The camp is set in an achingly beautiful area. Tracking temperamental and ornery black rhino on foot is a real kick! Evenings around the camp fire, you get to chat with staff members about the Save the Rhino Trust and learn about their important charge of protecting some of the world's last free roaming black rhino. This is an eye-opener for guests to experience real conservation in a remote and beautiful corner of the world.
