The experience
The safari starts with a drive into the national park in a private vehicle, where you'll meet the guides and trackers who've already spent time scouting for rhinos earlier in the day. After a briefing on what to expect and how to stay safe during the encounter, you're driven to the area where the trackers have pinpointed the white rhinos. This advance work means you're not searching blindly: the guides know where the animals are.
The walk itself is the heart of the experience: you move on foot toward the rhinos with your guide and tracker, getting closer than you would from a vehicle. White rhinos are endangered, and seeing one in its habitat is rare. The trackers read the landscape and the animals' behavior, adjusting your approach so the encounter is both memorable and respectful of the animals. The whole outing runs two to three hours, including the drive in and the time spent tracking and observing.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Youth (12 to 17 years); Child (5 to 11 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What's the difference between a rhino walk and a regular game drive safari?
A rhino walk gets you out of the vehicle to move on foot toward the rhinos with a tracker, rather than viewing wildlife from a safari car. The trackers have already located the rhinos before you arrive, so you're walking to a known spot rather than searching the park.
How close do you actually get to the white rhinos?
The guides and trackers manage your approach based on the rhino's behavior and position, bringing you close enough for a genuine encounter while keeping both you and the animal safe. The exact distance depends on how the rhino responds to your presence.
What happens if the trackers don't find a rhino that day?
The trackers scout the park before your arrival to locate rhinos, which greatly increases the chances of a sighting. The guides will take you to the area where they've found them and adjust the walk based on current conditions.
Is the walk physically demanding?
The experience is suitable for all physical fitness levels. The walk is on natural terrain in the park, and the pace is set by the guides based on the group's ability and the rhino's location.
