Jabulani Safari Lodge Kapama Game Reserve

Jabulani Safari Lodge is a five star Relais & Chateaux luxury lodge situated in the unforgettable Kapama Private Game Reserve bordering Kruger National Park. Jabulani Safari Lodge is a wholehearted five-star safari camp and lavish lodge named after an orphaned elephant calf. Proud of their Relais & Chateaux accreditation, go to Camp Jabulani for your next dream African safari holiday in the unforgettable Kapama Private Game Reserve. Jabulani – place of the elephants and place of conservation refuge where guests can become part of something greater, a deep conservation initiative with ecotourism the central pivot.

Jabulani Kruger Park Lodge is the best safari destination in the Greater Kruger National Park to see and interact with elephants.  Grab the unbelievable opportunity to meet and spend time with the herd of elephants as part of the Jabulani Elephant Experience in Kapama Game Reserve, Limpopo Province. Watch playful splashing and spraying during the midday swim, track the herd on foot and participate in field research.

A special team of elephant carers support the orphaned calves and reintroduce them back into the wild. The wild herd is a rescued herd of elephants from Zimbabwe who have settled in well at Jabulani Safari Camp and now accept new calves into their group as and when they are found and rescued as orphans in the bushveld. 

Camp owners started HERD (Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development) to rehabilitate these orphans and today, the luxury lodge, Camp Jabulani, helps to fund this enormous program and labour of love. Get to know the elephants on a much deeper level, learn how important they are to the bigger picture of a game reserve ecosystem and become part of the rescue of the planet in a sustainable tourism endeavour. 

Choose from only 6 superior suites at Jabulani Lodge and the exclusive Zindoga Villa for that extra touch of sophistication and glamour in the wilds of South Africa. 

Zindoga Jabulani is a huge three bedroomed villa made for extravagant living in the bush, with a private butler and game ranger on hand, polished wooden floors and plush decor fit or a king or queen. With enough room for 6 adults and 2 kids, Zindoga is a place to retreat to if you want exclusive treatment far away from the madding crowds. Sit on the vast deck and watch the stars come out as the wildlife ventures closer to your lights. 

Friends for life are made with the Jabulani Lodge game rangers and trackers who share their knowledge with you about all the animals and their endangered habitats, the tiny critters and the huge trees and birds. Your dedicated Jabulani ranger will take you on thrilling walking safaris to get up close to the elephant and the flora, the insects and the retiles, the rodents and the huge mammals. Something you will never forget.

Overview

The Jabulani Game Lodge Elephant Experience affords Jabulani guests the opportunity to meet and spend time with the herd in Kapama Private Game Reserve in Limpopo Province. Meet the elephant carers who have spent the past 20 years bonding with the elephants and keeping them safe. 

It all started in 1997 when the first elephant calf was rescued, rehabilitated and returned to the wild herd. Then a herd of orphaned elephants was rescued in Zimbabwe in 2002, and so it continued until the formation of the HERD (Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development) today.

Following in gigantic footsteps a senior trails guide, senior elephant keeper and ranger will take guests on an adventure to track the elephants within the Big Five Kapama Private Game Reserve. Spend the afternoon watching and hearing their individual stories once the herd at Jabulani Camp has been located. At sunset, guests meet up with the herd as they enjoy their last drink at the dam and follow them back to the elephant camps to bid them goodnight – an unforgettable and inspiring experience. 

A Jabulani safari comes with sublime accommodation in the form of 6 lavish suites for 12 guests aaaaaaator the gorgeous private Zindoga villa for 6 people, children included.
