Jabulani is a unique and soulful safari experience–and the place where the story of HERD began.
Each night you stay at Jabulani, a contribution of R1000 goes towards the care of the elephants at HERD.
Set within a Big Five private game reserve in the Greater Kruger Park of South Africa, Jabulani’s six suites, Villa Somopane and exclusive Zindoga Villa ensure a soulful, personalised, and intimate stay. Jabulani is not your usual safari lodge.
A proud member of Relais & Châteaux, our lodge is a special marriage of conservation and exceptional hospitality, a place to view magnificent wildlife, rest deeply, wine, and dine under open skies, enjoy sundowners with elephants, and soulfully reconnect with nature and yourself. Each spacious suite is discrete, luxurious, and complimented by both a private deck and plunge pool.
The lodge was originally built to sustain the Jabulani herd, who today, have become renowned for their unique acceptance of wild orphaned elephants-a story that has inspired the world.
Guests have the opportunity to learn about the elephant herd, spend time with the passionate elephant carers and hear their insightful stories about their life journeys with these precious animals, as well as watch the elephants during their midday swims or while they forage with their carers in the wilderness.
Jabulani is a soulful safari experience that you will stay with you forever
