Home / Kruger Park Sleep-Outs

For a totally unrivalled wilderness experience, guests can walk from Plains Camp @ Rhino Walking Safaris to our Sleep-Out decks that overlook the Xiteveteve waterhole and provide the ultimate in a safari bush experience. These 4 meter-high elevated wooden platforms with tents on the top level offer guests the unique opportunity to sleep out under the stars! The only place in the Kruger National Park offering this unusual accommodation, you are sure to remember your night under the African sky.

A night to remember

Offered as part of the walking trail experience from Plains Camp or as an additional activity from Rhino Post Safari Lodge (by prior arrangement). Guests depart on foot from Plains Camp to the platforms arriving in the early evening (approximately one hour walk). Guests carry a lightweight rucksack containing a change of clothes. Sundowners are enjoyed on the platforms overlooking the waterhole as your dinner is cooked over an open fire. Guests sleep on individual decks that are connected by ladders and walkways to the bathrooms and main deck.

Sleep-Outs are entirely weather dependent. The feasibility is affected not only by rain on the day, but also in the day or two prior as the decks are built in a very sensitive soil area. The area cannot be serviced after heavy rains without a high level of erosion risk to the access road. As Plains Camp is a small camp, private activities are unfortunately not available.

Everything you need

  • 4 platforms with two mattresses per platform – sleeping bags and duvets are provided
  • Elevated communal dining area
  • Accommodates 8 guests per Sleep-Out
  • 2 armed rangers per Sleep-Out
  • Overlooks the Xiteveteve waterhole
  • 2 bathrooms with hot showers and flushing toilets
WHO GETS TO DO THE SLEEP-OUT ACTIVITY?

It is important to note that if the first guest to reserve their trail requests the Sleep-Out, then all subsequent reservations will be required to participate. Likewise, if the first guest to reserve their trail makes it clear that they do not want to do a Sleep-Out, then all subsequent reservations for those dates will be unable to book a Sleep-Out from Plains Camp. Unfortunately, children under the age of 8 may not participate in the Sleep-Out activity.
