Sleep outs - Unrivalled wilderness experience
Rhino Post Safari Lodge & Rhino Walking Safaris are unique in offering this unrivalled overnight bush experience in the heart of the Kruger Park.
All Sleep Outs must be arranged during the reservation process. Sleep Outs can be enjoyed from Rhino Post, however if less than 4 people are attending a surcharge is applicable. See current rate sheet for the cost of the activity.
When embarking on a Sleep Out from Rhino Post you will depart on your afternoon drive after high tea and eventually before the sun sets you will arrive at the Sleep Outs. After being orientated around the structure you will choose your platforms and the guide will light a cooking fire.
. The Sleep Out platforms overlook a waterhole where you will enjoy the Sunset whilst sipping a refreshing sundowner While your guide prepares a traditional South African braai on an open fire, you can relax and enjoy the sounds and senses of the African Bush as night settles..
After dinner you will retire to your individual platform and enjoy sleeping under the star studded sky – your experience heightened as you share the wilderness at night, while safely guarded by our observant guides.
The rumble of the elephant passing by or the roar of the lion at the nearby waterhole, are the only noises that might disturb guests in this peaceful wilderness. The following morning, guests will enjoy a light snack after which they will depart back to Rhino Post for a hearty brunch.
The Sleep Outs are highly dependent on weather conditions. PLEASE be aware that should the weather be unfavourable on the day of the Sleep Out (heavy rain) or if there has been heavy rain in the days preceding the Sleep Out, guests may have to remain at Rhino Post (due to the platforms being inaccessible).
