Rhulani Insights 278 – Guest feedback during the bushwalk break
Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.
Perhaps you saw the exciting moments of our bushwalk in the previous episodes. Now we're taking a break and would like to hear from our guest Oscar, who is participating in a bushwalk for the first time, how he would describe the experience so far.
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
As Oscar aptly describes it: We keep a greater distance from the animals compared to a safari in a vehicle, but in return, we have no protection and can't simply retreat to safety if we need to.
In other words, with every step you take away from the safety of the vehicle, you feel butterflies in your stomach more and more, which is certainly one of the best experiences you can have on a bushwalk. You become, in a sense, one with the surrounding nature.
Stay tuned for the next episode on 14 June when we will end our bushwalk and will have, once again, some excitement.
