For a completely unrivalled wilderness experience, you can opt for a Sleep-Out adventure where you walk from Plains Camp to our Sleep-Out decks with guides. These 4m high elevated wooden platforms with shade cloth tents on the top level are where guests can sleep out under the stars. Imagine a giant treehouse with flush toilets and running water!

Our Sleep-Outs are the only place within the Kruger National Park that offers this unusual accommodation and pre-booking this activity is a must.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”equal-height-boxes”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”17751″ img_size=”medium” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_text_separator title=”Back to Rhino Post” title_align=”separator_align_left” border=”no”][vc_column_text]

If you opted for the Sleep-Out experience, Day 4 includes a walk back to Plains Camp, a quick shower to freshen up and another 20 to 30-min* inter-lodge transfer to Rhino Post Safari Lodge where you’ll spend your final night in the Kruger National Park before heading off to Victoria Falls.
