Rhulani means “Relax” – Living up to its name, here are 5 ways to unwind at Rhulani Safari Lodge in between Game Drives: From sipping on a cocktail at the outdoor lounge, swimming in the pool, enjoying waterhole views to enjoying a soothing massage or a yoga & meditation session – options to unwind, rest and de-stress at this Madikwe Lodge are endless.

Put your Feet up and watch Wildlife at Rhulani’s Waterhole

After all the excitement of your morning game drive at Rhulani Safari Lodge it is time for some rest and relaxation.

In the Old Boma area at Rhulani there’s a big chair that offers shade and comfy pillows – the perfect spot to put up your feet and watch wildlife at the waterhole right in front of the lodge.

Enjoy great views over Madikwe Game Reserve and spot Elephants, Zebras, Impalas or Warthogs coming by for a drink.

Have a soothing Massage, Manicure or Pedicure

Pauline and Valencia are your wonderful massage therapists at Rhulani Safari Lodge. Indulge in a soothing massage treatment in the comfort of your private Chalet. Options range from Aromatherapy or Hot Stone Massage to Intonga Stick Massage, Head/Foot & Swedish Massage. You can also enjoy a Manicure / Pedicure on your safari holiday in Madikwe.

The Rhulani Special is the “Tree of Life Massage” – experience the healing power of Africa with this regenerating treatment that uses Baobab tree oil.

Relax at the Pool

You can also swim in the pool and soak up some sun at Rhulani’s pool area. Lie on your sunlounger, read a book or just enjoy being surrounded by beautiful nature.

If you choose to stay at your Chalet you can also jump into your private plunge pool on your deck.

Sip a Cocktail or Cappuccino in the Outdoor Lounge

The Outdoor Lounge area at Rhulani also offers great waterhole views. Flop into one of the comfy couches and enjoy some more game viewing – or sip a cocktail or cappuccino in between game drives.
Your barmen Ernest and Ellias will be happy to prepare a drink of your choice while you are waiting for your evening safari to start.

Enjoy a Gentle Yoga session or a Meditation/Visualization 

If you are looking for some easy movement and de-stressing, you can join us for our Free Yoga session after your game drive (and about 1 hour after your breakfast). Everyone can take part in this Gentle Yoga class – also guests that have never done yoga before. There is also the option for a Private Yoga class at your chalet – or a Deep Relaxation/Meditation/Visualization session (Yoga Nidra).

After your High Tea it is time some more excitement on your evening Game Drive at Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe. If you feel like it, there is the option for an Evening Meditation after your game drive (before or after your dinner).

Now that you know that Rhulani is definitely living up to its name, please come and visit us and combine your safari adventure in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa, with some relaxation, rejuvenation and healing.
