Jabulani Safari

Jabulani Safari is a luxury safari lodge located within the 15,000 hectare fenced Big 5 Kapama Private Game Reserve. The reserve is home to a wide variety of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, and large populations of giraffe, impala, blue wildebeest and kudu. Predators include lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena and many smaller species. Bird-watching is most rewarding and more than 350 bird species have been recorded.

With a Relais & Chateau accreditation, the lodge is guaranteed to offer first class accommodation, cuisine, facilities and personalised service, and your dedicated Jabulani ranger will ensure that your safari experience is tailor-made to your personal preference, whether laid back and relaxed or filled with game viewing and other activities.

What sets this camp apart from others, however, is their herd of African elephants, which were rescued by the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre. The devoted elephant carers share insightful stories of their life journeys with the Jabulani herd, whilst you have opportunity to respectfully observe the elephants during their daily routines - while they enjoy their midday swim, forage in the wild and return single file to their stables in the evenings.

The main lodge is built along the banks of a seasonal stream. An open plan dining room and lounge merge with the wooden deck which lies in the shade of gigantic leadwood trees - the ideal setting to enjoy an al fresco lunchc while overlooking the adjacent waterhole. An impressive suspension bridge connects the main areas with the suites. Pre-dinner drinks can be enjoyed in the Jabulani cocktail bar and lounge.

Each of the 6 suites are luxuriously furnished and feature a traditional fireplace, a grand freestanding stone bath, heated plunge pool and a semi-outdoor shower with a view over the African bush.

The Zindoga Villa comprises of 2 luxury suites, ideal for small groups and families with children of all ages. One of the suites also has an adjoining small twin room, with private bathroom, ideal for 2 children sharing. The villa is sold as an exclusive unit, and a dedicated chef and team of staff will ensure that the party enjoys their safari experience in optimum comfort and luxury.
