Elephant antics
Shortcut Klaserie Klaserie, who turned four in February, is a real character. We've christened her 'Shortcut Klaserie', because whenever she joins us on safari she always looks for the quickest route home. This invariably involves veering off the beaten track, unless of course it doesn't suit her to do so. Which is precisely what happened last week. We noticed some giraffe ...more»

Riding with elephants
Noah climbing onto Setombe Sandi Savadier of Thandeka Africa found herself thoroughly enjoying a decadent slice of humble pie when she visited Camp Jabulani with her two children recently.

Carl at the top of a very long fall A while ago I got a phone call at about midnight from some guests in Room 1 informing me that they were having trouble locking the door of their room.

Mambo smacks a warthog
We train the Camp Jabulani herd using the reward system, which means we give them treats every time they perform an exercise correctly. Research has shown that this form of training produces far better results than one where the animal's spirit is broken and all its actions are fear-based. The training area outside the elephant stables is always littered with warthogs ...more»
