The monthly statistics about animal sightings remained very stable last November. Many beautiful encounters offered our guests a memorable safari. An absolute highlight was the lion couple on honeymoon, right next to our vehicles. Here is our November update from the bush.

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a ranger? In Episode 9 Rhulani Safari Lodge Field Guide Alasdair tells us more about the impala rutting season.

South Africa is generally known for its large ostrich farms. In the north-west, in the Big 5 Reserve of Madikwe, there is also a small number of ostriches living and resisting the threats of dangerous predators. Watch an ostrich male wandering through the savannah.

There is no doubt that the rangers of Rhulani Safari Lodge are very knowledgable, qualified and experienced. But did you know that they are also very funny? Watch and have fun with this video, as our ranger Alasdair roars like a lion.

In a small, hidden corner, in yellow afternoon light, we discover two elephant bulls, which are here enjoying themselves in the moist soil. The mud has to be applied on the skin of the whole body, whether by spraying with the trunk, or by rolling around – quite funny

What makes a game drive really special? Is it the feeling of finding oneself in the endless expanse of nature? Is it the silence? Is it the possibility to see wild animals up close? Is it the constant tension, what you will see next?

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a ranger? In Episode 8 Rhulani Safari Lodge Field Guide Alasdair walks with his GoPro Camera along the fence line and finds us two cheetahs.

The cute Klipspringer is not often seen in Madikwe. They are small and a bit shy. But there are some which have their territory very close to the lodge and are not afraid. Klipspringers pair up for life, so you find usually two of them together. Enjoy this minute with a not everyday antelope.

Just because we saw that these two elephant boys were very relaxed, we could spend a whole time undisturbed right next to them. The two bulls are eating the dry grass and seem to be curious as they inspect our vehicle with their trunks.

What a month! Even our hardened rangers, who hardly can be surprised, had some “once in a lifetime” experiences last October, especially with very active predators. Welcome to our monthly update from the bush.
