walking safari: RHINO WALKING SAFARIS.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Rhino Walking Safaris lets you discover nature’s hidden wonders in 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. Rhino Walking Safaris also has exclusive use of some of the Kruger National Park’s public roads for evening game drives, well after gate closing times (sunset), ensuring guests an unforgettable experience. Highly qualified guides share their wealth of bush knowledge with you – from the identification of animals, trees, grasses, insects and birds to the medicinal uses of plants, folklore and basic tracking and survival skills. Any combination of multi-day walks, game drives or primitive sleep-outs on raised wooden platforms can be arranged. Luxury accommodation is also available at the romantic Plains Camp and Rhino Post Camp. The concession is a stone’s throw from Skukuza, the heart of the Kruger Park, and is easily accessible by road or air.

    This is probably the best way to get in touch with Africa... with the earth and animals. You will have to go on an organised tour with a guide. He will have a gun, and hopefully not have to use it! Rememebr, you are in the wild here, and you are NOT the top of the food chain in this territory! Remember to bring the following: Light coloured clothing that doesnt absorb the sun as much as dark clothing. Long-sleeved shirts and trousers which will help protect you against the sun and insect bites. A cap/hat that covers your head and neck. Sunglasses. Comfortable hiking boots with thick socks. Long socks if you are going hiking (extra protection against snakes if you come across one). Take your recommended Malaria tablets, sun screen (Factor 35), headache tablets (from being in the car during the sun all day, may bring on a headache), and usual little things like some plasters for blisters, Tabard for the mossies (mosquitos), cotton wool, germolene etc. And of course, your camera :) To take that VT shot plus the one for your mum.

    walking safari: 3-day hiking in the Kruger
    This was one of my all-time favourite trips, and as close to nature as you can get. Kruger has a limited number of hiking tours available. It's normally for a 3 night duration, and starts with a pick-up at one of the main camps. From there you're taking by 4x4 to the base camp (max. of 8 people + guides). Chalets are for 2 people each, and showers etc. are normally 1 per camp. Itenary is morning and mid-afternoon walks, with siesta-time in the afternoon as it gets too hot to go traipsing around at around 11. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, and know the areas they serve very well, pointing out lairs, nests etc. along the way. You get very close to the animals, and was a major change vs. viewing them from the car from all the previous holidays. At night there is wonderful cooking around the campfire. Each camp also has a large refrigerator for storing beer etc. These hikes are extremely popular, and mostly have to be booked at least a year in advance.
