Our Rhino Conservation Safari offers a unique insight into the white rhino and its behavioural patterns. During the three night, four day programme a group of 2 (min) to 10 (max) guests will accompany an allocated ranger to explore the reserve and spot rhinos. Prior to venturing out, guests will undergo a comprehensive briefing and be given specific roles.

Our vet will then join the group and set off in a helicopter to dart the targeted white rhino. Once the rhino is darted and sedated, the participants will join the specialist ranger team on the ground and assist with administering the necessary medication, taking measurements for scientific and medical purposes and monitoring the animal while it is still sedated. Participants will also have an opportunity to witness as the rhino horn is drilled for the insertion of a microchip, and to perform an ear-notching procedure for future identification. Both of these tasks are important for the preservation of the rhino.

Jabulani has been instrumental in the support and preservation of the rhinoceros population since its successful introduction to the Kapama Game Reserve in 1989. A game relocation programme was introduced, and as a result the Kapama Game Reserve today supports a wide variety of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, and large populations of giraffe, impala, blue wildebeest and kudu. Predators include lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena and many smaller species.

Through The Rhino Conservation Safari, Jabulani offers its guests the rare opportunity to help preserve this endangered species.

Jabulani is one of the largest private game reserves in South Africa, and it is owner-run and managed with a strong focus on conservation and community development. There is 16 000 hectare/39536,861 acre of pristine bushveld. Apart from the traditional safari activities, guests can partake in, ‘Big Game’ walks, volunteering initiatives and cultural visits.
