Rhulani is an unfenced lodge, and therefore our guests are escorted in the dark by your Ranger. Today we experience the special feeling and walk from the main area to room 9 at night.

We just admired this powerful lion peacefully resting in the grass. Only later we realized that he got injured earlier that day after a fierce fight probably with his brother.

Not very often you get to see a beautiful leopard in Madikwe like this one, and much less one who for so long quietly drinks water. Lately, this young male leopard is quite often seen at the watering hole, around the same time.

Let’s talk today about the lion population in Madikwe and the chances to see them when you are on game drive with us.

Musth (or must) is a periodic condition in bull elephants, characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.

A beautiful sighting where two white rhinos step out of the bushes, and quietly cross the road in front of us.

Today we enjoy on our afternoon game drive a herd of elephants, which we find here at Tlou dam in the dry winter season.

In the afternoon a few elephants visit the waterhole and are posing perfectly in front of us. On the calm water surface we observe a beautiful reflection of the drinking elephants.

The satellite collar was found in the bushes on June 13, and thus the cheetah female “Rhulani” declared dead. As the body was never found, why is it certain that the cheetah is really dead? What will happen now with the project?

We meet a very curious zebra. Not like some other zebras, it just stays with us, does not run away and looks at us curiously, wagging its tail.
