Of the many activities related to Wildlife Conservation, «rhino notching» is one of the most important for the reserve, and one of the most attractive for guests. Last Friday Rhulani Safari Lodge supported such an activity and invited all our guests present at the lodge to this special, memorable experience.

As every year in the month of May, we were present at the “INDABA”, the largest and most important travel fair for the African continent in Durban. At our Rhulani stand, on nine square meters in the main hall (ICC), we talked to existing and new potential business partners about our product and all the new exciting things happening at Rhulani. It was a complete success.

Beautiful wildlife viewing and a pleasant, autumnal climate accompanied us through the month of April. Two big cats, lions and leopards, provided an absolute highlight, that one encounters only very rarely. Welcome to our monthly report from the bush.

For many guests of Rhulani Lodge, a safari with us is a «once in a lifetime experience». You see so many unique, new and amazing things as you would not have imagined before. At the same time, one wonders whether the experienced ranger, who drives you through the African bush, perceives all this just as a boring routine, or whether he is fascinated again and again by the wonders of nature. The second is the case. And there are very unique sightings for them as well, as it happened two days ago.

The Swiss professional freestyle skier Elias Ambühl, finalist at the recent Winter Olympics in South Korea, spends with his wife Sarah his first safari holiday at Rhulani Safari Lodge. We took the opportunity for an interview with the well-known sportsman.

Once again, Rhulani Safari Lodge supported a conservation activity yesterday to protect the endangered rhinos. For our guests, this has become an unexpected, educational enrichment of their safari holidays. But the long, exciting day also made headlines for another reason.

By the end of March we are at the end of the summer and the rainy season. The weather was pretty crazy, but all our safaris took place, although sometimes not on all the earthy roads of Madikwe and sometimes at unusual times. Our guests enjoyed it anyway. Welcome to our monthly report from the bush.

In a secret action, exclusively sponsored by Rhulani Safari Lodge, a fully grown male tiger arrived at Madikwe Game Reserve early this morning. Madikwe is now the first game reserve in South Africa to offer this spectacular cat to our visitors, and it now receives an upgrade to be called a “Big 6” reserve.

It is certainly a major milestone for the staff of Rhulani Safario Lodge. All employees have decided via a new corporate pension plan to save for old age and protect themselves against life risks. We selected the plan “FundsAtWork” from Momentum.

Often we are asked the question: how many guests take a seat on the vehicle to go on safari? Traditionally, the open Game Drive Land Cruiser seats ten people. However, since the beginning of this year, our ambition is to limit the maximum number to seven guests and thus increase the comfort.
