Rhino Safari Camp

Rhino Safari Camp is a small lodge run by owner, Jenny Nobes, whose gracious hosting and enthusiasm for the area and its wildlife is quite humbling. Rhino Island is an island in Matusadona National Park, on the shores of Lake Kariba. When water levels are low, the island is linked to the mainland via a narrow land bridge which allows the movement of game to and fro; when levels are high it's cut off by a narrow channel.

Our view of Rhino Safari Camp

Rhino Island is a great place to spend two or three nights – and the vast expanse of water all around differentiates it from many safari camps in drier areas.

Rhino Safari Camp is a simple camp which (due primarily to Zimbabwe's recent troubled past) hasn't had the investment it's needed in recent years; some of the camp's fabric feels quite tired. However, Jenny's great hospitality, coupled with high-quality guiding and good game-viewing go a long way to make up for this. It's remote, rustic and won't appeal to everyone, but does make a really authentic safari experience.
