RhinoLand Safari
"We at Sims Safaris have traveled over to South Africa to hunt with Rhino land a total of 4 times dating back to 2010 and have sent countless friends and clients to this great operation. If you are looking for a place to take the family we do highly recommend you check out RhinoLand Safaris. Abundance amounts of wildlife, world class food and accommodations, wet bar, swimming pool, and so much more." McKenzie Sims
WE ARE FAMILY

Lephalale is located 200 miles northwest of Johannesburg. Rhinoland Safari Lodge is situated in typical African bushveld which varies from open country to very dense bush. Creeks and gullies open into marsh areas which make hunting a unique and real African experience.
The diversity of the terrain supports a large variety of birds and mammals. Animals like elephant, white rhino, nyala, zebra, hippo and the rare black rhino are just some of the wildlife you can encounter.
You will be accommodated in a luxurious game lodge with comfortable air-conditioned chalets with en-suite bathroom surrounding the pool area. There is an open-air bar, lounge and dining area under thatch for your leisure. Excellent cuisine, with personal supervision by a qualified chef and friendly African staff, awaits you.

Hunting begins either on foot or by vehicle. However, when fresh tracks or animals are spotted, stalking on foot presents
an exciting challenge. Rifle, shotgun, pistolor bow may be used. Photo Safaris are welcome. When an animal is shot it is immediately transported to the camp to be skinned and treated in preparation for the trophy. For avid trophy hunters there is a void in certain African animal species. Rhinoland has filled that gap by making available the much sought after trophies of White Rhino, Blesbok, Waterbuck, Zebra, Nyala, Kudu, Gemsbok, Warthog, Sable Antelope, Impala, Eland and many others.
Rhinoland conducts safaris throughout the year depending on your particular requirements. Over 30 species of game are available including those that are only obtainable in South Africa.
Professionalism and strict maintenance of accommodation, equipment and vehicles are of paramount importance to us.
The complete success of your safari is our prime concern and our booking agent and dedicated personnel will organize your safari to meet your specific requirements.
ON SAFARI
HUNTING SEASON – CLIMATE We operate all year round depending on what and where you want to hunt. Generally the climate is pleasant, September, October and November being the hotter months of the year, while the months of June, July and August have cool nights and pleasant days.
ORGANISING YOUR SAFARI The complete success and enjoyment of your safari is our prime concern. Through dedication, experience, we will organize your safari to meet all your personal requirements. Your safari can be customized to fit your needs and trophies you wish to take.
PROFESSIONAL HUNTERS Our Professional Hunters are registered according to South African law and are members of the Professional Hunters Association of South Africa. They are highly experienced with an intimate knowledge of the bush and the game. With their competence and dedication you can be assured of a highly professional service to find the best trophies possible for you.
HUNTING METHODS A hunting day is normally split in two sessions, early morning and afternoon. Hunting starts by vehicle but as soon as tracks are discovered or trophy animals are spotted, they are approached on foot, which represents an exciting challenge. Any animal shot is immediately transported to the camp to be skinned and treated in order to prepare the trophy.
HEALTH Tropical diseases like malaria and yellow fever can occur in our hunting areas. Check with your outfitter on the area and with your personal physician on the necessary preventive medication. We carry a full medical emergency kit at all times. In both concession areas we are less than 30 minutes away from modern medical facilities. Remember to bring
your own personal medication.
HUNTING WEAPONS/IMPORT PERMITS Do discuss your rifle calibres with your outfitter according to the animals you will take. Remember that shot placement by far outweighs ballistics. In South Africa a temporary import permit is needed for guns and ammunitions. Your outfitter will provide you with the necessary information. Make sure that you bring sufficient ammunition with you as some calibres are not readily available locally.
TROPHY FEE Trophy fees are only payable for animals that are actually hunted. Wounded animals are to be paid in full. All animals listed on our trophy list can be hunted on a 5, 7, 10 and 14 day safari as marked.
No VAT. (Value added tax) payable on trophy fees.
GUN RENTAL Although it is always preferable to bring you own weapons on safari, we do have guns and shotguns available for rent at a nominal cost. Ammunition is charged for separately.
