“With the internet making research so readily available, I tend to make all our arrangements independently, but Rhino Africa showed me why travel companies such as yours are still a preferred way to arrange travel.”
Karen Webber, Sydney, Australia
It’s true. The internet has all the information. All the facts and figures are there, you can see pictures, read reviews and even book directly online. And this is how most of us now book our travel in Europe or America. But Africa can be different. And that’s why we love it. It is an unpredictable continent and travel plans are not without their logistical challenges. For many people, travelling to Africa represents the fulfillment of a life long dream. As a long haul destination, flights are usually expensive which makes it all the more important that you make the most of your time here.
It’s all well and good to read a Trip Advisor review for a city centre hotel and book it through Expedia, but what about a safari experience which, at the top end, can cost as much as $3,000 a night? How would that experience differ from a $500 a night safari? What’s included and what’s excluded? Are you comparing marulas with marulas? And how many other safaris have those guys on Trip Advisor actually been on?
At Rhino Africa we believe in real expert advice. That’s why we invest heavily in educational trips each year. Our team of travel consultants have visited the properties and lodges that we recommend so they know how to ensure that you get the best value for money experience available. What’s more, they will be with you every step of the way giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll have a real person to speak to who will be able to answer all your questions – meet the Rhino Africa team here.
They will for example make sure that you arrive in time for your afternoon game drive and that you have enough time between your road transfer and your charter flight and that you don’t have to waste a night in transit while waiting for your connecting flight. They’ll also make sure that your journey times are realistic! Africa is a vast continent – what sounds like an amazing itinerary might not be physically possible due to the distances and transport schedules.
With so much choice, how do you decide which game reserve to visit? And how many nights should you stay? What would suit your style – traditional or modern? Is it the game viewing that is most important to you, or do you prefer fine wines and gourmet cuisine? Or both? And what’s the difference between a private game reserve and one of the National parks?
So many questions. Thankfully, we have the answers. From intricate logistics to dinner reservations, Rhino Africa has all the first-hand experience required to tailor-make your ultimate African adventure. Destination specific consultants create tailored itineraries ensuring there are no hidden surprises to spoil your time in Africa.
The Rhino Factor
At Rhino Africa we understand that a visit to Africa can represent a significant investment. That’s why we provide our clients with Financial Protection in the event of default by any of our suppliers – it won’t cost you a cent to protect your investment. Booking through a tour operator will also give you greater flexibility on ticket changes because tour operators will usually get a better class of ticket from the airlines.
Unlike other tour operators, Rhino Africa is based in Cape Town, with a satellite office in the UK. This means that we are on the ground here in Africa to give you all the advice and support you need.
And if you still think you can do a better job by yourself here’s the icing on the cake – it’s cheaper to book your itinerary with Rhino Africa!
Our pricing will include any special offers available in the market. So you don’t have to waste time searching for special offers. Not only do we act as an aggregator of those special offers, but because of our volume of business and our strong supplier relationships we are able to offer the most competitive rates – that’s our Price Guarantee.
Responsible Tourism
The entire team at Rhino Africa is passionate about Africa, its wildlife, its people and its huge potential. We believe your visit need not leave a dirty carbon footprint but rather it can help uplift local communities and conserve wildlife. Rhino Africa supports numerous organizations and charities working towards a better future for Africa. This includes Save The Rhino Trust, the Wildlife ACT Fund, the Good Work Foundation and many more. To see all the excellent work taking place due to your support of Rhino Africa, take a look here.

Rhino Africa arranged our trip in 2012….Cape Town, Jock Safari Lodge, and the highlight…Londolozi. Using Rhino Africa again for a return to Londolozi in November. Agent Samantha Myburgh listened and incorporated everything we wanted in our return to South Africa. I highly recommend Rhino Africa for service and knowledgeable agents.
Thanks Hulananni, for the reference, As you have personal experience, would you help em to share the over all expensive while your trip their. or the best time when we can enjoy these all activity and animals sight like Cape Town, Jock Safari Lodge etc.?
lloret de mar In Cape Town you must take the Robben Island trip to see where political prisoners were jailed for many years during the apartheid era. Stroll along the Victoria and Albert waterfront area. So many things to see and do….food, shops, music…nearby a world-class aquarium. In Cape Town I stayed at the Victoria and Albert hotel…right in the midst of all the waterfront activity. Wonderful morning buffet breakfast included….overlooking the harbor area.
Jock Safari Lodge is small and friendly. What I didn’t like is the requirement to stay ‘on the road’ through Kruger Park….so there’s no off-the-road/through the bush sighting of animals.
I can’t say enough about Londolozi. Pricey but so very worth it. 2 game drives daily in open vehicles with truly amazing trackers and rangers. What animal(s) do you want to see? They’ll try (and they can only try) to find them. Stay at least 4 or 5 days. I’ll be there 12 days on my upcoming trip. We stayed at Londolozi in the ’80s when we lived in South Africa. It’s quite different now than it was back then but the animals and staff are the same….amazing! wonderful! welcoming!
I like to travel to South Africa in the summer months (summer for the southern hemisphere) because I don’t like to be cold. In the southern hemisphere winter months it can get very cold…especially on the morning game drives which begin around 6 a.m. in the winter. Hulananni
