In the middle of the day, when it is hot and the sun is blazing, the antelopes are no longer very active. They are resting in the shade. So also a group of eland antelopes like we are seeing them today in the green nature of summer time. No special sighting, but given the rarity of these animals in Madikwe Reserve, it is actually a highlight!

At the entrance of Rhulani Safari Lodge. There is a small pond here and as Willem shows us today, there are new tadpoles, actually hundreds of them. So within a short time we will get young frogs, or better to say, as Willem knows, they will become toads. Let’s have a look.

There he stands, the old buffalo, peering out from between the bushes with a fierce look. The dangerous, massive animal does not get nervous at our presence. He shows himself in full size, crossing the road in front of us.

Did you know that a Warthog mother can have up to 6 piglets per litter? Rhulani’s ranger Dean tells us today about newborn, young Warthogs, which are running around at the waterhole full of life and are not yet afraid of the many dangers that lurk in nature.

We often get questions from concerned guests about how secure the power supply is during a safari stay in Rhulani, mainly because South Africa is now shut down for a few hours every day and the word “load shedding” has become known worldwide. In Rhulani, however, we have ensured safety and stability through an amazingly simple method: electricity thanks to biogas on the basis of elephant dung.

Quite an impressive meeting with this male lion resting here on the water’s edge. Ranger Dean puts himself in the appropriate viewing position so his guests are at the best spot to observe the king of the bush closely. And then the spectacular choral singing begins, which goes through the heart of everyone on safari and will not soon be forgotten. But see and hear it for yourself. This was filmed by Dean’s buddy Alasdair.

Let’s go into Rhulani’s Tshembo Hide, and experience the fascination of discovering the smallest details of a huge elephant standing right in front of us by the water.

There is a Nespresso coffee machine in all room categories at Rhulani safari Lodge, as well as a minibar. The consumption of all products is included in your daily rate. Let’s take a detailed look at it today.

Summer time, rainy season, baby time. There is enough food for all young animals, so that they quickly grow big and strong. We’re looking at a very small impala. Really wonderful, the little animal with the oversized eyes and ears!

“That was a cool sighting with a buffalo bull busy having a mud wallow.” This is what Willem tells us at the end of a great game drive, which once again offered a show you can not see every day.
