Exciting news from Rhulani Safari Lodge, just before the long Easter weekend. After long negotiations with North West Parks Board, we have successfully concluded a contract, according to which we can use a natural water pool in the middle of the Madikwe Reserve exclusively for Rhulani’s guests for a swim during the summer. Our guests are instructed to take their swimwear with them on the game drives. With a bit of luck you will enjoy a unique experience of swimming with the elephants.

It is a picture of horror that was presented yesterday not so far away from Rhulani Safari Lodge. The four most powerful lions in our region crashed into each other: the two buddies Kwandwe and Monomogolo on the one hand, the two brothers known as “Addo Boys” on the other. One of them was killed in a heroic battle.

Since the end of October, the borders to South Africa have been reopened for all countries. The only condition is a negative PCR COVID-19 test not older than 72 hours, which you must present upon entry. Rhulani’s owner Rolf tried it himself and traveled to South Africa at the beginning of December without any problems. He talks about his experiences.

“When Alasdair and I decided to go on a little tour today, he made a joke,” says his Ralf. Both are experienced rangers at Rhulani. “Now we are going to find a male lion that eats a buffalo”. Laughter. Here we go…

“The north of the park is very wet and some of the roads are closed because of the good rain we had, so we decided to work on the southern side,” says Ralph, Rhulani’s field guide. A good choice, because actually a lot of different animals are currently gathering there. So Ralph found the Cheetah mother with the four little ones who had killed an impala. An absolute highlight.

South African government has announced that travelers from all over the world will be able to travel the country again, provided they submit a negative PCR -COVID-19 test result which is not older than 72 hours. There is no quarantine requirement. At Rhulani Safari Lodge we are excited about this news and warmly welcome spontaneous travelers from overseas. In order to cushion the uncertainties surrounding a trip, we are offering new, customer-friendly conditions for unforeseen travel changes due to COVID-19. Welcome to Rhulani!
