Rhino Post FAQs

The tap water is filtered, treated and safe to drink at Rhino Post Safari Lodge.

Chilled water is freely available from the bar at all of our lodges, and you will be given glass bottles which the bar staff will be happy to refill for you at any time for the duration of your stay. These bottles will be sterilised and re-used on your departure. We do not encourage the use of plastic and have moved to glass in the interests of conservation. Thermo water bottles which keep water chilled for up to 12 hours are also available for purchase at the lodge and can be refilled at the bar. We keep a small number of sealed plastic bottles of water for guests to purchase if they do not want to make use of the filtered water, but please note that we do charge for this – think of it as a conservation levy!

Fixed international adaptors are available in all of the rooms. If you are at the beginning of your holiday in South Africa and may have further need of an adaptor after you leave us, you are welcome to purchase one from the curio shop.

From Rhino Post Safari Lodge, yes. You are welcome to drive on any of the tourist roads within the park between the normal gate opening and closing times. Please inform one of the staff if you intend going for a drive and do not plan to be back in time for the evening game drive. For your safety, and to keep the impact on the concession to a minimum, private vehicles may not travel on the concession other than the access road to Rhino Post Safari Lodge.

It is for this reason too that guests of Plains Camp are collected from Rhino Post Safari Lodge and may not take their private vehicles through to the trails camp. We ask that guests at Plains Camp respect this and understand that day trips in and out of Plains Camp would be damaging to the roads, and should only be requested in case of emergency.

There is no age restriction on accommodation, children aged 6 and older may join shared game drives. Children under 6 require a private game drive. This is in the best interests of the child as animals react with curiosity toward small children, especially if they should cry out. This means that at a potentially dangerous sighting, the vehicle is forced to leave the sighting for the safety of the child.

Babysitters are available on request. Bookings must be made with management 18 hours in advance.

A morning babysitter will take care of your child/ren from 06h00 when the morning drive departs, until 13h30. An evening babysitter will be available from 14h30 until 22h00. A babysitting fee will be charged to your bill – please confirm this fee when arranging your babysitter. Fees are charged per shift, and per babysitter – not per child.
