"From the moment we arrived at Jabulani, we knew we were in for an extraordinary stay. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel like we were family coming home for a special visit. The property is stunning, the rooms and villas beautifully designed. The Chef is incredible - you will eat like a King. The staff is hands on and available to cater to your every need. The Guides who take you on the game drives (ours was Nathan and he is amazing) are fun and knowledgable so you feel safe and they go out of their way to get you up close and personal to the animals. The vehicles you sit in are Luxury at it's best. They have seat warmers, blankets, a place to hold your things, charging station for your phones, the amenities are top notch like I have never seen. The spa service was divine and The Elephant Experience is a magical bucket list moment. We stayed 3 nights - do yourself a favor and just book 4. You will wish you had. This is Luxury at it's best with a team of people who are passionate and joyful to make your stay one of the best you have ever had."

"A lovely place to relax and enjoy a luxury stay. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wonderful animal experiences to be had."

"We had a really great stay at Jabulani, with great game drive experiences, extraordinary service, food and wine. And the luxury of the Villa was just outstanding. An outstanding experience was the interacting with the elephants, it is simply amazing."

"The most mind blowing stay we’ve ever experienced. We stayed for 3 nights. It was booked as part of a South African tour with our 10 & 13 year old kids. There were a few destinations on our schedule, so I hadn’t fully researched before we arrived and boy was we impressed. It holds 2 Michelin keys, which seemly get awarded for accommodation - Michellin certainly got this right… we stayed in the 2 bed Somopane villa - it was HUGE, the living room was probably 20ft square and the decor was stunning, with several large sofas (even having a bloody great tree in the middle - which the kids climbed) On arrival you meet the chef who discusses likes/dislike’s, so they can construct your menus. The food was unbelievable. Although there was breakfast and lunch daily changing menus, it seemed if your fussy kids wanted something else - there wasn’t anything they could rustle up. Dinners were all in the style of a tasting menu - and they were all excellent. Every room gets their own safari guide and truck. We had a fantastic South African guy called Matt Densham - he was bloody incredible, chatting and educating us throughout. He found us the big 5 and a hell of a lot more. His enthusiasm was unbelievable and was awesome with the kids, who never once moaned (even with a 4:30 start one morning). From watching the other safari reserve to share the park, who you occasionally see around, it seems to pay a little more to go to Jumbalani as otherwise you’re sharing safari cars (we had our own) and they appear to have set driving patterns - we just roared wherever Matt thought we’d find the best bits. Jumbalani also houses rescued elephants, that roam free, but seem comfortable with human interaction - spending an hour feeding these 15 creatures will be a memory the kids won’t ever forget. Nothing was too much trouble, with Matt even taking the kids fishing for catfish in the lake one afternoon. An amazing place and staff . If it’s on your shortlist for consideration - 100% go there and nowwhere else."

"Jabulani was the best experience I have ever had on vacation. The animals, the facility, even the safari felt like luxury. The thing you can’t get from a website is the warmth and care of the people. Kayla was the absolute guide and Richman was a delight! Go visit Jabulani!!!"
