Rhulani Safari Lodge has revised the list of benefits and services included in the daily rate and has further enhanced its attractiveness to our guests. From 2019, guests will enjoy that local drinks, such as soft drinks, water but also local wines and spirits, will be included in the price.

"With the expansion of the included services, we pursue two goals," says Rhulani's owner Rolf Steiner. "First, we want to continuously improve the quality of our product, and secondly, we want the amount our guests have to pay at check-out to be as small as possible." After a perfect safari stay, we want to avoid that guests pay a huge bill at the front desk.”

Here are just a few examples from last year: A Nespresso coffee machine has been installed in each chalet, so that guests can prepare a delicious coffee in their own room for free. Internet quality has been significantly improved by a new service based on a fiber backbone, so there is now stable and quick wifi everywhere. At sunset, there is an aperitif in the bush, the so-called "Sundowner", offered by Rhulani.

Guests can look forward to a further big change from 1 January 2019: Selected local drinks will no longer be charged, which will include a personal selection of wines, spirits, soft drinks and tea and coffees. Likewise, the consumption from the minibar in the guest chalet will be at no additional cost.
