Incredible safari experience

Had the most incredible time - can’t speak highly enough of the entire team who work here to make this a really once in a life time experience. From delicious food (you will not go hungry trust me!) to the walking talking encyclopaedia of a guide (thanks Dean!) this is a truly special place. Everthing is done with a smile and all your needs are taken care of. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful hotel — I highly recommend it to anyone who has the chance to visit! The accommodation is amazing, and we were extremely well taken care of by the whole team. Martha was always very attentive, and our game drive guide was absolutely fantastic — he gave us unforgettable experiences that will stay in our memories forever. We were initially unsure about the number of animals in the reserve, but it far exceeded our expectations! It was simply incredible — we saw all the Big Five and many other species. Compared to Kruger, this was an even more impressive and memorable experience for us — we were able to see the animals right next to us, without needing binoculars. The hotel has a lake in front of the reception area where the animals come to drink water, and we were lucky enough to watch many elephants from the hide, including baby elephants playing and taking a bath. Everything was perfect — thank you so much to the entire team for this extraordinary experience!

We had a great time at Rhulani, with the most unique feature we enjoyed being the Tsembo Hide. The Luxury Private Chalet was a good size for my husband and I and our our two children. The heated plunge pool was an hit with our kids. Our chalet did run out of hot water quite quickly, so keep this in mind if you’re hoping for a long outdoor shower! Our guide Alisdair was great and our game drives were exceptional. I appreciated that Rhulani accommodated me as a vegetarian and the food was decent (not anything to write home about but ok). My husband and children enjoyed their meat options but did have a hard time cutting the meat as no steak knives were provided. I would have liked a bit more options for food prior to the morning game drives and a more substantial snack on the morning drive (sometimes we didn’t stop at all for a snack). I found myself absolutely starving after getting up at 4am and not having breakfast until almost 9am some days. We found Rhulani to be a small lodge with not a lot of interaction between guests or with staff. This was fine for us as travellers with small kids. However, if travelling solo or as a couple/friend group you may want a slightly bigger lodge with more of a “vibe” at night (we have previously been on a similar safari prior to having kids and enjoyed the evening atmosphere at the other lodge we stayed at where guests would socialize etc ). Overall we had a great time and would go to Rhulani again!

Amazing game-drives, eher Probleme mit dem Service. Wir hatten im Voraus explizit gefragt, ob vegane Optionen zur Verfügung stehen, und dies wurde bestätigt. Am ersten Tag hatten wir beim Frühstuck trotzdem die Wahl zwischen Bacon oder Sausage. Unschön. Dazu werden scheinbar trotz dem doch eher hohen Preis die Brotscheiben gezählt - 5 bestellt, nur 2 erhalten. Und: es gibt nur Toastbrot oder Croissants. Jedes mal wenn wir nach Wasser oder (pflanzlicher) Milch gefragt haben, schien das Personal überfordert zu sein oder schien sich zu wundern, warum wir denn wieder Wasser wollen. Mike (Nachtdienst), Alasdair und der Koch waren mit ihrem Lächeln der Highlight unserer Reise.

A trip of a lifetime

My husband and I had an amazing time at Rhulani. Such a unique experience that we would cherish for the rest of our lives. We saw 4/5 of the big five in the three nights we stayed at Rhulani. We also saw so many other animals and brids. The staff was so nice. We missed our flight and Lisa was able to find us a road transfer in very little time. Saving us from a very stressful moment. The food was great, you’ll never go hungry at Rhulani. Very well kept and clean. The rooms are lovely with stunning views. Sean was our ranger and he made our trip even that much better. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Plunge pool with pool heater in our room! We loved spending our free time here while watching elephants, zebras and impalas pass by

Stayed at Rhulani Lodge as we celebrated milestone birthdays. Outstanding experience. We were greeted with warm towels and warm smiles by the staff. That feeling of welcome continued through our visit. Food - breakfast, high tea and dinner - all excellent. Beautiful rooms with private pools. Our guide was Sean Townsend. The best! Two safaris daily. Sean explained what we were seeing and did his best to track animals. Yes we saw the big 5. We also stopped while in the bush for drinks in the evening and hot drinks in the morning. I'm glad I had the opportunity to have this adventure. I highly recommend it!
