Two nights to settle into Rhulani’s rhythm

Enjoy a three-day Madikwe escape centred on your private chalet at Rhulani Safari Lodge. Four open-vehicle outings explore the reserve at different times of day, while lodge leisure and the Tshembo Hide offer a quieter perspective between safaris. Hide access follows lodge arrangements and animal activity.

Private road transfers connect your Johannesburg or Pretoria address with the lodge. Safari vehicles are shared lodge outings unless an exclusive drive is separately arranged. Madikwe is malaria-free and home to the Big Five, but guides never promise specific sightings.

Morning wildlife, leisurely lunches and evening trails

An afternoon safari begins your stay, followed by dinner. On Day 2, pair a morning drive with breakfast/brunch, lunch and downtime before afternoon tea and a second outing. A final morning safari and breakfast complete the programme on Day 3.

Wi-Fi throughout the lodge, an in-room Nespresso machine, complimentary tea/coffee and minibar are included. Chalet category and family arrangements are confirmed before travel; the photograph illustrates a premium chalet setting, not a guaranteed room assignment.

Your package price

US$2,700 per person sharing; US$3,780 for a solo traveller with the standard 40% supplement. Includes two Rhulani nights, private return city transfers, two morning and two afternoon open safaris, itinerary meals/snacks, bottled water and selected local house wines, spirits, soft drinks, teas and coffees. Arrival-day lunch is included upon prior request.

Premium wines/spirits, imported champagne, bushwalks, laundry, massages, personal purchases and gratuities are excluded. Entrance/conservation fees are unspecified in the supplied programme and must be confirmed before booking. Optional activities and special arrangements depend on availability.
