Rhino Walking Safaris

We spent a couple days and had a great experience. The morning walking safari was a good way to see the landscape close up and one day we saw Sable antelopes. While you see less animals than on the evening drive learning about the trees and bushes as well as marking habits of the animals was a great balance to the less intimate evening drive. The walk was also a good way to start the day. We saw many animals in the evening including a massive herd of buffalo. Between the two drives we watched animals pass by the camp including a family of warthogs, and many zebras and elephants. The camp is lovely the common spaces are perfect for animals watching and sharing meals. The tents provided a perfect place to relax at the end of the day with comfortable beds and hot water bottles for the chilly nights. There was also a lovely deck for relaxing and watching the wildlife. Hearing the lions at night was an amazing experience. The food was very good and abundant. The early morning muffins before the walk hit the spot. Breakfast. tea and dinner were also very nice. Wesley and Orrence our guide and tracker made a great pair. William the chef and the rest of the staff made our stay memorable. We highly recommend Rhino Walking Safari as a way to really experience Kruger.

The lodge offers luxurious, well-maintained tented accommodation. The communal viewing deck is a definite highlight—overlooking vast plains that attracted abundant wildlife throughout the day. Watching nature unfold from that vantage point was truly special. A heartfelt thank you to our guide, Wesley, who went above and beyond by allowing us to use his personal WiFi to contact family during an emergency. With no connectivity at the lodge, his kindness made a real difference. Unfortunately, the walking safari experience didn’t meet expectations. Walks were short, repetitive, and often adjusted around the varying arrival and departure times of other guests. During our stay, our interest in tracking lions was overlooked in favor of other guests’ requests, without any communication or explanation. The meals were also fairly average, especially given the premium pricing. As someone who’s done several wildlife walking safaris, I found this offering underwhelming. It might be suitable for first-timers, but less so for those looking for depth, flexibility, or a more curated trail experience.

Be close to the "great 5" while walking with experienced guides and trackers, incredible time! Then head back to a rustic camp and be pampered with great food and accomodation!

Rhino Walking Safaris, is conveniently located close to Skukuza and the airport, making it easily accessible. Guest service was excellent form the moment you arrived to the moment we departed. Guides were knowledgeable and catered experiences to our needs, thank you Wesley and Orens for lifetime memories. Hospitality staff were friendly and did a wonderful job in making our experience memorable. I will highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to get away from the stresses of society in order to spend some quality time in nature.
