Did you know that there are big herds of buffalo you can find in Madikwe Game Reserve? Rhulani’s head ranger Sean tells us more about this fascinating animal and why for him the buffalo is the most dangerous of the Big 5.

Rhulani Safari Lodge informs that it has won the Travelers’ Choice Award 2020 from TripAdvisor. This is a wonderful appreciation of our performance, and thanks go to our employees and our guests who rate us with friendly comments and high scores.

We find a hidden hyena den. We find the mother with the two cubs, but of course we stay at a distance. Wonderful to see the spotted hyenas so relaxed and it was so amazing when the mother approached us to drink water.

The vehicle with which you go on the daily safari is open. So you always enjoy the fresh air of the African bush and an open, wide view of the savannah to watch the animals. The vehicle also has a roof, but not always. Rolf tells us more about this today.

During the day the lion pride is lying in the shade and sleeps. A little noise from an animal nearby, and the lioness is wide awake. She looks with a fixed gaze in one direction and watchful ears. Is that an easy catch?

Did you know that baby elephants have a very short trunk, and so the adult animals are making sure that the little ones get rid of ticks and flies? Rhulani’s ranger Alasdair tells us more about the protective behaviour of these big mammals, and see our funny guide acting with all his passion.

Very proudly, but also a with bit of sadness, at Rhulani Safari Lodge we have completed the largest, most expensive and most fantastic construction project in our history: The underground observation hide directly at the water hole. We are proud because we are so excited and satisfied about the result. Sad, however, because we haven’t had the opportunity to show the hide to our guests because of the corona crisis. The day that we can hardly wait for will come with the reopening. Here is a review of this project.

Two little elephant cubs are having fun playing on the green meadow and are already testing their strength.

In today’s blog we experience an indescribably beautiful animal sighting at the pan, where a few white rhinos and zebras are found in the light of the evening sun. The reason for the animals’ stay here does not seem to be the water, as Rhulani’s head ranger Sean explains.
