SAT Trade show: Connecting with the growing Brazilian market

- News, Accommodation

In a grand celebration of South African travel experiences, the vibrant city of São Paulo recently became the epicenter of the Brazilian travel trade specialized in South Africa. Our owner, Marisa Silva, and ranger, Willem Nel, were present and brought the untamed beauty of the South African wilderness to the bustling metropolis of Brazil.

This exclusive event aimed to foster connections between South Africa’s finest travel destinations and the growing Brazilian market, and our lodge took center stage. We were able to engage travel experts, agents, and influencers with inspiring stories of luxury, conservation, and adventure.

On stage and also during one-on-one interactions, we passionately shared the unique experiences guests can expect at Rhulani Safari Lodge. From waking up to the sounds of wildlife, to witnessing breathtaking sunsets over the savanna, each moment offers an authentic blend of luxury and adventure.

The participation in this event was a key part of our broader strategy to invite more Brazilian travelers to explore South Africa’s pristine wilderness. Our lodge has always been dedicated to not only offering luxury accommodations but also promoting sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation. These principles resonated deeply with the audience, as Brazil itself is a nation rich in natural beauty and ecological diversity.

As we shared stories of personalized safaris, close encounters with the Big Five, and the lodge's commitment to preserving South Africa’s ecosystems, it became clear that our Rhulani Safari Lodge is more than just a destination—it’s a transformative journey that connects travelers to nature in a meaningful way.

By the end of the event, the connections made and the excitement generated promised to strengthen the bond between Brazil and Rhulani Safari Lodge, opening doors for Brazilian adventurers to experience the beauty and wonder of South Africa’s wild heart. Through this partnership with the Brazilian travel trade, we look forward to welcoming new guests to a safari experience that redefines the essence of luxury travel.
