In the middle of the night we find a lion couple on their honeymoon. Peace and idyll around us. You can clearly see how the male picks up the scent of his partner and confirms this with the typical “Flehmen grimace”.

At Rhulani we continue to grow. Our manager Shade-Leigh has a new, private office, which ensures that there is a bit more peace and privacy, and daily work around reservations and administration are kept away from manager’s tasks.

Even guests who come to us repeatedly were quite surprised by this sighting. “What kind of animal was that?” everyone asked themselves as Willlem led the vehicle near the fence line that borders the park and this unusual creature was there and appeared to us to be completely relaxed. A small, dark, cat-like animal. The African bush is home to many little secrets.
