Animal observations in March were as successful as in the previous month. The chance to see the famous ‘Big 5’ is very high, even for visitors who come to us just for one or two nights. But there was much more to see.

February was a wonderful month for us and our guests. Besides continued spectacular wildlife viewing the scenery was just fantastic. In the second half of the summer, nature is green and the sky light blue.

Madikwe visitors may ask themselves: What happened to the nine wild dog puppies, which were born last July? A wonderful story continues.

The first month of the year is already over. The quality of wildlife viewing on our game drives remains at the highest level, and our guests enjoyed unforgettable moments in the bush. The frequency of leopard sightings is increasing.

The last month of the year was not only special because our guests spent the Christmas days with us. The African animals showed up in all their beauty, and with a lot ob babies!

November was an exciting month. At Rhulani, we had our first rain. Highlights in the bush are the 3 young lion cubs, and we also saw some very rare antelopes.

At the end of the dry season our balance of interesting animal sightings is fantastic. An update from the bush from last month.

The figure of a ranger is accompanied by a certain mystic. It is a person who lives a very different life, beyond any civilization, adaptation, and in harmony with nature. Meet our rangers today and see how they love the bush and do not mind to get up every morning before sunrise.

Nicky Mazzuchetti is the first female field guide at Rhulani. Her passion, qualification and experience make her an important asset for us in an environment, which has long been considered a male domain.

A little more than two weeks ago, nine small wild dogs were born in Madikwe. A short, touching encounter with the animal that has become the symbol of the reserve.
