Rhulani Insights 179 - Safari in the cooler winter season

  • July 31, 2022 | Rhulani Safari Lodge

Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.

Rhulani Safari Lodge is open 365 days a year, so we run safaris every day, even in the slightly cooler winter months. Our guests don't usually mind the early morning chills as we are well equipped for that and once the sun appears on the horizon it gets warmer by the minute.

Today we are on Willem's vehicle, in the middle of the winter season, which lasts from the beginning of June to mid-August. We recommend our guests to bring warm clothing for the safaris (especially in the early morning).

But we also make sure that our guests are never cold. We always carry woolen blankets and hot water bottles with us, just like in the good old grandmother days. Later there is a morning coffee or a hot chocolate in the bush.

“If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.” – Lucy Larcom, American Poet

Stay tuned for the next episode on 14 August when Rolf does a night swim before going to bed.
