Only six days to go until the world's greatest sporting event kicks off, and at Rhulani Safari Lodge we are ready to celebrate every exciting moment together with our guests!
The FIFA World Cup brings people together from every corner of the globe, and there is no better place to enjoy this unique atmosphere than in the heart of the African bush. Throughout the tournament, our comfortable Leisure Room will become the gathering place for football fans, featuring our large-screen TV where guests can watch the matches live while enjoying refreshing drinks, delicious snacks, and great company.
To make the experience even more exciting, guests will have the opportunity to participate in our daily Match Prediction Challenge. Simply predict the result of one of the day's matches, and if your prediction is perfect, you will be invited to select a prize from our special Rhulani Gift Table. A fun way to test your football knowledge and perhaps take home a memorable souvenir!
Due to the time difference, several World Cup matches will take place late at night. For our passionate football supporters, this is no problem at all. Our bar will remain open throughout the night for selected matches, ensuring that guests can cheer for their favourite teams whenever they take to the field.
The opening of this year's World Cup will be particularly special for us here in South Africa. On 11 June at 9:00 PM local time, South Africa will face Mexico in the opening match of the tournament, setting the stage for a month of unforgettable football action. We look forward to sharing this historic moment with guests from around the world.
The accompanying photograph captures our enthusiastic Rhulani office team proudly posing with the World Cup trophy, symbolising the excitement building throughout the lodge as we count down to kick-off.
Why choose between a luxury safari and the world's biggest sporting event when you can enjoy both? Combine thrilling Big Five game drives, five-star luxury accommodation, exceptional hospitality, and the excitement of live World Cup football—all in one unforgettable holiday.
Book your stay at Rhulani Safari Lodge now and experience the perfect combination of African wildlife, luxury, relaxation, and world-class soccer.
