F.A.Q.

By Air, Land and Water you can join Rhino Camp.
Air – the fastest way to go to Rhino Camp is landing into the Tashinga Airstrip (headquarter of African Parks) from Victoria Falls, Harare and all the National Parks in Zimbabwe; from Tashinga to Rhino Island is about 10’ speedboat or approximatelu 1h30’ game drive.
Land – from Harare in about 9 hours with a 4×4 vehicle and through the Chifudzi gate; thanks to the rehabilitation efforts of AP, Rhino Safari Camo is now easily accessible by land.
Land + Water – from Kariba to Rhino Camp is about 1 hour speed boat; or about 4 hours with the new African Parks ferry.

Zimbabwe’s Zambezi Valley has a subtropical climate, shaped by its low altitude and proximity to Lake Kariba.
Winter (March–August):
Cool, dry, and comfortable. Days are pleasantly warm (20–30°C) while nights, especially in June and July, can drop to around 5°C. Clear skies and sparse vegetation make this a great time for wildlife viewing.
Spring (September–October):
Hot and dry, with daytime temperatures reaching 35–45°C. Fresh green shoots appear as the bush anticipates the rains — a vibrant, transitional time.
Summer & Rain (November–February):
The rainy season brings dramatic storms, lush greenery, and new life. Temperatures can soar to the mid-40s before a storm, then drop to around 20°C afterwards. The bush bursts into color, full of young animals and rich birdlife.

Dress for comfort and practicality. Light cotton or breathable fabrics are best year-round — add a fleece or jacket for cool mornings and evenings (especially in winter).
Choose neutral colours like khaki, brown, or green to blend in with the bush — avoid bright colours, white, or black.
For activities, bring long sleeves and trousers for sun and thorn protection, plus comfortable, worn-in walking shoes.
A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are musts.
Evenings can be cool, so a light jumper and long sleeves help with warmth and mosquitoes.
In the rainy season, a light waterproof jacket will come in handy.

We provide hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion — all handmade in Zimbabwe using natural ingredients.
Please bring any additional toiletries or personal items you may need.

Yes. Rhino Safari Camp runs on solar power, and charging points are available in the bedrooms and the main boma.
If you’re travelling from a country with different plugs, please bring an adaptor. We also recommend carrying spare batteries so you don’t miss any great photographic moments while your devices are charging.

All guides and camp managers are trained in emergency first aid, and a well-equipped medical kit is always on hand. Emergency air evacuation cover can be arranged on request.
We recommend consulting your healthcare provider about malaria prophylaxis before travelling. During the hotter months, stay hydrated — fresh drinking water is always available.
Please bring any personal prescription medication, along with a spare copy of your prescription (and an extra pair of glasses if needed).
Rhino Safari Camp is situated in a wild environment. Our professional, armed guides are highly experienced and dedicated to ensuring your safety at all times.
All guests are required to have comprehensive travel and medical insurance for the duration of their stay.

We love welcoming young adventurers, but for safety reasons Rhino Safari Camp is open to children aged 12 years and older.

As the camp is completely unfenced and wildlife often wanders through the boma and chalet areas, we want to ensure that every guest — big or small — can enjoy the experience safely.
