After our three hotel awards in early November 2018, it’s time to celebrate this incredible success together with our Rhulani employees who made this possible for us. Thank you so much, dear Rhulani Team!

Madikwe Game Reserve is a true bird paradise. According to the latest estimates, there are more than 400 different bird species. On 17 October 2018 we began to photograph the birds and to create an encyclopedia. Our guests win a cocktail at the bar when they send us a new bird photo. Follow the current status here!

Offering not just the Big Five but also its own specialized Top 10, Madikwe Game Reserve is one of South Africa’s largest and most exclusive reserves. Guests of the luxury lodges get the run of Madikwe’s 750 sq km of open plains and classic bushveld, making this conservation success story a memorable experience – from animal sightings to sundowners.

For Rhulani Safari Lodge the first days of November were the time of awards. And once again, we were extremely successful. We won three prestigious awards in the luxury hotel industry. Rhulani’s owners attended personally the three award ceremonies and received a valuable trophy. We are very thankful and proud!

Rhulani Safari Lodge announces a change in lodge responsibilities effective November 1, 2018. Carla Baasden and Riaan Taljaard, previously Assistant Managers, have been promoted to be the Management Couple. New Assistant Manager and Head Ranger is Sean Townsend.

Even in the middle of the African bush, access to internet has become a matter of course. This is also the case in Rhulani Safari Lodge. We offer free wifi in all guest rooms and main areas of the lodge. But how good is our internet?

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.

Although you are in the African bush, at Rhulani you have free wifi in your room and even a telephone, with which you can get in touch with other rooms, the reception or the night guard.

Experience the highlights of a stay at Rhulani Safari Lodge in 10 short episodes. With a comprehensive massage & treatment program our spa therapist Pauline pampers you during your stay. The massage bed is now prepared for Julia on the private deck of her chalet. Try our unique Baobab tree oil from Pilani, which is a novelty in Africa.

Just happened at Rhulani: Our loyal guests Dan & Fiona from the UK have finally seen a leopard for the first time on their third visit to Rhulani. We were searching intensely and finally found him. A reason to celebrate!
