Today you arrive in the renowned Kruger National Park and check in at Rhino Post Safari Lodge no later than 2 pm for your transfer to Plains Camp. Guests traveling from Johannesburg are advised to have departed by 7 am at the latest in order to make good time.

After arriving at Plains Camp, you are afforded a short window to explore the camp itself. High tea is served and is followed by a briefing on the dos and don’ts whilst on safari, conducted by the lodge's expert guides. You will venture out on an introductory walk, later returning to sundowners and a short night drive. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner under a canopy of stars.

An early morning wake-up call is softened with coffee, tea, and rusks before the group departs again for the next walk. Guides share their extensive understanding of the area and its culture, identifying animals, trees, grasses, insects, birds, the medicinal uses of plants, local folklore, and basic tracking and survival skills. To avoid the midday heat, the three to four-hour walks are conducted almost exclusively in the early mornings and late afternoons.

After a light snack on the walk, you settle into brunch back at camp. Spend the hot hours in between walks enjoying the camp's Africana book collection or cool off in the plunge pool while watching the regular passage of zebra, buffalo, giraffe, elephant, rhino, and lion. The afternoon safari ends with the group setting up camp on a set of raised platforms and sleeping underneath the stars for the evening. Dinner is prepared on an open fire while guests watch as wildlife congregates around the watering hole.

Accommodation: Rhino Plains Camp

After one more early wake-up call and freshly brewed coffee or tea, you set off again on a game drive for one last opportunity to spot some of Africa's finest wildlife.

Once you return to the lodge, brunch is served and you are given some time to freshen up and pack your personal belongings before bidding farewell to the bushveld.
