Archery: Step into the footsteps of ancient hunters and warriors
Try your hand at archery, one of humankind’s oldest skills. At Rhulani Safari Lodge, this exciting activity allows you to test your aim, focus your mind, and enjoy the thrill of sending an arrow flying across the African bushveld.
Archery holds a deep cultural connection to Southern Africa’s history. For thousands of years, the San people (Bushmen) relied on the bow and arrow for survival, using their finely crafted weapons to hunt wildlife with remarkable skill and respect for nature. This tradition not only provided food but also became a symbol of harmony between people and the wilderness. Today, archery is enjoyed around the world as a sport and a mindful practice that combines strength, balance, and concentration.
At Rhulani, you will receive a short introduction from your guide before practicing your technique with modern equipment designed for comfort and accuracy. Under the open African sky, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the bush, you will quickly discover why archery is both relaxing and exhilarating.
Archery is a wonderful activity for children and their parents alike. Whether you are aiming for the bull’s-eye or simply enjoying the rhythm of bow and arrow, this experience is a fun way for families to share moments together while connecting with Africa’s cultural heritage.
