Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.
There is no better place in Rhulani than here in the underground hide, very close to the waterhole, where you can relax and unwind and watch the elephants. These large mammals sometimes stay here for hours, especially on hot days like today, and they know exactly where to get the fresh water from Rhulani.
People are so difficult. Give me an elephant any day.
And so here we are watching a few bull elephants drinking water up close. Every now and then we feed fresh water into the pond, and these intelligent animals know exactly where the water pipe is.
Enjoy this special moment and be sure to visit Rhulani's "Tshembo Hide" if you ever come to visit us. It is an absolute highlight!
Stay tuned for the next episode on 29 December with a with a few words at the end of the year with Rhulani's manager Tom-Hendrik.
