Accommodation
•
Rhino Post Safari Lodge
:
Located on the banks of the dry Mutlumuvi riverbed, Rhino Post Safari Lodge's eight suites loom above the riverbank, raised up on stilts that afford them views of the surrounding vegetation and wildlife. Open plan, thatch roofed suites are completed with en suite bathrooms (bath, basins, separate toilet and an outdoor shower), bedroom, living room and kitchen
•
Plains Camp accommodation
:
Located in a wilderness concession overlooking the spectacular Timbitene Plain & waterhole, Plains Camp is immersed in an Acacia Knobthorn thicket, and offers four comfortably furnished African explorer style tents, with en suite bathrooms and hot running water. Generators and a back-up battery system supply power to overhead fans and lighting, and can be used to re-charge camera batteries.
The concession is an environmentally sensitive area previously unexplored, with a huge diversity of both fauna and flora - an ideal setting for wilderness walking safaris in an internationally renowned Big Five viewing area
Wildlife
Big Five (elephant, rhino, bufallo, leopard and lion) are sometimes spotted in the area, along with wildebeest, impala , kudu, cheetah, giraffe, hyena, tsesebe, zebra, chacma baboons, and very occasional African Wild Dog.
Attractions
Rhino Post Safari Lodge offers game viewing and the opportunity to watch game from the deck while relaxing on the patio.
The lodge itself is proud of its Enviromentally freindly status, specifically built to create minimal impact in the environment - this includes very few permanent structures, the use of low energy lighting, natural materials, and raised walkways and bedrooms.
Day 1
• Rhino Post Safari Lodge serves as the meeting point for day one, and guests are requested to arrive no later than 2PM in order to make a speedy transfer to Plains Camp in the open 4 x 4. Guests travelling from Johannesburg are advised to have departed by 7AM at the latest in order to make good time
• After arriving, guests are afforded a short window in which to explore the camp itself. High tea is served, followed by a brief on bush walking safari 'do's & don't's', conducted by the lodge's expert guides
• Following this, a pair of armed guides escort guests on their introductory walk, later returning to sundowners and a short night drive
Day 2
• The early morning wake up call is softened with coffee, tea and rusks, before the group departs again for the next walk. Guides take to sharing their extensive understanding of the area and its culture, identifying animals, trees, grasses, insects, birds, the medicinal uses of plants, local folk lore and basic tracking and survival skills. In order 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, guests 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 returning to camp for dinner, before turning in for the night
Day 3
• Light snacks are served before the group heads back to Plains Camp.
• Brunch is followed by a chance to grab a shower, before packing up and transferring back to Rhino Post Safari Lodge.
• On arrival, refreshments are served and introductions to the lodge are made.Guests are then escorted to their rooms.
• Following high tea, is a relaxing an afternoon / evening game drive in a specially adapted open 4 x 4 landcruiser, with a professional game ranger. Sunset has the drive stopping for sundowners before continuing.
• Guests return to the lodge in time for a drink, dinner on the deck or in the riverbed, and some light conversation before turning in for the night.
After an early morning wake-up and an invigorating cup of fresh coffee or tea and muffins in the lounge, you will set off again for an early morning game drive. Mid way through the morning you will stop in the bush for coffee or tea before continuing looking for Africa's finest wildlife. Upon returning to the lodge enjoy a leisurely brunch, shower before packing up and check out from Rhino Post.
Day 4
• Early morning wake-up calls are made, eased with cups of fresh coffee or tea, and muffins in the lounge. Shortly thereafter, guests set off on an early morning game drive. A mid morning pause is made in the bush for coffee or tea, followed by the remainder of the morning drive, and a return to the lodge for brunch.
