At the end of the summer period and just before the Easter week-end Rhulani Safari Lodge offers you an enticing SPECIAL. Decide now to visit us in the month of March and benefit from an additional free night if you book a minimum of three nights with us.

There are two Pied Crows sitting next to each other up there on the tree. Let’s watch the two birds in detail as they fly off and disappear far over the horizon.

Vultures don’t have the best reputation and belong to the so-called “Ugly Five” of the African bush. “We don’t see the vultures very often on safari, so they are still a highlight,” says Captain Redbeard Ranger Alasdair. Today he’s talking about a very special species of vulture he has seen a few days ago that brought him into ecstasy.

Did you know that the Egyptian Goose does not actually come from Egypt and is not even a goose? Rhulani’s Ranger Alasdair tells us more about this bird which actually is a “Shell Duck” and which is very common in Madikwe with the potential to almost become a pest.

Sad news reaches us just one day before Christmas. One of the two cheetah brothers from the so-called “Phinda Coalition” was found lifeless. The surviving cheetah had spent his entire life with his brother and is now all alone. A little eulogy to a wonderful cat who delighted us and our guests with great sightings for seven and a half years.

Male impalas are territorial animals. They mark their territory with urine and show dominance over any competitors by standing up and displaying. We have captured this typical behavior on video for you.

Another year is almost over, and our team is preparing for the busiest time of the year: Christmas and New Year. Time to look back on the year with Rhulani’s Deputy Manager Tom-Hendrik.

When you visit Rhulani, do you also want to work and attend business meetings on your computer? You definitely shouldn’t do that, but if you still can’t help it, we have good news: Rhulani has just doubled the internet speed from 25mbps to 50mbps.

Admittedly, bugs and insects aren’t for everyone, and our guests don’t usually come to Rhulani because of them. Today, however, we are dedicating a short story to a visually fantastic specimen, but let’s listen to our insect expert Dean himself about how these spectacular images came about.

We are at the Western airstrip of #Madikwe. The zebras particularly like this place. The area is open and they can see or hear any danger from afar. However, when a plane arrives here, we have to clean the airstrip and move the herd away. That’s not that easy!
