LATE ARRIVALS

Rhino Post Safari Lodge: After Gate Closing (Self Drive Only): The Kruger National Park has several entrance gates, although Rhino Walking Safari guests are only allowed to enter through Paul Kruger Gate, as it is the closest to the lodge. Guests must enter the Kruger Gate 45 minutes before closing time to allow sufficient time to drive to Rhino Post Safari Lodge. Guests who know in advance that they will be unable to make the gate 45-minutes before closing time can arrive as late as 7pm. There will, however, be a surcharge per vehicle for an escort to accompany guests to the lodge. Prior arrangements must be made to ensure there is an escort available.

Plains Camp: Guests arriving after 14h00 will be obliged to spend their first night at Rhino Post Safari Lodge and will be charged the difference in rate between Plains Camp and Rhino Post Safari Lodge. Otherwise they will be transferred to Plains Camp after the evening drive at about 8pm!!!
