I like everything about the property from location to setting and privacy of the rooms, Staff were so friendly and nice . We didn’t like the selection, variety and quality of the food . The only thing would prevent me of returning to the lodge is just the food .

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!

Amazing hotel in the bushes
Wow what an amazing experience. The hotel is unbelievably well managed. Food is super gourmet, staff is so nice and kind and professional. You can't ask for a better place. Carla is so helpful for anything to arrange for you and Riian was the best safari driver. I would love to come again to the exact same place. Big thumbs up. Never experienced this before. A must.
