Experience the highlights of a stay at Rhulani Safari Lodge in 10 short episodes. In the early morning and in the afternoon at sunset our game drives take place in the beautiful Madikwe Game Reserve. Enjoy with Julia a few fantastic impressions of unforgettable game viewing with the legendary “Big 5” in a wild scenery.

In the dark, we are no longer allowed to watch the wild dogs and above all, do not light up with a lamp. But this evening we see a mother with two cubs just before the sun disappeared on the horizon. The lively animals always offer our guests a special spectacle.

Funny everyday life stories from the bush: Rhulani’s spa therapist Pauline tells us a little anecdote from when she wanted to hide from a big storm.

Rhulani’s spa therapist Theodecia Kopeka has successfully completed an intense training course on Swedish Massage, and she was awarded with a “Certificate of Competence” from the renowned Massage & Reflexology Institute BalancingTouch. Congratulations to Theo for this great achievement!

In the later afternoon of a dry winter day, a visit to the waterhole is a double pleasure for the elephants. Here they can not only have a drink, but also play around in the wet mud. Funny!

We are looking forward to this moment every year. Even bets are made on the exact date. This time it was on Saturday, October 13th. The first real rainfall ushered in the beginning of the rainy season in Madikwe Game Reserve.

If you drive on safari through the Madikwe reserve to look for animals, then one of the typical plants of the reserve will be a constant companion: the Sickle Bush. Let’s talk about it with Sean today.

Funny everyday life stories from the bush: Rhulani’s field guide Sean tells us a little anecdote from when he was conducting a game drive with many guests, and he suddenly bumped into an elephant which was in musth.

One thing we learned during our safari experiences is NOT to run away when you are facing a lion. Hard to believe ... but observing how this little serval behaves in this situation, we get the feeling that the recommendation is actually true!

In the month of September, we experienced a remarkable change from the cool winter to a very summer-like climate. The quality of the safaris for our guests was at best level. The unforgettable sunsets over Madikwe and a joke of our funny ranger Alasdair will be remembered.
