Exactly one month ago, “Rhulani”, the first female cheetah in Madikwe, was released into the wild and as started to explore the 75,000 hectares of the reserve.

The red hartebeest is the most colorful hartebeest, with black markings contrasting against its white abdomen and behind. It has a longer face than other subspecies, with complex curving horns joined at the base.

A Safari Lodge is often selected by guests to celebrate a special event, and thus, Rhulani is the perfect destination. Be part today of a birthday party, and dance and sing with Rhulani’s staff.

It happens frequently that elephants are blocking the way. These big animals use the road, because walking is easier for them here. Female elephants instinctively protect their babies, and elephant bulls just show their dominance and strength.‬

Rhulani has been nominated and recently shortlisted for this year’s “International Hotel Awards”. The winner will be announced in Portofino/Italy end of June.

In May 2015, the South African Butler Academy (SABA) performed the second “Butler course” at Rhulani. This time, Newton Cross and Braam West revised the internal processes, hygene in the kitchen, and the organization of storage rooms.

An impressive female white rhino was hurt by a too narrow foot collar. Rhulani sponsored the removal of the collar during the visit of private safaris from Switzerland.

The oxpecker stands guard while living and feeding on the rhinoceros, watching for danger.

One of Rhulani’s staff members is not often seen by our guests. A brief insight into the life of Michael, our nightguard.
