Desert Rhino Camp
Desert Rhino Camp is run in conjunction with the local community and Save the Rhino Trust (SRT), so, in addition to guests gaining amazing insight into the ecology and conservation of this area, a portion of their revenue goes to the Trust and its conservation operations.
In a wide valley sometimes flush with grass, Desert Rhino Camp lies in the midst of the enormous Palmwag Concession, where trackers patrol and protect one of the largest free-ranging populations of the Endangered desert-adapted rhino in Africa. Rhino tracking on foot and by vehicle with these dedicated men is an original and exclusive wilderness experience; others include exploring the area on full-day outings, nature drives and walks.
The camp is not accessible on a self-drive basis. For any self-drive itinerary, vehicles need to be parked at Twee Palms on the C43, to the North of Palmwag Lodge (signposted as “Desert Rhino Camp Pick-Up Point”). Parking at own risk. A Desert Rhino Camp representative will meet guests at Twee Palms for departure at 14:30. Guests need to arrive at Twee Palms no later than 14:00 in order to be on time for the onward scheduled road transfer to camp. It is an approximate 2.5 hour nature drive through the Palmwag Concession to Desert Rhino Camp.
On the day of departure, for the return transfers, the camp will make the necessary arrangements and advise guests of the timings for their return to the pick-up point back at Twee Palms, at no additional cost. Note that these times are not scheduled and said arrangements are to be discussed whilst in camp with camp management. Should specific times be required, these would need to be pre-arranged prior to arrival in camp with your Journey Specialist.
Closer to the time of travel, we recommend that you contact your travel consultant with regards to road conditions which may be affected by seasonal changes, e.g. high rains.
