About the Brand: Why We Love Rhino Sands Safari Camp

Conservation, safaris and discovering South Africa’s Zululand - welcome to Rhino Sands Safari Camp. This five-star tented camp is eco-orientated and places the well-being of nature first and foremost. It is here that a harmonic balance between humanity and the wilds of South Africa can be found.

Discover Zululand

Rhino Sands finds its connection to nature in the Manyoni Private Game Reserve and its 57,000 acres. Surrounded by South African flora renowned for its beauty, this accommodation is ideal for nature lovers wanting a safari escape. With an ethos that emphasises connection – familial, within oneself and with the environment – Rhino Sands encourages lifelong bonds with nature, conservation and the admiration of the beauty of South Africa.

Luxury Tents Hidden in Nature

Rhino Sands Safari Camp has been artfully designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding bushveld, mindful of its effect on the ecosystem. 

The five tented suites prioritise luxury, seclusion and comfort. Each tent has been designed to include a lounge, bathroom with a bathtub and indoor and outdoor showers, private deck with a plunge pool, and dreamy bedroom. Guests are invited to enjoy outdoor showers in the fresh air or take a relaxing bath with birds chattering in the background and views of indigenous trees providing ample privacy. 

Guests have access to the main camp which features a reception, lounge, bar and vast selection of dining areas. For a truly immersive experience, guests can dine at the boma and explore the camp via its raised wooden walkways which weave and traverse through the forest. Here, the outdoors becomes part of the indoor living areas and nature encroaches to reclaim and complement the space.

When night falls over Zululand, nocturnal animals fill the landscape with their songs and roars. Wild lions make their voices known, hyaenas chatter and laugh, and owls hoot and hum melodies to put guests to sleep. At Rhino Sands Safari Camp, travellers will experience and cultivate a new relationship with nature that they will remember for a lifetime. 

Safari Adventures at Rhino Sands

Arise to a chorus of birds that promise an incredible day spent exploring South Africa’s flora and fauna. Game drives keep guests occupied for two and a half to three hours and promise an expert-guided experience of prime game viewing. 

South Africa’s pride and joy – its notorious Big Five – can be spotted by watchful guests. Elephants at watering holes, lions basking in the sun, rhinos dozing under trees, leopards gazing down from their branches, and buffalos munching on grass are sure to wow safari-goers and tick off must-see animals on their bucket list.

Rhino Sands also offers activities that enable guests to experience Zululand and its ecosystem. For those passionate about conservation, there’s the rhino horn trimming or the Pangolin experience. Get behind the scenes to learn how to read nature and tracks in the sand with expert trackers. 

Dining at Rhino Sands

After a long day spent on the plains of Manyoni, guests can enjoy South African delicacies and cuisine bound to excite tastebuds. Gather around the campfire and share stories of the day’s adventures – a true safari pastime that finds echoes across South Africa. Dinner is served over three courses and chefs cater to a vast array of options and preferences. Indulge in South African wines, known worldwide and a point of pride throughout the country.

Early morning wake-up calls are followed by coffee, tea and delicious treats by the fire. Guests can then set off on a morning game drive, followed by a mid-morning breakfast, consisting of a continental tray and a cooked-to-order food option. A two-course lunch is served to prepare safari-goers for another round of the bush and wildlife spotting.

Safari sundowners are a highlight of the day, where guests are invited to step out of the safari vehicles and enjoy a tasteful cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon and night settles over Zululand.
