Elephants never really sleep. They are permanently looking for food or for something new with their trunk. Here is a bull elephant digging in a mix between brown dust and green grass.

The wooden outside deck of the private guests chalets is renewed. Today we take a look into this important work and speak to our supplier Kevin.

Rhulani Safari Lodge presents for the first time an “official promotional video”. It was created in collaboration with Supreme TV, a video production company founded in 2015 by Chad Killian, operating from Johannesburg.



We remain completely silent on our vehicle, while a wonderful male lion parades just in front of us. No doubt that this is the king in ‪Madikwe‬

The rock monitor, also called the legavaan, is a species of monitor lizard found in Madikwe, and as you see, also quite often in the roof of our guest chalets. These reptiles like to stay close to the outdoor shower.

In the daily operation of a safari lodge, every day there is something special or funny that happens. Listen to our barman Ernest, how he suddenly met an elephant.

The month of July is over. It is still winter time, which means we experienced cold nights, pleasant, sunny days, not a single drop of rain, and the most important: fantastic game viewing. Here is the monthly update from the bush by our rangers.

We usually find the zebras in smaller groups, called “a dazzle of zebras”. This one here is standing alone, enjoying a fantastic view over the vast plains of Madikwe. Our presence does not seem to disturb it at all.

There are no guarantees on safari. But Rhulani’s statistics show that all members of the famous “Big Five” are seen with a high probability. Except leopard. This is a hard nut to crack even for our experienced rangers, like Sean.

A pretty funny moment: A white rhino grazes quietly through the savannah, in the interplay between light and shadow in the evening sun. It moves exactly on the shadow of the roof from our game drive vehicle.
