Jabulani Safari
Jabulani Safari













Overview
A soulful safari experience
Experience the extraordinary at Jabulani – one of South Africa’s most revered five-star luxury lodges, where luxury and purpose meet. Jabulani Safari was built on the foundation of rescuing and reintroducing orphaned elephants to new herds. An experience at this exquisite lodge is shared with the gentle presence of the famous Jabulani elephant herds and, as a guest, you will play a crucial role in supporting and protecting the future of these majestic giants.
Situated in the Kapama Private Game Reserve near the Kruger National Park, Jabulani Safari is a proud member of the Relais & Châteaux collection – an accreditation that reflects excellence, fine food, world-class experiences and culture. The lodge enjoys an ideal location within the 15,000 hectare pristine wildlife sanctuary, nestled under the shade of giant Leadwood trees, overlooking an active waterhole.
Jabulani Safari’s signature suspension bridge over the river bed connects six spacious suites and the opulent and ultra-exclusive Zindoga Villa – a three-bedroom self-contained grand villa with a dedicated team of staff including a private chef, butler and private ranger. When not basking in the lap of luxury or meeting the resident elephant herds, guests can enjoy a number of thrilling and unforgettable experiences including safari game drives, thrilling helicopter flips, and romantic hot air balloon safaris.

"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless.
