The month of December is the most special one for our lodge operation. Uncertain weather, rains with the annual density test of our thatched roofs, and then the Christmas and New Year period, which demands a special effort for all of us. Above all, we have the daily safaris with unforgettable animal sightings. Welcome to the last monthly update from the bush of 2017.

Yesterday evening was a great, memorbale night at Rhulani Safari Lodge, not only because it was the celebration of New Year. We had a great dinner at the bushfire and a spectacular performance with local dances and singing by the Dipoo-tsa-Pina Arts Performers in our boma. Inspite of dark light, some nice sequences captured by our barman Ernest. Happy New Year!

We are facing a new, exciting year, which will certainly bring us many unforgettable experiences in the African bush. Our ranger team with Alasdair, Sean, Riaan and Tsholo is eager to find fantastic animal sightings for you. Today we introduce you to Rhulani’s “Big 4”.
