EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW
The Sukulu Rhino Experience
A half-day trip from Livingstone or Victoria Falls into a private conservation reserve, where you'll track rhino on foot, watch them feed at close range, and learn how a once-degraded stretch of land was turned into a thriving wildlife sanctuary. It's one of the few places in the region where you can get this close to rhino outside a vehicle.

You'll also learn about the reserve's wider conservation work, including anti-poaching efforts, breeding programmes, and the range of species that call Sukulu home — from Cape buffalo down to the small Oribi antelope, alongside sable antelope, black lechwe, impala, and puku.
