Hotel Rhulani Safari Lodge (Madikwe, South Africa)

The adventure begins the moment you arrive at Madikwe Game Reserve, located just 4 hours away from Johannesburg in the North-West Province of South Africa. An African welcome awaits you at the lodge. Rhulani means "relax" so you are invited to sit back and enjoy the African bush. Rhulani was designed and built to blend as much as possible into its surroundings. It is only when you are here and observe the incredible wildlife that you truly appreciate how perfectly all the elements of nature interact – as they always have. Rhulani is set along a crest, commanding stunning vistas of Madikwe. Early-morning and late- afternoon game drives will give you the opportunity to view a wide variety of wildlife species in a malaria-free environment, including the legendary Big 5 mammals. Enjoy a spectacular sunset in free wilderness with a sundowner offered by your ranger. During the day, you will enjoy the total privacy of your own private plunge pool while you relax in the spacious luxury of your luxury room. The seven chalets and one luxury family suite are air-conditioned for warm summer evenings and have a Morso fireplace for the cool winter nights. The en-suite bathrooms have an oval bath, twin basins, indoor and outdoor showers. There is free wireless internet in all chalets and common areas of the lodge. Why not pamper yourself with a massage in the privacy of your room or on your private deck? Or enjoy a cocktail around the swimming pool that overlooks the reserve. Lie on loungers on our wooden sun-deck to enjoy the warmth of Africa. Try the exquisite dining experience under the magnificent African night sky, warmed by a roaring fire. In addition, a variety of indoor and outdoor dining locations are also available. For those special occasions, enjoy a romantic dinner on your own private deck. The traditional Southern African cuisine is complemented by a selection of world-class South African wines.
