Our statistics show that we find the largest animals of the African bush quite often. So, no guest will leave Rhulani disappointed. For our rangers, however, the leopard is one of the big challenges, although lately the frequency of sightings has also increased. What is the chance to see leopards?

We are in the middle of the winter months, which means “low season” for our lodge operation and “dry season” for nature. Our guests enjoy more than ever the peace and privacy they would like to have on a trip to the African bush. Starry sky and beautiful wildlife viewing are guaranteed. Welcome to our July update of our rangers.

We will remember the past month for many reasons. Winter has arrived. In the morning you have to dress now warmly for the safaris. The sunsets in Madikwe are unforgettable. And then we had an unexpected cheetah meeting. Welcome to our June review from the bush.

What spectacular news in the middle of the quiet winter time. During a recent game drive with our guests, surprisingly we found one of the cheetah females, as she was just having a rendezvous with the two males of the so called “Phinda Coalition”. “Finally,” one is tempted to say. We waited a long time for this moment!

Traditionally, May was the quietest month of the year, measured by the number of guests visiting Madikwe Game Reserve. The few visitors enjoyed a private atmosphere with unforgettable game viewing. Welcome to our monthly report from the bush.

A safari is a cozy, relaxing activity. Slowly you drive through the wild landscape, enjoy the peace, looking for animals. But it may be that your Ranger suddenly presses the gas pedal down and rushes away. Welcome to your «Ferrari Safari».

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.

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.

As our monthly statistics show, February was again a very good month for fantastic wildlife observations. It was striking that the leopard, which is very difficult to spot even by our experienced rangers, could be found with a rate well above average, which made our many late summer guests particularly happy.
