Let us introduce you to one of South Africa’s most respected five-star safari lodges, part of the iconic Relais & Châteaux group… Jabulani. The essence of Jabulani reaches far deeper than luxury and leisure – it an exceptional twenty-year journey that began with a brave little elephant named Jabulani.

The main lodge features an elegant dining room and lounge that leads to an outside wooden deck that lies beneath the shade of Leadwood trees. Jabulani has a unique suspension bridge over the riverbed that joins the main lodge to their 6 Jabulani Suites and the Zindoga Villa.

Suites

Jabulani suites are discrete in positioning and lavish in detail. They are designed with pure relaxation and intimacy. Each suite opens onto its own private wooden deck that overlooks the riverbed and boasts a heated plunge pool.
Sit in front of your own traditional fireplace in your lounge, which is the perfect romantic setting for in-suite dining or soak away the day in the stone bath while you take in your surroundings of the African bush. Each suite has a semi-outdoor shower where you can enjoy a piece of nature outside, inside.

Dining

Every day a unique menu is created by one of the Jabulani’s chefs, using only the finest, freshest ingredients, which are made to suit guests’ individual needs and taste, giving you a true Relais & Châteaux dining experience.
Jabulani chefs create for guest’s gourmet picnics, bush breakfasts and are renowned for their sundowner canapés. Each meal is put together with their personalised butler service which adds to the Jabulani Culinary Journey.

Safari

Situated on the Kapama Reserve, Jabulani is proud to boast the Big 5. You will get an opportunity on either the early morning drive or on the sunset safari to experience the wonders of the African bush. Jabulani’s flexibility to their guests is like no other and a highlight of any guests’ visit is to get to experience a close encounter with the Jabulani Herd, hearing their story and the 20-year journey which takes us to where we are today.
