The starry sky can probably nowhere be observed as clearly and wonderfully as here, far away from a big city and light pollution. In today’s blog we take you on a short lesson with Daniel, who uses a laser and telescope to introduce us to an evening activity at Rhulani: star gazing.

A few days ago, Rhulani Safari Lodge managed to celebrate a great success at the “World Luxury Hotel Awards”. Rhulani’s owner Rolf received the award for the world’s best Luury Bush Lodge at the Gala Ceremony in Antalya/Turkey. Here are some impressions from a great event and some thoughts on what this award means for Rhulani.

Today is a great day. Rhulani Safari Lodge glitters and shines better than ever. At the World Luxury Hotel Awards we were voted “Best Bush Lodge - Global Winner”. Rhulani’s owner Rolf accepts the award tonight at the gala ceremony in Antalya / Turkey and sends a special greeting and thank you on his blog.

Now the time has come, the joy is great. We are pleased to announce that Rhulani Safari Lodge has received certification for HACCP standards. This is another important step in our constant striving for the highest quality standards.

You shouldn’t necessarily watch TV when you visit a safari lodge. One should look out for wild animals and simply enjoy the wild nature. And yet: Rhulani offers certain possibilities to watch TV here too. Rolf explains how.

Entertainment for our little visitors during the day with an amazing result: the “Sand Art” produces wonderful artworks with motifs of the African bush.

Recently there is a small garden with natural aloe plants in front of the main pool at Rhulani Safari Lodge. This is the project of our Assistant Manager Daniel. Today Daniel introduces us to the project and we learn about the aloes.

Rhulani Safari Lodge is located in the heart of the Madikwe Game Reserve, where all kinds of wild animals roam freely, including the dangerous “Big 5”. A frequent question from guests is whether Rhulani has a fence for security reasons, so that the animals do not come into the camp. The answer is: yes and no.

Did you know that the small plunge pools on the outside decks of the guest chalets are heated and also illuminated at night? This makes it possible to take a bath at any time, even before going to sleep.
