There are so many Baby Animals in Madikwe Game Reserve, at the moment. On your safari with Rhulani Lodge you might be able to spot Baby Zebras, mini Warthog Piglets, Young Giraffes, Baby Elephants, and more. I decided to do a little series over the next few weeks. Today, we are starting with cute little Lion Cubs.

2017 seems to be a great year. I have been at Rhulani Lodge in Madikwe for about 6 weeks, went on about 7 Game Drives (in 2016), which were all great, just did not include any Leopards – as these beautiful creatures are very elusive. Mid of January 2017 I went on Game Drives with Sean again – and he found us a Leopard – twice in 3 days!

Rhulani means “Relax” – Living up to its name, here are 5 ways to unwind at Rhulani Safari Lodge in between Game Drives: From sipping on a cocktail at the outdoor lounge, swimming in the pool, enjoying waterhole views to enjoying a soothing massage or a yoga & meditation session – options to unwind, rest and de-stress at this Madikwe Lodge are endless.

The summer months from November to February/March are the rainy season in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa. Some highly needed rain arrived over the last few weeks and transformed the landscape from a dry Brown to a lush Green.

You might wonder why Zebras and Wildebeests (Gnus) love to hang out together in the African savanna. You see them together at the Great Migration in Kenya and Tanzania and also here in Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa. Find out why Zebra and Wildebeest are best buddies.

New Year’s Eve at Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe was celebrated with a South African Braai (Barbecue) in the Boma Area. Guests could first enjoy the local dance group “Dikwena” performing for them around the fire and then choose from tasty grilled meats and salads.

An Evening Game Drive at Rhulani Safari Lodge – this is what everyone’s waiting for. After some hours of relaxing at the lodge you can grab some snacks, tea, coffe, cake or fruit at High Tea – before heading out on your evening safari in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.

I just wanted to share some photos of the “Christmas in the Bush” Experience at Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe. Leading up to Christmas, the lodge was decorated with little Christmas Trees greeting you after your evening game drive, along with a shining star near the reception area and some window decorations.

Your Morning Game Drive at Rhulani Safari Lodge starts with a Wake-Up call around 5am in summer (6am in winter). Enjoy some snacks and coffee/tea at the lodge before heading out. Hop onto your seat and enjoy the ride –an amazing sunrise over Madikwe is waiting for you – as well as fascinating wildlife, interesting facts about animals and plants as well as snacks and coffee/tea in the bush.
