When you visit Rhulani, do you also want to work and attend business meetings on your computer? You definitely shouldn’t do that, but if you still can’t help it, we have good news: Rhulani has just doubled the internet speed from 25mbps to 50mbps.

The results of the annual Star Grading evaluation have just reached us, with excellent results. The Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) has once again awarded Rhulani Safari Lodge 5 stars, with top ratings in all dimensions. The expert who visited us this year was impressed with our continued journey to improve luxury at Rhulani, but not only that.

Pre-Christmas party! This one day of the year belongs entirely to the employees of Rhulani. It’s the day when we say goodbye to our last guest at 11 a.m., do the final clean-up work, and then close the lodge for the day and get ready for the party. Last Sunday it happened again. There was a lot of laughter, eating, celebrating and drinking. Until late at night.

Even guests who come to us repeatedly were quite surprised by this sighting. “What kind of animal was that?” everyone asked themselves as Willlem led the vehicle near the fence line that borders the park and this unusual creature was there and appeared to us to be completely relaxed. A small, dark, cat-like animal. The African bush is home to many little secrets.

Rhulani Safari Lodge announces that we are now once again members of the “African Travel & Tourism Association (ATTA®)”. ATTA promotes travel and tourism to Africa and Indian Ocean Islands from all corners of the world and has over 615 members.

Take a look here. New life is arising in the park. Much to the delight of Rhulani’s ranger Alasdair, better known as “Captain Redbeard. Unlike in a zoo, where births are known and observed, in a large wildlife reserve like Madikwe, newcomers just appear, and we sit our vehicle and marvel. This story is about cheetahs and leopards. But let’s tell Alasdair about it.

At the end of a glittering night and lavish celebration at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Athens, Rolf greets all our followers in this special edition from the World Luxury Hotel Awards with the “Chairman’s Award” in his hands.

This night will go down as one of the most special in the history of Rhulani Safari Lodge. Achievements and celebrations abound. In the lodge everything is decorated and prepared for a celebration of the Springboks’ Rugby World Cup Final together with our guests. Almost 12,000 km away, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Athens, Greece, the gala ceremony of this year’s World Luxury Hotel Awards takes place, where Rhulani’s owners Rolf and Marisa are among the invited.

Rhulani Safari Lodge is proud to announce that we have won the award for “Best Luxury Bush Lodge - Global Winner” at the World Luxury Hotel Awards (WLHA) for the tenth year in a row. The trophy was presented to Rhulani’s owners Rolf and Marisa at the Gala Ceremony at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Athens, Greece, last Saturday. As an even greater honor, we received recognition for our efforts in Wildlife Conservation, Community Uplift and Clean Energy, through one of the very rare and valuable “Chairman’s Award”.

What a night, what a party! Rhulani Safari Lodge was also under the spell of the spectacular Rugby World Cup final between the “Sprinboks” and the “All Blacks” on Saturday evening. In a video put together by Kyla you will get an insight into how we spent the evening and celebrated with our guests. Congratulations to the Springboks who defended their title.
