What a year is coming to an end! Hard to beat when it comes to events. Right from the start we feared for our future with the new Omicron virus, and who would have thought that we would still be able to end Christmas and the New Year with a full lodge and happy guests celebrating with us. Rhulani’s owner Rolf wishes you a Happy New Year.

Tonight the time has come: There will be a new FIFA Soccer World Champion. In Rhulani we followed this World Cup with our guests and are looking forward to an exciting final between Argentina and France.

In every safari lodge there is a curio shop. This is also the case in Rhulani, and we have a very nice one. It is located in the middle of the main area, right next to the swimming pool. Our Front of House employee Kyla is giving us a tour today.

Time for a break on the afternoon safari, when the sun is on the horizon and ranger Willem sets up the bush bar. Time for sundowners.

The starry sky can probably nowhere be observed as clearly and wonderfully as here, far away from a big city and light pollution. In today’s blog we take you on a short lesson with Daniel, who uses a laser and telescope to introduce us to an evening activity at Rhulani: star gazing.

Today is a great day. Rhulani Safari Lodge glitters and shines better than ever. At the World Luxury Hotel Awards we were voted “Best Bush Lodge - Global Winner”. Rhulani’s owner Rolf accepts the award tonight at the gala ceremony in Antalya / Turkey and sends a special greeting and thank you on his blog.

You shouldn’t necessarily watch TV when you visit a safari lodge. One should look out for wild animals and simply enjoy the wild nature. And yet: Rhulani offers certain possibilities to watch TV here too. Rolf explains how.

We are currently at the end of winter. This means there is no rainwater and the natural dams are slowly but surely drying up completely. Let’s visit a dried-up dam today with Ranger Willem and talk about how the animals still get their water.

Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge. Elephants at the watering hole - wow! But it gets even better. At Rhulani there is an underground hide where you can see these animals up close. In today’s blog, we’re on our way to the hide….

Recently there is a small garden with natural aloe plants in front of the main pool at Rhulani Safari Lodge. This is the project of our Assistant Manager Daniel. Today Daniel introduces us to the project and we learn about the aloes.
