Welcome
The adventure begins the moment you arrive at Rhulani Safari Lodge in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, where an African welcome awaits you. Rhulani means “relax”, and we invite you to sit back and enjoy the African bush with us!
Creating Rhulani has been both stimulating and inspirational. We set out to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary – to build a modern-day refuge, an oasis of calm, a place to nourish the soul and lift the spirit. We invite you to experience the serenity and harmony of this special place with us – come celebrate nature and life.
