhino Post Camp. Keeping an eye on the waterhole you may well spot a breeding herd of Elephants coming down to drink. After high tea, take a walk or a game drive in the late afternoon, winding down with sundowners, while watching an African sunset. Look out for the nightlife on the game drive back to camp. Enjoy drinks & an opulent dinner while the night sounds of the bush envelop the camp. In addition to your wilderness concession, you have exclusive use of some of the Kruger Park public roads at night. The Kruger Park has strict gate closing times (before sunset) for their rest camps & access gates. You are allowed to utilise certain public roads for night / evening drives well after gate closing times.Also, besides walking safaris, game drives are available from Rhino Post Camp. Another option is for a full or half-day game drive on the Kruger public roads with a picnic lunch en-route. These options are by prior arrangement. While staying at Plains Camp guests may enjoy the drives to and from carefully selected walking trails, particularly in the evening following an afternoon walk & sundowners.

On each of the four sleeping platforms is a large chest, which hides two decently thick folded mattresses, zip-out sleeping bags, sheets and comfortable pillows. They seem to have thought of everything, even torches and paraffin lanterns for an atmospheric night-time camping safari feel.
