There is nothing quite like tracking a rhino on foot. The heightened senses, the controlled breathing, the adrenaline coursing through your veins as your ranger signals "freeze" — and there, just 30 metres ahead, a two-ton white rhino raises its head and stares directly at you.
The Sabi Sands Big Five Walking Safari offers this heart-pounding experience in one of Africa's most game-rich environments. Your team comprises a lead ranger (armed, SANParks-qualified) and a Shangaan tracker whose ancestors have walked this land for centuries.
