Rhino Walking Safaris & Plains Camp
Plains Camp is situated in the heart of Isibindi's 12,000 hectare concession. With a maximum of eight people only (no children under 12), guests are ensured of a quality, pristine wilderness experience.
For a totally unique experience, guests wanting something different will be able to walk to our Sleepouts – elevated wooden platforms 4metres high where the night will be spent sleeping outdoors under the stars! Guests leave Plains Camp in the late afternoon and arrive at the platforms in the early evening carrying a lightweight rucksack containing a change of clothes and refreshments.
Sleep Outs are highly dependant on weather conditions. Be aware that should the weather be unfavourable on the day of the Sleep Out (heavy rain) or if there has been heavy rain in the days preceding the Sleep Out, guests may have to remain at Plains Camp (due to the platforms being inaccessible).
To ensure a varying and complete concession experience, isibindi suggests that guests participate in a trail that encompasses Rhino Post Safari Lodge (game drives), Plains Camp (primarily walking) and Sleepouts, as each type of accommodation and activity is different from the other.

Accommodation
Plains Camp has four luxury African explorer-style tents with en-suite (hot running water) and all the comforts of home, plus the African Wilderness on your doorstep. Built in authentic pioneer tradition it has the serenity of a 19th century naturalists retreat, nestled in an Acacia Knob thorn thicket and overlooking the spectacular Timbitene plain and waterhole.

Activities
Walking trails are limited to eight guests who are guided by two armed rangers. The senior guides hold the highest guiding qualification possible in South Africa. Departures are before breakfast and again in the late afternoon to avoid the midday heat, with the average walk being between three and four hours, although the length of the walks depend on the interest and fitness of the guests.
