3 Nights, 4 Days Rhino Tracking Package @ Fort Sesfontein Lodge
Detailed Itinerary
The Kunene Region of Namibia, previously known as the Kaokoland, is one of the last remaining strong-holds of free-roaming black rhino populations in the World.
Fort Sesfontein has partnered with the rhino rangers and the Sesfontein conservancy to offer a 3-night rhino tracking activity into this remote hinterland.
This is a 3-night/4-day itinerary:
Day 1
Arrival and dinner at Fort Sesfontein. This afternoon is at leisure.
Day 2
All meals are included.
Today, Fort Sesfontein will contact the conservancy and the rhino rangers to confirm the arrangements for the activity; including equipment, personnel, additional vehicle requirements and select a suitable area for the rhino tracking activity to take place in. The rhinos can move vast distances and are shy, so the rhino trackers are our best chance to be able to locate these illusive animals.
This will give the clients the opportunity to do a half-day activity with the Lodge, to visit the Himba, or a Sesfontein village visit, or relaxing next to the pool at the Lodge.
Day 3
All meals are included.
The Fort Sesfontein game viewer vehicle will take the clients out to meet with the conservancy concession holders. The rhino rangers will join the guests on the Fort Sesfontein vehicle and the party will head off into the concession area.
The tracking will be done both on vehicle, and if/when a black rhino is spotted and the rangers deem it safe, then the clients will be able to join them to track the rhinos further, on foot.
The rhino rangers have final say, as they are responsible for the safety of both the clients and the rhino, and the clients need to always adhere to their instructions.
We include: water, cool drinks and lunch packs for the clients
In the late afternoon, after extensive explorations of the ruggedly beautiful Damaraland area, the clients will drop the rhino rangers off at the ranger station and return to the lodge for dinner.
Day 4
After breakfast at the lodge, guests depart on their onward journey.
The Price is NAD 15,750.00 per person for a minimum of 3 guests, maximum of 4 guests.
We regret that due to the strenuous nature of this activity, no children under the age of 14 years are allowed.
Guests do need:
Good, sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots, sunscreen, hat with a brim, light, layered clothing, including a long-sleeved, light shirt with a pop up collar to protect against the sun and comfortable trousers.
Additional donations towards the rhino rangers and their conservation efforts would be greatly appreciated.
Activity in brief:
Fort Sesfontein has partnered with the rhino rangers and the Sesfontein conservancy to offer a 3-night rhino tracking activity into the remote Kunene region of Namibia, previously known as the Kaokoland.
This region is largely undeveloped and remains one of the last strong-holds of free-roaming black rhinos in the World.
This unique activity offers the guest a once in a life-time opportunity to track these critically endangered animals in their home territories.
In this 3-night itinerary clients will be able to explore the small hamlet of Sesfontein, meet the local Himba community and meet with the rhino rangers, whose responsibility it is to protect these animals from poachers.
Learn about the rhino from the rangers and even track these behemoths on foot!
