A UNIQUE HERD Meet and interact with rescued elephants... Camp Jabulani safari lodge situated in the Kapama Private Game Reserve in Hoedspruit has recently updated its elephant experience to allow for a more immersive interaction, where human and elephant meet on equal terms. Guests are invited to one of the waterholes on the reserve to watch the elephants enjoying their daily swim, before joining a senior trail guide, a senior elephant keeper and a ranger to track the Jabulani elephants within the reserve. Tracking takes place from the comfort of a safari vehicle, and under the guidance of the Jabulani team. Guests learn how to use their senses to detect the animals in their natural habitat. Once the herd has been located, the afternoon is spent watching the animals, hearing more about their individual stories and personalities and how to identify them. campjabulani.com
