One thing we learned during our safari experiences is NOT to run away when you are facing a lion. Hard to believe ... but observing how this little serval behaves in this situation, we get the feeling that the recommendation is actually true!

In the month of September, we experienced a remarkable change from the cool winter to a very summer-like climate. The quality of the safaris for our guests was at best level. The unforgettable sunsets over Madikwe and a joke of our funny ranger Alasdair will be remembered.

Have you ever seen a bushbuck on a safari in #Madikwe Game Reserve? You actually see this antelope rarely or never. But lately a bushbuck lives with us in the lodge.

Elephants often use the same roads as we do with our vehicle. Here we meet an elephant bull, which is on the way to the waterhole.

The well-known and popular “Rhino Walk” of Madikwe Game Reserve took place last Saturday. The goal was to raise awareness of the threat to rhinoceros, show visitors what rhino conservation is all about and raise money for the Conservation Fund.

The most impressive moments on a game drive for me are always then, when I’m able to see a rare animal in the sunset. So I’d like to tell you about an experience, I made on an afternoon game drive.

Just happened at Rhulani: Our loyal guests Dan & Fiona from the UK have finally seen a leopard for the first time on their third visit to Rhulani. We were searching intensely and finally found him. A reason to celebrate!

On a beautiful, sunny afternoon, we meet an elephant, which here quenches its thirst, and we see a family of Egyptian geese passing in the back

Let’s see what white rhinos typically do in the open savannah: walking forward with the head down, looking around and eating grass. Very easy!

After a long time we meet once again one of our favorite elephant Bob, who is enjoying a mud bath. But oh my goodness, Bob has a broken tail!
