Jabulani

Jabulani is a luxury lodge situated on a Big 5 private game reserve in the Greater Kruger area. Visitors will enjoy a world-class safari, as well as the unique opportunity of interacting with a herd of rescued elephants. Experienced rangers host guests on game drives and bush walks for close sightings of predators and other iconic African species. Other optional activities include hot air ballooning, an Endangered Species Centre tour, canyon helicopter tours and golf. The Jabulani Elephant Experience affords guests the opportunity to meet and spend time with the herd. Highlights of the experience include meeting the elephants up close and hearing their stories; watching their playful splashing and spraying during the midday swim; tracking the herd on foot in their own territory, and participating in field research. The Jabulani Elephant Experience is a very personal and highly immersive interaction, where man and elephant meet one another on equal terms.
The lodge has an authentic African feel with colonial-style décor. The 6 private suites each have a deck and plunge pool. Families or groups will appreciate the stand-alone Zindoga Villa. There is an on-site gym, and experienced therapists offer soothing massages in the outdoor spa or comfort of the suites. This extraordinary property is renowned for service excellence, and every traveller will instantly feel at home.
