Ground transfer

Rhino Sands has partnered with a transfer company owned and operated by a businessman from our local community. Igula Tours has been providing transfers for Rhino Sands guests since we opened our doors in 2017. They offer professional and reliable service and competitive rates. Rhino Sands offers our guests the opportunity to book these transfers through us.

Self-drive

Self-drives in South Africa are possible for adventurous guests and Rhino Sands is straightforward to find, however we always recommend double checking our written driving directions with GPS navigation which can take you on some unlikely and unsuggested routes. The reserve road to the camp is unpaved. We suggest guests avoid bringing or renting vehicles with low clearance, however a 4×4 is not required. Please be aware that cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in South Africa. Rhino Sands strongly suggests that our guests refrain from travelling on freeways after dark for safety concerns. Access to Rhino Sands includes driving on sections of freeway with only two lanes, and drivers should be alert to the challenges of passing large trucks, aggressive drivers on the road, and people and livestock on the side of the road. Large and well-lit petrol stations along the route are good places to fill up with fuel, use the restroom and grab a drink or snack.
