Get to know those Rhulani staff members, who will look after you around the clock on your next visit, and who will show you the fantastic world of the African bush: Eleven questions to our rangers Alasdair, Sean and Riaan.

23 September was “World Rhino Day” and 24 September was South Africa’s “Heritage Day”. For the Madikwe Reserve this was reason enough to participate in the celebrations and to raise awareness for a very important topic affecting the whole country: the protection of the rhinos.

On a wonderful day, an elephant bull and a white rhino are approaching the the waterhole at the same time. There is enough room for both of them, but they do not like to share the waterhole with the other one.

September was a special month for our rangers and for the animal lovers. Three of our most beloved animals were in the headlines. Here is our monthly update from the bush.

Our today’s blog is dedicated to a very special animal which made Madikwe famous especially in the early years: the “wild dog”.

At Rhulani we are thrilled. Our beautiful model lion, regent in our area, called “Pretty Boy”, has recovered surprisingly quickly from his injuries and the wounds are healed. He is back in old strength and can be admired by our guests again.

Our beautiful male lion “Pretty Boy” is resting in the shadow. Suddenly Pretty Boy stands up, goes to the next bush to use it as his bathroom, and then comes back again. Really a very clean cat, don’t you think?

Rhulani confirms membership with the African Travel & Tourism Association (Atta) for the period 2016/2017.

One question our guests ask us from time to time: “Can I use my own car and drive around in Madikwe Reserve myself, looking for the animals?

A beautiful wildlife viewing featuring a male and a female lion. Both big cats are wonderful specimens. The way they walk side by side through the bush leaves behind the impression that they are on honeymoon.
