Jabulani Safari Relais & Chateaux

Excellent accommodation, staff made us feel as home, safety was to high standards . Safari was a unique experience . If you have the opportunity to visit Kruger stay at Jabulani.

We recently returned from our first Southern Africa trip which included two different safari camps. Jabulani's featured elephant-back safari experience was unique, and the daily jeep-board excursions with informative wildlife guide were exceptional. The personalized service was superlative and the food quality and meal presentations were memorable. All in all, this was a memorable trip of a lifetime and highly recommended.

Jabulani Safari Lodge was our second lodge experience. We had previously stayed at a larger lodge with more guests, and in order to fully enjoy our honeymoon, we chose to spend two nights here. The experience could not have been more incredible. With only six suites and two villas, the lodge offers a unique atmosphere — it feels like being in your own private home, but with six-star service. We were warmly welcomed by Portia, who is absolutely delightful. Everything at the lodge is highly exclusive and personalized. The setting is beautiful, with a charming vintage feel — truly exceptional. We had lunch upon arrival, overlooking the lake. The food was phenomenal, and the chef personally came to our table to explain each dish, which made the experience even more special. Richman, who took care of us throughout our stay, was outstanding — extremely professional, attentive, and kind. Our suite was very spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a private plunge pool on the deck and a large bathroom. One small note is that, on very hot days, the air conditioning may struggle slightly to cool the entire room due to its size. On our first day, we had an elephant experience, which was undoubtedly the highlight of our entire trip. It was truly special to interact with and learn more about these rescued animals. Later, we watched them walk in a line by the lake at sunset — an unforgettable sight. We then went on a night safari and returned to a beautifully set, very romantic dinne
