For those seeking the thrill of safari adventure, few experiences rival the awe of encountering the renowned Big Five: elephants, Buffalo, Lions, Leopards, and Rhinos. Embarking on a Big Five safari offers an extraordinary opportunity to witness Africa’s most iconic wildlife and immerse yourself in the heart of the continent’s spectacular ecosystems.
Each journey
is enriched by the presence of an expert guide, whose intimate knowledge of the
land and its inhabitants brings the wilderness to life.
Just an hour from Pretoria and Johannesburg, Dinokeng offers a safari escape without the long travel time. As Gauteng’s only Big 5 reserve, it’s the perfect destination for a spontaneous weekend in the wild.
Safari-goers can choose from self-drive routes, guided game drives, horseback trails, or birding tours.
From couples’ retreats to
family-friendly breaks, Dinokeng’s variety of accommodation—luxury lodges,
self-catering, glamping, and camping—means there’s something for everyone.
Don’t miss the Rusty Rhino Book Corner—a place where
you can “donate them to the Rhino and grab some new stories to take home.”
Every cent collected goes directly to the Dinokeng Anti-Poaching Unit (APU),
supporting their vital work. Your generosity helps fund essentials like feeding
the dogs that track snares, as well as advanced tools such as heat-detecting
drones used to stop poachers in their tracks.
At Rusty Rhino, shopping not only fills your basket—it helps
protect the wildlife that makes Dinokeng so special.
