- "We loved everything about our stay at Rhulani. The staff were incredible and took such wonderful care of us. We've never felt more special in our whole lives. The experience is truly amazing. The safaris and guides were so knowledgeable, informative and made our game drives unforgettable. The hotel chalets were spacious, clean and unbelievably comfortable. If you're reading this. I would really, really recommend staying at Rhulani!" - "Loved everything about this place from the minute we arrived and were greeted by the manager himself, Tom-Hendrik. The styling & decor is stunning, the food is great quality and plentiful, the staff are efficient and so kind. We had Villem as our guide and he had such a good energy, knowledgable and easy to get along with. We stayed 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Arriving back to a roaring fireplace in our room after our evening game drive was magic. The boma night was also an absolute highlight, where everyone (guests & staff) came together under the night sky and enjoyed an abundance of delicious African dishes - incredible."

- "Cleanliness" - "Everything about the place. Beautiful views and very calming." - "Very secure. Modern and clean. Friendly staff. Great breakfast." - "Everything was more than perfect, but what stood out the most was the absolute professionalism & friendliness of all the staff members. I noticed many complaints on Google reviews about the reception staff being rude. In my honest opinion, this is absolute nonsense as Jeanette and all the other reception staff, hosts and catering staff attended to us with the utmost friendliness and went out of their way to accommodate us, without us having to ask for anything or any special favours. Well done to all of you and thank you for making our weekend special!!"
