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.

Every safari guest wants to take a picture of the leopard hanging in the tree. But have you ever seen a cheetah as it skilfully climbs up the tree, and how it balances on the branches with the long, thin legs?

Have you ever had the opportunity to listen to an impressive lion roar up close and feel how the vehicle is shaking? Rhulani’s ranger Alasdair arrives just in time for this spectacular show and tells us more about the roaring lions in Madikwe

Right at the entrance gate to Madikwe we meet a kudu mother with a cub, where you can still see the fluffy skin. They are not afraid, but always stay together.

Did you know that even cheetahs can climb trees? If not, you could have followed this as a Rhulani guest with us last month. Welcome to our July review from the bush.

All Madikwe visitors must pay a “Conservation Levy” for each day of their stay. Why is this additional fee necessary and what is the money used for?

This is the “classic safari experience” par excellence. A herd of elephants blocking the road, giving us an entertaining spectacle. In the background a beautiful view of Madikwe Game Reserve.

Have you ever watched on a safari the small, nimble Warthogs, that run like lightning, tail up, through the savannah? Rhulani Safari Lodge’s Ranger Martin shows us a recent sighting of a cute warthog family and tells us more about these interesting animals.
