Africa's Premier Elephant Back Safari Operation
Carl Olen – Once Upon a Time….
A frank account of the last 18 years on Kapama Game Reserve, by Carl Olen
It feels like just yesterday when I drove through the gates of the reserve for the first time. I had no idea what was lying ahead of me, but one thing was for certain … I was glad to leave the city for …Read More
Mpfuri with the wild elephant herd on Kapama Game Reserve
There have been a few important shifts in the dynamics of the Camp Jabulani elephant herd of late.
Sebakwe, Mpfuri and Fishan joined the wild elephant herd on the Kapama Reserve on Friday evening, the 27th of April. They did not return for the rest of the day. The cows of the …Read More
Paula Durham’s image of Jabulani, and groom Stavros
Some of you may have seen this absolutely incredible pic when the link was shared on our Facebook wall in early March. But we had to share it again, with a bit of context.
This image, captured by Paula Durham in September 2011, has been entered as one of the 50 finalists …Read More
Carl reflects on one of our most precious resources in the wake of National Water Week, 6-11 MARCH 2012, and as we prepare to celebrate International Water Day on the 22nd March.
“Water is life: Respect it, Conserve it and Enjoy it”
We are utterly reliant on the Klaserie River at Camp Jabulani. Water is pumped …Read More

We recently had the pleasure of hosting an agents’ educational at Camp Jabulani. We invited some of our Capetonian partners to join us in the bush, and lured them from The Mountain with a promise of some extraordinary elephant encounters. We didn’t have to work too hard to lure …Read More
Carl the intrepid ranger
We once had a South African couple stay with us. They were the only two guests in camp at the time, and since the game rangers were exhausted from the very busy month we’d just had, I decided to give the guys a much needed break and look after them myself. It was early July, …Read More

Growing up!
A leopard in our midst
The term ‘elephant back safari’ takes on a whole new meaning in the summer months. Plains game such as warthogs, giraffe and antelope are abundant at the moment, so guests are treated to a smorgasbord of viewing from the vantage point of their massive rides. But those lucky enough to be out with us on Friday were …Read More
The kind of dangerous wildlife you can expect to see at Camp Jabulani
A few years ago I woke up one morning at about 2am and just couldn’t fall asleep again. After about a half an hour of tossing and turning I decided to go and watch TV in the lounge. I didn’t switch on the light because I didn’t want to wake up my wife. Being an …Read More
Jabulani interacting with guests
Jabu the pickpocket
We always make a point of introducing the guests to their rides prior to going on walk. It’s only polite after all. Jabulani is our elephant of choice for these ‘getting to know you’ demonstrations, as he’s such a mild-mannered sort. The thing is, the fact that’s he’s so laidback also means he …Read More
