On a recent occasion, and with many thanks to our recent guests, Elias & Sarah Ambühl, we are showing you some unusual sequences of two leopards, mum and cub, where one of them is jumping agile on the tree to join the other.

Do you know which big city is closest to Rhulani Safari Lodge? It is Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. It is located about 40 km from us. This opens up possibilities for an additional city tour, or for an arrival or departure via Gaborone Airport.

The Swiss professional freestyle skier Elias Ambühl, finalist at the recent Winter Olympics in South Korea, spends with his wife Sarah his first safari holiday at Rhulani Safari Lodge. We took the opportunity for an interview with the well-known sportsman.

Once again, Rhulani Safari Lodge supported a conservation activity yesterday to protect the endangered rhinos. For our guests, this has become an unexpected, educational enrichment of their safari holidays. But the long, exciting day also made headlines for another reason.

It is a special moment when we find a big lion male, who is on a walk through the bush, and whom we can join for a while. Alasdair is following this lion, and so we hear him when all of a sudden he starts to roar - Look at listen!

By the end of March we are at the end of the summer and the rainy season. The weather was pretty crazy, but all our safaris took place, although sometimes not on all the earthy roads of Madikwe and sometimes at unusual times. Our guests enjoyed it anyway. Welcome to our monthly report from the bush.

Let’s have a look for a minute at a wonderful small dazzle of zebra, that is completely relaxed and is eating grass in the light in the open field of Madikwe.

In a secret action, exclusively sponsored by Rhulani Safari Lodge, a fully grown male tiger arrived at Madikwe Game Reserve early this morning. Madikwe is now the first game reserve in South Africa to offer this spectacular cat to our visitors, and it now receives an upgrade to be called a “Big 6” reserve.

Our guests usually believe that power supply is not so stable here in the African bush, and that electricity usually fails during a thunderstorm. This is actually true. But at Rhulani we have a potent power generator, which ensures a continuous power supply for the lodge operation.

It is certainly a major milestone for the staff of Rhulani Safario Lodge. All employees have decided via a new corporate pension plan to save for old age and protect themselves against life risks. We selected the plan “FundsAtWork” from Momentum.
