Rhino Walking Safaris

We spent 2 nights as the plains camp, one in the tented camp and one in the treehouse tent. Were we to do it again we would have spent 4 nights here. The off the grid, no cell and no wifi, remote location and intimate setting with 4-8 guests make this a really special opportunity to experience the wildlife. The tents were comfortable and although it was cold at night the hot water bladders kept us warm. The treehouse was really special as we heard hyena calls, elephant calls and many birds through the night. Do not expect much sleep but hearing the wildlife makes it so worth it. Our guide, Wesley, and our tracker, Orance, were amazing and taught us so much about the environment and animal behavior. Our approximate 3 hour bush walks featured a wide variety of animals, and we saw wild dogs driving to a bush walk location. Orance brought wonderful snacks and coffee on the walks. On the evening game drives we also so a wide array of animals including 7 white rhinos crossing the road. The hospitality and food were incredible. The staff so welcoming and nice, thank you Pepsi and Trinity. I require a gluten free diet and Chef Lindy was amazing, preparing GF crepes, pancakes, quiche, tasty desserts. I had every bit the culinary experience as the other guests. Great memories were made here with my son as we experienced a true off the beaten path and grid immersion.

Be close to the "great 5" while walking with experienced guides and trackers, incredible time! Then head back to a rustic camp and be pampered with great food and accomodation!

We had a wonderful time at Plainescamp with some fantastic animal encounters. Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience the sleep-out as it rained that evening of all nights. A reason to return !

The most beautiful and exciting part of our South Africa trip. We learned a lot about the animals and their environment. Such a great place in the middle of bush land.

We had an incredible stay at Rhino Plains Camp. The accommodation is beautiful, cozy, and has great views. The staff members are kind and friendly, and they definitely made our experience memorable. We enjoyed the walking safari and the delicious freshly cooked meals. I don't think anything can beat this place and its people.

I spent an incredible 3 nights at the Rhino Plains Camp and thoroughly enjoyed every minute - - the staff made the experience very special- James the guide and Orens the tracker are passionate about the bush and highly professional in all aspects of the bush walking experience. They made the bush come alive with their detailed knowledge of the flora and fauna and I was excited to be tracking elephants, buffalo and rhino confident that I was in safe hands. The drives to and from the chosen bush walking location were always fun and rewarding with animal sightings at every turn- the night drives in particular provided amazing sightings- such as coming across a herd of over 100 buffalos and a group hyenas on the road. The meals at the camp were delicious and of a fine dining standard - I already miss the freshly baked bread and muffins and the fresh omelette at brunch prepared by the friendly team at the camp. The accommodation is in a luxury tents that is very comfortable and functional- it is hard to believe you are in a remote bush camp. The standout for me was the last night sleeping out under the stars-- it was more like a tree house experience with comfortable bedding and a tasty BBQ/braai dinner in a beautiful setting overlooking a river bed. Anyone of average fitness can do the walks as they are not a forced march but rather a tailored meander through the bush. Overall a faultless experience , although I am sure first time visitors would benefit from a dedicated check in for the plains camp rather than being checked in by the safari lodge.
