Plains Camp @ Rhino Walking Safaris is an intimate trails camp in the heart of South Africa’s legendary Kruger National Park. We are privileged to exclusively explore a 12 000 hectare private concession on foot in ‘Big 5 territory’ that was not previously open to the public. Experience Africa’s wildlife – its sights, sounds, scents and textures on foot or spend a night under the stars at our Sleep-Out decks and immerse yourself in nature.

Plains Camp @ Rhino Walking Safaris is not your ordinary Kruger Park camp. Our exclusive lodge offers two of the most unforgettable and adventuresome activities – walking safaris through the park and the option to sleep-out in tents on wooden decks. Either way, you are guaranteed an experience of a lifetime.

Plains Camp @ Rhino Walking Safaris is an activity-based destination. We specialise in wilderness walking safaris led by dedicated guides with years of experience and training. With a maximum of eight people – over the age of 12 – per walk, guests are accompanied by two armed guides as you explore all the wonder and intrigue the Kruger has to offer. Plains Camp is not about a variety of activities; it is about the incredibly liberating experience of immersing oneself in nature and the astounding biodiversity of the Kruger National Park. If your interest is even mildly sparked by wildlife and nature, there is no chance of getting bored!

The Kruger National Park – Plains Camp @ Rhino Walking Safaris– is situated in a malaria area and we recommend guests err on the side of caution.

At Rhino Walking Safaris our primary offering is guide-led walking safaris through the Kruger National Park. Typically 3 hours per walk, this activity is for healthy, able-bodied persons over the age of 12 years

At Plains Camp @ Rhino Walking Safaris we pride ourselves on our commitment to the environment and wildlife we are privileged to see. That means we are committed to maintaining our ‘No off-road Policy’.

Triples – Because the maximum number of people on a walking safari is limited to eight, we regret we cannot accommodate three people in one tent. The third person would have to occupy their own tent.

For the adventurous, take this experience a step further by pre-booking a night at the Sleep-Out decks; spend the night on open sleeping platforms under the stars. Enjoy a dinner cooked on an open fire by your guide and fall asleep to the sounds of hyenas whooping or the rumble of elephants close by.

If you elect to participate in the Sleep-Out activity, you will walk there on foot from Plains Camp.

Over and above the much-publicised ‘Big 5’ (leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo) an impressive 147 mammal species inhabit this remarkable reserve which is a greater variety of species than in any other park in Africa. In addition, it boasts 517 bird species (including migratory birds), 49 fish, 34 amphibia, 114 reptile and over 2000 plant species (including 336 tree species and the Big Five of trees: Baobab, Fever-Tree, Knobthorn, Marula, and Mopane). All this in a conservation area that is roughly the size of Israel.
