My husband, teen-aged son, and I recently stayed at Rhluani Safari Lodge, and it was an unforgettable experience! This was our first time in South Africa and our very first safari. This was my dream trip and it actually exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were comfortable and luxurious while also offering stunning views of the game reserve and water hole. The Safari drives (you receive two a day) were unbelievable and we were able to see 5 of the Magnificent 7 in our 4 and a half day stay(the wild dogs were denning and the leopard was elusive). The Tshembo Hide at the lodge offers a chance to see the animals from a different perspective than the safari drives and is frequented by all kinds of animals (we saw elephants, wart hogs, zebras, and antelope there). However what truly sets Rhulani apart is the staff. The house team (Tom, Kayla, Hloni) make sure all of your needs are taken care of, and are there to offer information, and additional accommodations or comfort if needed. We also very much enjoyed out "Boma" dinner, where the entire staff (chefs, servers, rangers) provide a few Tswana songs before eating a delicious meal. Finally and most importantly, our ranger guide (Willem) was an extremely special person. Not only did he delight in tracking down the animals we wanted to see (we had an epic Lion spotting adventure) but he was so knowledgeable and engaging. It was obvious that he delighted in learning and talking about the animals, their habitats, and about Madikwe in general. He was keen to answer all of our many many questions, never once without a lack of enthusiasm. Most impressively, he made sure that my teenage son was engaged even creating some games for them to compete in during our "sundowners". I would not hesitate to recommend Rhulani to anyone going on safari. I am already dreaming of my return.
