Set within a Big Five private game reserve in the Greater Kruger Park of South Africa, Jabulani’s seven suites and exclusive Zindoga Villa ensure a soulful, personalised and intimate stay. Jabulani was built to help look after a herd of rescued elephants, nearly twenty years ago. Today the Relais & Châteaux Jabulani lodge is a special marriage of conservation and hospitality, a place to meet magnificent wildlife, rest deeply, wine and dine under open skies, enjoy sundowners with elephants, and soulfully reconnect with nature and yourself.
Immerse yourself in the remarkable journey of the Jabulani herd, shared by our team of elephant carers who have walked side by side with the elephants for more than twenty years. Observe the herd, from a respectful and comfortable distance, as they spend their days foraging naturally in the wild. Enjoy the opportunity to understand elephants on a deeper level, as well as to appreciate the importance of the conservation and protection of the elephant species.
The Jabulani chefs take their creative flair outside of the kitchen too, embracing the natural setting we are fortunate to be in, and create innovative and memorable dining experiences for guests, including picnics, bush breakfasts and our renowned sundowner canapés.
True to the reputation of being a Relais & Châteaux accredited property, we approach our gastronomy with brilliant creativity and soulfulness. This paired with our personalised butler service, creates a magical Jabulani Culinary Journey. Jabulani is an all-inclusive experience and all meals and snacks are included during your stay, as well as a wide selection of beverages.
Our twice-daily morning and evening game drives are designed to coincide with the times of day that the wildlife is most active. We take you out into the bush on an open, custom-built safari vehicle, with our experienced and knowledgeable rangers at the helm.
