All grown up
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 ...more»

A close call

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 ...more»

Some of the herd members get up to no good
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 can ...more»

Expanding our eco-initiatives
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 ...more»

A kill of a different kind
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 returned to the lodge exhausted after sitting in ...more»
