The adventure begins the moment you arrive at Madikwe Game Reserve. A wonderful welcome awaits you at the main lodge, Rhulani means "Relax" so sit back and enjoy!

Creating Rhulani has been both stimulating and inspirational, we set out to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, to build a modern day refuge, an oasis of calm, a place to nourish the soul and lift the spirit. We invite you to experience the serenity and harmony of this special place with us; come celebrate nature, celebrate life!

This premier 75,000 hectare game reserve situated in the North West Province of South Africa was originally established in 1991 to restore and return the land to its former natural environment.

A unique partnership between the state, local communities and private enterprise has transformed this land by way of the largest, phased game translocation operation ever undertaken worldwide; "Operation Phoenix" has been an astounding success .
