Read how Rhulani Safari Lodge masters the daily challenge in times of the coronavirus and how we prepare ourselves for the future. Thoughts from Rhulani’s owner Rolf who lives in Switzerland. Today: A buffalo - LIVE!”

Although Rhulani’s guests are in a so-called “unfenced camp”, there is an electrical wire that runs around the entire lodge and should at least protect us from the largest animals such as elephants. We look at this with Riaan today.

Due to the current special situation in connection with the Coronavirus COVID-19, Rhulani Safari Lodge offers special conditions for new bookings. You have the right to rebook until shortly before your planned arrival if travel is not possible.

Today we go again to visit the impressive construction work between our camp and the waterhole. Rolf takes you for a walk through the corridor, which in the future will be an underground tunnel through which you will reach the lounge very close to the waterhole.

Known as @pilotmadeleine on Instagram with 1.1 million followers, Madeleine Schneider-Weiffenbach calls herself a “blogger & globetrotter” — and she also happens to be a trained pilot on the hunt for a job. With her family she has just visited Rhulani Safari Lodge and is describing her impressions.

There is a waterhole for the animals about 50 meters in front of our lounge. Now we have a plan to build an underground “hide” to watch the animals from only a few meters away. Here’s a look at the construction work.

It is a chilly morning today and our guests are still out in the bush. The ideal moment to show you our prepared breakfast buffet, which is prepared today in the cozy dining room and will welcome our guests upon return.

For the new year, Rhulani Safari Lodge contributes to environmental sustainability: We have removed all plastic bottles at the lodge. For our daily game drives, all our guests receive a Rhulani drinking water bottle as a gift, which can be refilled at the dispenser station before departure.

We have done some renovation work in the past few days, so we temporarily cut off the electrical wire around the lodge. A young elephant bull used this opportunity for a short visit to Rhulani.

A safari at Rhulani Safari Lodge means first of all many exciting moments with the wild animals of the African bush. But it also means many quiet, decelerating moments in the privacy of your luxury chalet, overlooking the vastness and beauty of the Madikwe Reserve.
