Rhino Post’s “base” lodge is a luxurious collection of wooden buildings, styled in colonial bush opulence. Guests can base themselves at the 16 bed luxury Rhino Post Safari Lodge, or travel to Plain’s Camp for walking safaris – or even spend a night sleeping out under the stars. Staying at Rhino Post means you get access to the Kruger Park’s roads even after the gates have shut for the night.
