“There are so many ingredients that come together to make Rhulani so special”

- News, Accommodation

Just at the turn of the year we hosted the "Whybrew Family" from the UK for a few nights, for whom the stay in Rhulani was their very first safari experience. A few days later, in addition to the New Year's wishes, we receive a fantastic message and photos describing the experience, which we would like to share at the start of the year. Happy New Year!

"We just wanted to say a huge thanks to all of the Rhulani team for making our first family safari such a truly magical experience. Everything from Tom-Hendrik’s assistance and first class hospitality, even before our arrival, to the wonderful welcome waives, the superb dinners, amazing staff, exceptional accommodation, Michael’s warm smile, Alasdair’s infectious energy, making our sons’s birthday so memorable, through to the moment of our last drive to the airstrip, it was a very very special holiday and a life experience we will never forget.

Words cannot describe the safari drives themselves - beyond stunning, life changing in fact. There are so many ingredients that come together to make Rhulani so special but it really comes down to the staff above all else. They all really were so friendly and fantastic but we have to give a special mention to Willem. What a truly amazing guide he was but so much more than that. We cannot sing his praises highly enough. He is a very special human being who went above and beyond and we would not hesitate to recommend Rhulani on the back of Willem alone. And he makes an amazing Ranger’s Coffee to boot!

You have created something exceptionally special at Rhulani and we are so happy and grateful to have been part of it.

Please do share our love and gratitude with all of the team.

Happy New Year.

Very best wishes,

Dan, Chayla, Hayden and Isaac Whybrew"
