In the quiet hours of the afternoon, our guests come out of their private chalets and join us in the main area of the lodge again. Just before the afternoon game drive we have prepared some snacks and refreshments here. Your High Tea is ready!

Today we are on a wonderful game drive, sitting on the vehicle of our funny ranger Alasdair. In the open savannah a coalition of two cheetah males was found, which we are now approaching.

Since 1 August 2017, all visitors to Madikwe are paying a so-called “Conservation Levy”, in addition to the Gate Entry Fee. Thus, you make an important contribution to the preservation of beautiful wildlife, and in particular, to protect the rhinos from poachers.

If you drive on safari through the Madikwe reserve to look for animals, then one of the typical plants of the reserve will be a constant companion: the Sickle Bush. Let’s talk about it with Sean today.

Although you are in the African bush, at Rhulani you have free wifi in your room and even a telephone, with which you can get in touch with other rooms, the reception or the night guard.

In today’s blog, we present our new “breakfast boma”, which is located a bit outside of the main lodge, at a place that offers a view of nature under a marula tree. On a beautiful morning, we offer here our guests a bush breakfast after the morning game drive.

Welcome to another episode of our blog. At sunset we take a break on our game drive and analyze fresh lion tracks together with Rhulani’s Ranger Sean.

Have you ever taken a closer look at our company logo? There is an antelope-like animal, in a special representation, which comes from an old bushman’s painting, and which to our best knowledge represents an eland. Let’s take a closer look at this with Rolf.

On a beautiful, sunny morning, a sand snake rests in the warm stones of our lounge. Although it is completely harmless, we do not want to have this animal with us, and so our so-called “snake catcher” is used. This is the topic of today’s episode.

We’re on a night safari with Sean, in complete darkness. There are many interesting things to discover, including animals that you do not get to see during the day. Sean spots a small, green Chameleon in the middle of a bush. Let’s have a look!
