Rhino Post is constructed using natural, removable materials like stone, wood, and canvas to ensure the lodge leaves a minimal footprint on its private concession. Notten’s Bush Camp further reduces its environmental impact by using candlelight and lanterns instead of electricity in the suites, preserving the natural state of the bushveld.
