Ready to discover the mysteries of the African night

Ready to discover the mysteries of the African night

Spend the next 2 full captivating days at Rhino Post, where you have the privilege of exploring a vast 12,000-hectare private concession within the Kruger National Park. This exclusive access allows for the unique experience of night game drives, offering a rare opportunity to witness the nocturnal wonders of the African bush.

During the day, enjoy leisurely game drives or relax at the lodge, taking in the serene surroundings. As the sun sets, prepare for the thrill of a night safari, where the landscape transforms under the stars, and the elusive nightlife comes alive. From prowling predators to the hypnotic calls of night birds, every moment promises to be unforgettable.

For those seeking a different perspective, participating in a night drive can reveal a side of the park that daytime visitors rarely see. On the other hand, if you prefer a quieter time, spending the evening at the lodge under the starry skies can be equally rewarding.
