Elephant Back Safari's
Try a two and a half hour big game experience on an elephant at Camp Jabulani - named after the elephant Jabulani,, who was just a year when he became trapped in a mud pool near Phalaborwa. His herd attempted to rescue him but to no avail. Human intervention was called for and Jabulani was rescued. With no place to go, Lenta Roode of Kapama Game Reserve took Jabulani in. After a few years the search for a family for Jabulani brought about the merger between Lenta Roode and Rory Hensman's 12 Elephants from Zimbabwe. All thirteen elephants are now based at Camp Jabulani on Kapama. All the elephants have saddles, which can seat two people. The saddle has a pommel to hold onto and stirrups to support your legs and feet. A maximum of 17 people can be accommodated per safari. Both morning elephant safari and evening elephant safaris are available. Recommended dress is long pants with closed shoes. We suggest taking along a jacket to keep you warm.
