The Izindlovu Fund run by Ben van Hool and Helen van Hulle from Belgium, has been a firm supporter of HERD from the beginning.
Collectively, as a couple, they gathered friends and family to donate 73 hearts to our 1000 Hearts campaign which we launched in 2019 to raise funding to build the orphanage. It was during that time they decided to launch Izindlovu Fund and took the bold and supportive step of naming a nursery at HERD.
They continually look for ways to help HERD and other respected conservation organisations. Their ONLINE Shop is another avenue that helps raise funds to contribute towards these causes, of which 100% of profits are donated to their selected organisations, including HERD.
The Amarula Trust aims to safeguard the African elephant so that we can keep meeting them under the Marula trees, year after year. Sustainable environmental and educational projects are key to the preservation of our precious heritage.
Amarula is a locally made product of South Africa, using the elephants’ favourite little fruit, the marula. There is just one place on earth where the Marula trees grow – across Africa’s subequatorial plains. And there is just one time of year when the Marula trees bear their exotic fruit – at the height of our beautiful summer.
Because elephants travel for miles to feast on the wild fruit, locals call it ‘The Elephant Tree’.
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 and exclusive Zindoga Villa ensure a highly refined, 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.
Every guest’s experience is tailormade to ensure they enjoy a stay at Jabulani that suits the preferred pace of their precious holiday.
The lodge was originally built to sustain the Jabulani herd, a rescued herd of elephants, who today, have become world-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
