A river ran right through it

I would like to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every staff member at Camp Jabulani. Under the captaincy of Camp Managers, Carl & Elsie, they all stayed calm, acted timeously, put …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

Elsie Olen (Camp Manager) and Adine Roode (Managing Director) have long dreamt of starting a wormery and recycling the kitchen and garden waste at Camp Jabulani. Not realizing that elephant dung is actually one of the worms’ favourite foods, they waited patiently until there was room for the wormery in the budget.
At long last they were able to order the …Read More
One of the most frequent requests we get on drive is to find a kill as it’s happening. Being in the right place at the right time can prove challenging, but we always do our best to ensure our guests leave here having experienced the full ‘safari enchilada’.
A little while ago we …Read More
Friends by Dave Smith
We’re always open to trying new things here at Camp Jabulani, especially if it’s in the best interests of our ellies. A while ago Tokwe sustained an injury to her leg. A wound developed as a result, and we’ve been struggling to get it to heal ever since. Initially we treated it with a broad spectrum antibiotic, and …Read More
Years ago, long before Camp Jabulani and its herd of elephants even existed, I was a ranger and manager at another lodge on the Kapama Nature Reserve. On his arrival, Mr Holland – a guest from the USA – informed me that the three days he was spending with us were the sum total his African safari, and that all he …Read More
