Rhino Walking Safaris lets you discover nature’s hidden wonders on a network
of 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.
Plains Camp has four, luxury African explorer-style tents overlooking the spectacular
Timbitene plain and waterhole. The camp is built in authentic pioneer tradition and is
raised on wooden decks. Stylishly decorated, the 8-bed camp offers the tranquility of a
19th century naturalist’s retreat. An Africana book collection and antique treasures are
reminiscent of a golden era.
A typical day at Plains Camp begins with a mug of steaming coffee and traditional
homemade rusks, after which guests set out on their morning walk, following rhino
tracks and elephant paths. The length of the walks depend on the interest and fitness
of the guests. Returning to camp, enjoy a leisurely brunch and relax in the cool of the
acacia trees, keeping an eye on the waterhole for the breeding herd of elephant that
frequently come to drink. Following high tea, set out again in the late afternoon for
a walking safari or game drive and then indulge in a sunset cocktail.
