Moholoholo - Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

this unique conservancy is home to many wild
animals. A visit to the Moholoholo Wildlife
Rehabilitation centre is an unforgettable
experience. A wide variety of birds and
animals can be seen here, where Brian Jones
and his team nurture the injured and
orphaned, rehabilitating them for release
back to the wild wherever possible. Those
that are not so fortunate, due to the nature
and extent of their injuries, are cared for
in captivity to educate the many people who
visit Moholoholo each year. Guided tours
through the Centre brings visitors in close
contact with both common and rare species
such as the lovely Crowned and Martial
eagles, Owls & Vultures as well as Serval,
Duiker, Lions, Leopard and many other
animals and birds. The Wildlife
Rehabilitation Centre at Moholoholo
contributes to the conservation of
endangered species and the rehabilitation of

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.
