A pride of lions is currently resting in the open field. The day begins with a loud roar of their boss, who then immediately goes back to sleep.

We come very close to this actually rather shy blue wildebeest, and we can watch it grazing and walking through the savannah. This species of antelope is very common in #Madikwe, and this animal is unjustly one of the “ugly five”.

Did you know that there are many snakes in Madikwe? And did you know that our Ranger Martin is a true snake lover? Martin tells us about his passion and how he relocate different snake species to a safer and suitable habitat.

An unusual activity in connection with Madikwe’s extensive wild dog project provided an unforgettable day for Rhulani’s guests. Three female and five male wild dogs have been relocated to a larger boma. The capture of the animals, the move, the medical care and the release at the new place took the whole day.

The beautiful month of August showed a lot of sunshine and thus a wonderful safari experience for all our guests. But the end of the winter season brought us also dry and dusty days. The highlight: We make a sensational announcement regarding the wild dogs, known as the characteristic animal for Madikwe. Welcome to our monthly report from the bush.

Up on the tree we discover a beautiful, small-spotted genet in the dark. Challenging to find, and even more difficult to observe this shy animal in the spotlight. But here we succeeded.

We meet this cheetah, who lies down in the grass and shows us some nice rolls.

The question of when we will see small, cute cheetah cubs for the very first time in our park seems to be more justified than ever. For many years, with Rhulani Safari Lodge’s support, the reserve has been investing considerable financial resources and efforts in the ambitious project of reproducing this susceptible animal in the wild, so far with no success. But now the hopes are great.

Did you know that klipspringers are loyal to their partner for a lifetime and they always stay together? Rhulani’s Head Ranger Sean tells us more about this interesting, small antelope species, which is sometimes found in rocky areas but also in our lodge.

Quite comfortably and slowly, this big, white rhino walks on the road in front of us. Let’s just follow this wonderful, prehistoric looking mammal and watch it on its walk.
