Plains Camp at Rhino Walking Safaris

Authentic Kruger Walks with Optional Sleep-Outs

Plains Camp – Rhino Walking Safaris delivers a back-to-basics, up-close Kruger experience on a private concession near Skukuza. With just four classic tents and expert trail guides, the focus is firmly on tracking and interpreting the bush on foot, complemented by unhurried game drives when conditions suit. Evenings bring fireside dinners and superb southern-sky stargazing, while adventurous guests can opt for a hosted “sleep-out” on an elevated platform. It’s a quiet, authentic camp designed for nature lovers who value space, simplicity and true immersion.

Overview of Plains Camp at Rhino Walking Safaris

Plains Camp sits on a 12,000-hectare private concession that was closed to the public before Rhino Walking Safaris began, and strict limits on vehicle access keep it quiet.

Location & Setting

Set on a private concession in the southern Kruger near Skukuza, Plains Camp sits at the base of a low hill overlooking open plains with distant ridges. Access is typically via flights to Skukuza Airport, followed by a short transfer through the park, often with wildlife sightings en route.

Rooms

Accommodation comprises four twin explorer-style tents, each en suite with an indoor shower and hot running water. Canvas, timber and classic safari touches create an old-world feel, while private verandas look onto the surrounding bush for quiet wildlife viewing between activities.

The minimum age is 12, since walking is the heart of the camp, and younger children can stay only when the camp is booked exclusively. Walks follow an established trail and can last up to four hours, and two activities a day are included with brunch, high tea and dinner. Transfers between Rhino Post Safari Lodge and Plains Camp are part of the stay. With only eight guests at most, the walking groups stay small, and routes depend on the wind and on what the morning’s tracks show.

Facilities

Days follow a relaxed rhythm: early coffee and rusks, a morning bush walk and brunch; siesta and waterhole watching; then high tea followed by an afternoon walk or drive and sundowners. Evenings center on the fire and shared meals. Adventurous guests can opt for a hosted night on the sleep-out decks under the stars, and a plunge pool overlooks the plain for the hot hours.
