Experiences that Empower and Protect
A deep passion for wildlife and nature is what drives us at Rhino Ridge. The activities we will offer from the second half of 2025 are all designed to contribute to conservation and the empowerment of the communities living on the farm, who will share their knowledge with you on game drives or excursions.
Alternatively, you can explore Rhino Ridge on your own - hiking, cycling or bird spotting.
Game Drive
Experience the Kalahari landscape and its inhabitants: Rhino Ridge is home to more than 30 species of Plains Game including Giraffe, Zebra, Eland, Oryx, Wildebeest and Ostrich. See how many you can spot on a game drive with one of our guides, who will share his knowledge of the Flora and Fauna with you along the way.
The expedition starts either in the morning or late afternoon - giving you the opportunity to catch a magical sunrise or sunset. Coffee, tea and rusks will enhance the experience for early risers. Those who prefer to venture out later in the day will enjoy a sundowner drink and snacks.

Pangolin Tracking
Did you know that the pangolin is one of the most trafficked animals in the world? Rhino Ridge is home to this endangered species and dedicated to its protection. Accompany our guide on a night track and you may encounter this elusive nocturnal scaly anteater. During your expedition through the bush you will learn about tracking in general, about the pangolin, and why they are so hard to find. Please note that, as always in the wild, sightings are not guaranteed - this is part of the thrill.
To give you the best chance of seeing pangolins, tracking is done between 10pm and 6am during the summer months and between 5pm and 11pm during the winter months.
