Thank you to the whole team for making this dream trip a reality. This was my 6 of 7 continents trip and South Africa did not disappoint. Kyle, our guide, was exceptional and ensured we got to see the Big 5. His passion is contagious and his knowledge gives you context to what’s happening throughout the game drives. Henlu and the dining team met every request with excitement. He truly works to meet your expectation. Every bite from the game drive snacks to dinner in the Boma were sensational. Do not miss the opportunity to try springbok, wildebeest or kudu! Our butler Isaac as well as Shadrick were always available to meet any need. Their smiles and genuine caring attention made our time at the lodge 5 star. Our thanks as well to all the unseen staff that cleaned our room, washed our clothes and did everything to maintain Jabulani. The environment is constantly in need of maintenance and the team keeps it top notch, so much so that the young bull elephant wandering the dry river bed would love to book a suite!

Best place to go to a safari! My wife and I spent our honeymoon there and it was absolutely perfect! Staff was incredibly thoughtful, did multiple romantic surprises for us and were super helpful throughout our stay. The private park has A LOT of animals to see, including of course the Big 5, and our guide Matthew knew exactly where to find each animal we wanted to see. The hotel itself is also very luxurious, including a private chef (ours was Alex, amazing food!!) and a butler (thanks Shadi, the kindest person ever!).

The service was wonderful and we were well taken care of by our exceptional guides, we had Nathen and he educated us on everything around us. We were able to see The Big Five and many more animals during our three night stay. The villas are very private, with beautiful netting around the bed. The vehicles they use are tops for comfort and they have a canvas roofing which is terrific to keep you out of the sun.

After staying at Jabulani last year, I was eager to visit again shortly after, this time as a solo traveler. My experience was nothing short of perfect. This continues to be a magical place with incredible animal sightings, delicious food, and all around great staff. The curated experience makes you feel like you're the only guest staying there. I'm once again looking at dates to travel back to Jabulani for a third time!
