In September we will introduce a group of safari travelers to &Jabulani Safari, a most amazing experience.

Someone got a little too close to a porcupine on his wilderness trail 🐾 Porcupines might not seem a big threat to a predator like a lion, but these animals are equipped with fierce quills that they release as a defense mechanism when predators get too close. The resulting wounds can lead to deadly infections for an unlucky few.

The power of connection…

The Power of Connection: featuring Azzie & Marco 🦍🌍

Chimpanzees, like humans, thrive in communities where social bonds are the fabric of their lives. These bonds are not just about survival but also about forming deep connections, expressing emotions, and learning from one another. 🧡🐵

Today we appreciate the complex and beautiful social dynamics of chimpanzee troops and are grateful to witness their interactions, from playful moments to acts of compassion, and discover the profound similarities between their society and ours. 🌟🌳

Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre is a MUST visit when on safari in South Africa. If you are anywhere near it, take the time to explore HESC and learn about the incredible work they do to save endangered species. We will be hosting a group of clients on safari in September and we’ll stay at Jabulani Safari . We will take our guests to the Centre while there.
