“There is a huge elephant that died of a natural cause,” explains Rhulani’s ranger Ralf as he drives towards the place where apparently this colossus was lying in the bushes. It will be one of those unique, unforgettable game drives in Madikwe you are waiting for.

Let’s start 2022 with a lot of joy and optimism! By giving you an additional night for free we celebrate the start of a hopefully successful year where we will see the end of the pandemic. We are especially welcoming our international guests from overseas again!

Since 2014 Rhulani Safari Lodge has been included in the prestigious elections for the “World Luxury Hotel Awards”, and also this year we made it to the final round. This was made possible by consistently high quality at a 5-star level, even during the challenging COVID-19 crisis, as well as by our loyal customers who gave us their vote. For the eighth time in a row, Rhulani Safari Lodge was given the “Best Luxury Bush Lodge - Global Winner” award.

Leopards are quite shy. That means you have to be a lucky to see this big cat on a safari. But it also means that maybe we find an animal that we have hardly seen before. And so a pretty young leopard appeared in our area and offered a show that our ranger Ralf had never seen before.

We suspected it for a long time, and yet it is a shock for us. By far the oldest lioness in the Madikwe Game Reserve, also known as “Mgogo Mika”, died at the end of this week. The proud lioness has reached an age which is almost biblical for the wild. Mika died just a few days before her 20th birthday.

Rhulani Safari Lodge announces that we have won a trophy in four categories at this year’s “Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards”. Despite the difficulties due to the pandemic, we have given our guests a confirmation of our continuous path and commitment to an impeccable offer at 5-star level.

Cruel scene on our safari trip, and still according to the laws of the African bush and wildlife. Four cheetahs take down an adult male impala. The antelope has no chance against the big cats. We know that this is the mother cheetah, that teaches the three cubs how to keep the prey safely under control so that it does not escape again.
