What should be considered when you meet an elephant on the street and you do not want to have an unpleasant encounter? This is a situation that which is very common on our safaris. Just look how easy it is.

Madikwe Game Reserve announces that this year’s edition of “Walking for Rhinos” will take place on Sunday morning of 22 September 2019. All visitors staying at Rhulani Safari Lodge on this day are invited to attend this special event - at no extra charge.

We are on Game Drive and are sitting on the vehicle with our ranger Alasdair. Let’s make a quick stop here and look at these zebras.

On a beautiful, sunny afternoon we meet a pack of wild dogs. They are resting a bit here and enjoy rolling around on the grass.

After the recent launch of our new SuitePad’s in the guest chalets, Rolf is giving us a short introduction today. He orders a massage in the room and shows us other exciting features of this new device.

Guests of Rhulani Safari Lodge will enjoy another significant improvement in the Luxury Private Chalet during their stay. Thanks to our new “SuitePad”, it is possible to easily communicate with us and to retrieve up-to-date information for your stay and comfort.

Not only the elephants, but also the rhinos, love to roll around in the damp mud. However, we do not often manage to attend such a game so often, as we do it here. A “Thank You” to our guest Robert Zimbler, who kept the camera ready.

Today we discover something really special. A small-spotted genet is sitting on a branch, and is posing in our spotlight. We almost never see this nocturnal cat as calm and relaxed as it was the case that night.

We hope that all our guests will spend a happy time with us, without an incident. However, should something happen, we count on the help and the Medical Emergency Service of Africa Safe-T, an additional, free service for our guests. Let’s learn more about it today.

While we are still in the middle of the rainy season, the month of February was a bit too dry for our nature and the animals. On the other hand our guests enjoyed many sunny days, magnificent sunsets and extraordinary highlights on safaris. The focus was on the release of a second pack of wild dogs in Madikwe. Welcome to our monthly report from the bush.
