Rhino Walking Safaris lies in the Kruger National Park, the largest game reserve in South Africa, and offers an unrivalled wilderness and wildlife experience. With its two camps, Plains Camp and Rhino Post Safari Lodge, it provides a range of accommodation options in the midst of a spectacular landscape. Comfortable explorer-style tents and elegant suites combine home comforts with an authentic pioneer tradition and the serenity of bygone days. With several expertly organized trails that cater for every need, Rhino Walking Safaris visitors can enjoy a tailor-made experience of the amazing wildlife and landscape of South Africa.

A walking safari is combined with a late afternoon and after dark game drive. There aren’t many opportunities to do either one of these activities in Africa. Daryl, the camp manager and principal guide, is a real character in the best sense of the word. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and that of his assistant guide. Getting exercise on safari is not easy to come by and this four day three night trip really helped to overcome that problem. Daryl was a master at spotting game. We had lots of lion and leopard sightings. Seeing them at night was so cool.

    The location is unbelievable, overlooking the Sabie River with a great view of Hippos everyday. Our Safari Guide Mishack went over and above to make sure we saw The Big 5 and his knowledge and ability was second to none. JJ and Thomas were great hosts for our breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was nothing they couldn't do for you.

    The villa we stayed is was amazingly beautiful and quiet. from the second room balcony we could see the river and the elephants walking in it. the restaurant is also situated on a river lookout and it is great sitting in the evening eating and having the elephants waking there. the stuff were amazing. each time we left the villa someone came, clean, fold laundry and even started a laundry machine for us. its a shame we came in the winter since we could not use the pool.

    This is a must stay property, specially the newly constructed room - Luxury Challets. Super comfortable, very well located. You have option to do Safaris by Park and even Self drive. Located right at the Paul Kruger Gate. On Thu, Friday, Sat they also host African Tribal Dance during dinner which is really fun to watch. The hospitality and Safety of the place was simply amazing. I will surely choose Kruger Gate hotel again when I’m back.

    The perfect place to stay while visiting Kruger! This place is a 2 min drive from the Kruger gate. The studio is beautiful, super modern and contains everything you need (nice bed, fully equipped kitchen, even a bbq and more!). Also the host is super friendly! Would definitely recommend! We loved our stay here!

    Cheap, small restaurant with selection of drinks and food. Comfortable bed, great aircon and large shower. It also would be a very quiet comfortable location close to Kruger.
