Watch these two peaceful elephants eating on a dry branch. Side by side. There is no food competition.

Rhulani Safari Lodge recently received three important hotel awards (we reported in detail). Now it’s time to confirm this great success and prepare for the next round of evaluation. We have been nominated for two awards in 2019.

After our three hotel awards in early November 2018, it’s time to celebrate this incredible success together with our Rhulani employees who made this possible for us. Thank you so much, dear Rhulani Team!

Offering not just the Big Five but also its own specialized Top 10, Madikwe Game Reserve is one of South Africa’s largest and most exclusive reserves. Guests of the luxury lodges get the run of Madikwe’s 750 sq km of open plains and classic bushveld, making this conservation success story a memorable experience – from animal sightings to sundowners.

For Rhulani Safari Lodge the first days of November were the time of awards. And once again, we were extremely successful. We won three prestigious awards in the luxury hotel industry. Rhulani’s owners attended personally the three award ceremonies and received a valuable trophy. We are very thankful and proud!

On the opposite side of the waterhole we discover a small black-backed jackal drinking water. But have a closer look: He spits out the water again. Funny!

Funny everyday life stories from the bush: Rhulani’s Manager Carla tells us when recently she heard her dog barking early in the morning, and she then involuntarily presented herself to our guests in pajamas…

Today we are on a wonderful game drive, sitting on the vehicle of our funny ranger Alasdair. In the open savannah a coalition of two cheetah males was found, which we are now approaching.

Experience the highlights of a stay at Rhulani Safari Lodge in 10 short episodes. Accompany Julia this afternoon at one of the most beautiful moments on a safari in the African bush. At a sunset, as we only experience it here, we take a break in the middle of the bush. Rhulani’s ranger Sean opens the bar and invites you to a sundowner.

Even those guests who are not interested in birds on a safari will remember our Guineafowls. They look like chickens and are a funny addition to a game drive!
