Since 2014 Rhulani Safari Lodge has been included in the prestigious elections for the "World Luxury Hotel Awards", and also this year we made it to the final round. This was made possible by consistently high quality at a 5-star level, even during the challenging COVID-19 crisis, as well as by our loyal customers who gave us their vote. For the eighth time in a row, Rhulani Safari Lodge was given the "Best Luxury Bush Lodge - Global Winner" award. 

"To win eight times in a row is a great achievement", says Rhulani's owner Rolf Steiner. "It shows that the Rhulani project is not a fly in the air for us, but that we have a long-term vision. Even a pandemic that has hardly brought us guests to South Africa for a year and a half cannot upset us."

The World Luxury Hotel Awards recognize establishments for world-class service excellence. Awards are presented on a country, regional, continent and global basis. Winners are selected by public votes online, providing true recognition that reflects the hard work and dedication exhibited by staff.

Rolf says: "For a few weeks now we have been seeing a steeply upward booking intensity at Rhulani. It gives me the impression that we are at the end of the pandemic and that people finally want to travel again, including to South Africa. We are very happy that with this award we are giving a sign of our unbroken quality, and we are already looking forward to a successful next year with many unforgettable moments in the African bush together with our guests."
