Rhino Tracking On Foot (additional cost)

A guide and tracker lead this morning outing at Phinda, spent entirely on foot in search of black rhino, an endangered species that roams the reserve's thicket. Guests wear sturdy walking shoes and follow dung piles, rubbed trees and footprints, learning to read what these marks reveal about a rhino's recent movements. The pace is slow and quiet, dictated by wind direction and terrain rather than a set route. There is no guarantee of a sighting; the value lies in the tracking itself, taught step by step by rangers who work this ground daily. It runs as an add-on beyond standard game drives.
