Interesting black rhino tracking in beautiful landscape & newly refurbished camp:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Our two families (each with a teen) stayed at this \u201cclassic\u201d Wilderness camp two nights for viewing the endangered black rhino (not to confuse with the rather common white rhino \u2026). We did this on the occasion of our brilliant <\/span><\/span>B<\/span><\/span>otswana, Namibia and Victoria Falls fly-in safari guided expertly by Ultimate Safaris<\/a> (sightings included the Big 5, cheetah, wild dog and sitatunga)<\/span><\/span>.

<\/span><\/span>The camp is situated on a windy (at least during our stay) plain amongst rocky hills. Plus, it was far away from any civilization. The tents (total of eight) had been refurbished recently. And they should satisfy also demanding travelers. You find here a tented restaurant (one long table) and a lounge area. Apart from this there is no more public space. All meals are included in the rate. The arrangement included a (simple) breakfast, lunch (we had a delicious picnic during a drive), (good) cake in the afternoon and a served dinner (we had twice tasty meat).

<\/span>We considered service as good, the staff usually was helpful and courteous. Activities in this camp are (of course) focused on tracking the endangered black rhino by vehicle. In case of success there is more tracking on foot. As these animals are more aggressive than their counterpart (the white rhino) you cannot go really close. Yet it was nevertheless quite something!

<\/span>
The bottom line is a good camp in beautiful surroundings (when you like rocks) with a somewhat different game viewing (focused on black rhinos).
