Be inspired, enlightened, educated and enthused by this memorable and respectful opportunity to meet and learn more about some of the Jabulani herd elephants and their passionate carers.
Arrive at sunrise to meet a few members of an extraordinary family, the Jabulani Herd. Delve deeper into the biology and physiology of these gentle giants while learning about each elephant’s unique personalities and remarkable stories.
The respectful 90-minute experience takes place at the Jabulani elephant homestead, which borders the HERD elephant orphanage. The Orphanage does not allow the public to visit their premises or to view the orphans, to keep their stress levels to a minimum.
The Jabulani Herd elephants that you will meet represent the rest of the herd which they join a little later to continue foraging during their days in the Kapama Private Reserve. There will be between two to three elephants introduced who remain behind a low partition creating a respectful distance between the elephants and the visitors.
Visitors will have an opportunity to provide some elephant snacks to each elephant, as well as a chance to take a snapshot memory of the memorable experience, with the guidance of the carers.
Complimentary coffee and tea with biscuits will be provided upon arrival and available to enjoy until the end of the experience.
Following your Elephant Moments experience, you will have the opportunity to purchase a souvenir in our gift shop, with proceeds going towards the HERD TRUST.
Please note: the Jabulani Lodge Guests enjoy a variety of exclusive elephant experiences different to the Elephant Moments Mornings. For more information about the lodge experience go to www.jabulanisafari.com

The experience was one of the highlights of our holiday. We were made very welcome by all the staff. We felt we had plenty of time with each elephant, plenty of fantastic photo opportunities which we can share with our families and friends. The experience will be recommended to any of our friends going to South Africa. - Janet
Very nice experience which I would recommend. *Informative *Elefant/animal friendly and respectfull! *Nice picture opportunaty moments - Esther
This was my second visit to Elephant Moments and it won't be my last. So magical to be interacting with these gentle giants - full of majesty. I know our visit benefits the sanctuary but I come away feeling uplifted. The carers make sure everyone has an opportunity to interact with the bulls, taking great pains to explain the story about each individual. Cannot say enough positive about the experience! Wonderful way to start one's day!! - Inez
We had a fantastic experience, a dream come true. We are huge fans of HERD and the entire team, and being able to see them in person, share a bit of our culture with all the workers who are true heroes, and interact with the elephants, was truly a life achievement. Mr. Godknows, Anri and Juan welcomed us very warmly, in a very loving way, and instructed us on everything about the day-to-day life of the elephants. It was a great pleasure to be with the HERD family!! - Fernanda
I had a fantastic moment with the elephants - Tshiwela
