Pick up rental vehicle and drive to The Paul Kruger Gate of Kruger National Park to Rhino Post Safari Lodge
Rhino Post Safari Lodge has only 16 beds, and is set on the banks of the Mutlumuvi Riverbed, and is in the same concession as Plains Camp. This unique wilderness area offers eco-tourists the ideal place for encounters with the Big Five and allows visitors to track elephant and rhino on foot or view them from the comfort of open safari vehicles. By its very nature, a wilderness area is one where there are no permanent structures, and as such, Rhino Post Safari Lodge was built using natural materials of stone, wood, thatch and canvas to create an authentic bush ambience. Each luxury suite is exquisitely decorated and includes bedroom and lounge with impressive views of the riverbed from the bathroom, outdoor shower and decked patio. Following a walking safari or game drive, guests can relax in the revitalising swimming pool and take in the views from the shaded patio - watching the abundant wildlife amble down to the waterhole. Sumptuous meals are served in the camp’s dining area, which is set under magnificent Tamboti trees. The lounge, with its extensive wine cellar, cosy fireplace and bar, is the perfect spot for a sun downer drink. In the spirit of wilderness areas worldwide, Rhino Post Safari Lodge has been specially designed and built to have minimal impact on the environment. Few permanent structures were used in the construction of this magnificent camp. Low energy lighting, solar assisted power production, natural materials, raised walkways and bedrooms are but some of the low impact measures we have taken.
