Rhino Sands Safari Camp
Rhino Sands Safari Camp is set in the heart of Zululand, in the Kwa-Zulu Natal province of South Africa. The camp is located inside Manyoni Private Game Reserve and set on a peninsula of the Msunduze River. The reserve is one of the premier game-viewing destinations in Kwa-Zulu Natal and is home to the Big 5 along with cheetahs and pangolins, along with large numbers of all the more common African animals. The area is a well-known tourist destination, and is home to a number game reserves, beautiful remote beaches, the St. Lucia Wetland Park world heritage site, and the colorful Zulu nation. The closest airports are Richard’s Bay (1.5 hrs) and Durban King Shaka (3 hrs), both of which are an easy drive directly up the N2 freeway to the game reserve.
Accommodation:
The entire camp is set under canvas upon wooden platforms within the riverine forest. The main camp area features a reception office, casual bar lounge space, formal lounge, and both formal and casual dining areas. There is also a large boma area for guests to enjoy dining fireside beneath the stars.
Guests can stay in one of five luxurious custom-built private tented suites located amid beautiful riverine forest, each featuring a private living area, outdoor shower, and swimming pool.
