With another Rhino notching event, we concluded our conservation activities for 2016 on 9 December, together with Rhulani’s guests. A small, white rhino was registered, equipped with microchips and notched at the ears, which made an important contribution to the safety of this endangered animal species.

Rejuvenate, relax and regain energy in beautiful surroundings. I am offering Yoga & Meditation in Nature at Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve, either as a Free Daily Group class after breakfast, or as a Private Yoga session in the comfort of your chalet (to be booked).

It didn’t take long until I spotted the first Wildlife at Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe. I literally just walked five steps to the outdoor lounge area, which offers an amazing view of Rhulani’s own waterhole, right in front of the lodge.

We observe a wonderful giraffe when approachat the pan, and see how difficult it is for this animal with the long lengs to get into a comfortable drinking position. The giraffe quickly moves the head up again in order to manage the blood pressure in the brain.

I love to explore the area of Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe during sunset and early evening. After reading a book on my terrace with amazing views of the bushveld in Madikwe Game Reserve I am heading out in search for the perfect sunset shot.

In Rhulani’s backyard, the are for our employees, there are two so-called “Wendy Houses”. These wooden cottages are quite comfortable and serve as a place to stay for taxicabs, drivers, tour guides, cooks, pilots or temporary employees. Rolf will take you on a tour today.

I always love the atmosphere when Rhulani’s guests are getting spoilt with a Boma Dinner. The “Boma” is an outdoor dining area, mostly round-shaped, with a fireplace.

The largest animal In Madikwe meets with one of the smallest at the water hole. The big elephant bull is drinking water, and next to him a little dung beetle rolls his ball. A funny encounter!

It was time to embark on an adventure – a real adventure – in the South African bush. I wanted to combine all of my talents and skills while travelling and being of service as a Yoga and Meditation Teacher.

In a just normal November month with, presumambly, no highlights, there was always something going on at Rhulani: heat, sun, rain, lightning, two prestigious award winnings, and the most important thing: many satisfied guests. Here are the latest statistics about our bush game drives from last month.
