Three nights to enjoy Rhulani at an easier pace

Make Rhulani Safari Lodge your base for four days in malaria-free Madikwe. Six ranger-led open safaris explore wildlife habitats, while chalet leisure and the Tshembo Hide offer quieter moments between outings. Hide access follows lodge arrangements and wildlife activity; particular sightings are never guaranteed.

Rhulani’s accommodation includes private chalets, a premium chalet and a family suite. Air conditioning, fireplaces, indoor/outdoor showers and private terrace settings provide comfort throughout the seasons. Your confirmed category determines the layout and pool arrangement; family or premium upgrades are not automatically included at the quoted rate.

Morning safaris and afternoons at leisure

Private road transfers connect Johannesburg or Pretoria with the lodge. Request arrival lunch in advance before your first afternoon safari and dinner. Days 2 and 3 combine morning drives, breakfast, lunch, rest and afternoon tea with evening wildlife outings. A final sunrise safari and breakfast precede the return transfer.

Lodge safaris are shared unless exclusive arrangements are confirmed. Optional bushwalks and other activities cost extra and depend on availability, age eligibility and conditions.

Your package price

US$3,750 per person sharing; US$5,250 solo with the standard 40% supplement. Includes three Rhulani nights, private return city transfers, six open safaris, itinerary meals/snacks, selected local house wines, spirits, soft drinks, bottled water, teas/coffees, Wi-Fi, in-room Nespresso and complimentary minibar. Arrival 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. Confirm chalet allocation, dietary needs, pickup and onward flights before departure.
