Jabulani

Kruger National Park, South Africa

Elephant enthusiasts will love Jabulani. Nestled in Kapama Private Game Reserve - abundant in these magnificent creatures and the rest of the Big Five - we love Jabulani’s rustic country vibe with a touch of glamour.

There a six suites altogether, plus one luxurious Zindoga Villa. The six suites are scattered along a dry riverbed, offering an indulgent retreat hidden amongst the trees. The décor is homely and romantic, with gigantic glass doors that open out onto the private decking with a plunge pool. Inside, each suite has a cosy separate lounge, a glamorous bedroom with a double bed, and an open-plan bathroom.

The Zindoga Villa is perfect for families. There are two double-bedded suites joined together by a spacious lounge and dining area, and both have their own private plunge pool built into the rocks. There is also an adjoining twin-bedded suite that is fantastic for children. The décor reminds us of an old-time country house, and we love that the villa comes with a private driver, chef and butler.

The main house itself adopts traditional African décor, with lots of natural furnishings, cosy seating areas, and an airy open-plan dining room. There’s even a spa and a gym, so there’s plenty to do in between fascinating game drives. Our favourite past time is an incredible bush walk – there’s no doubt you’ll meet the elephant herds that reside in this vast terrain.

Jabulani are currently building their own elephant nursery - the first in South Africa - in order to bring young, orphaned elephants closer to their resident herd. The nursery is set to be a fabulous way to see smaller elephants and watch how the develop alongside the older elephants already close by to Jabulani.
