Jabulani Safari Announces Next Phase of Its Brand Evolution with Lodge Enhancements and Expanded Wellness Offering

Following the recent launch of its refined new brand identity, Jabulani Safari is pleased to announce the next phase in its ongoing refinement, with a series of lodge enhancements set to roll out over the coming months.

The refurbishment project will include the addition of Three New Signature Suites and Wellness Centre, further strengthening Jabulani’s wellness offering and enhancing the property’s positioning within the high-end luxury safari market. In addition, the lodge’s existing kitchen, dining, and lounge areas will undergo a complete redesign to align with the property’s renewed brand direction and guest experience philosophy.

These enhancements form part of Jabulani’s long-term vision to continue delivering a deeply personal and emotionally immersive safari experience while responding to the evolving expectations of the global luxury traveller.

The new signature suites and wellness centre will expand the lodge’s accommodation and wellness experience, creating additional opportunities for restorative, slow-travel-focused itineraries. The redesigned central lodge spaces will introduce a refreshed contemporary aesthetic while maintaining the intimate atmosphere and strong sense of place for which Jabulani is known.

To facilitate the refurbishment process, Villa Zindoga will temporarily close for six weeks from 1 November 2026. During this time, the villa will operate as an extended main lodge area while renovations to the existing communal spaces are underway. This phased approach has been carefully planned to minimise operational disruption and ensure continuity in guest experience throughout the refurbishment period.

What’s Changing

Over the coming months, Jabulani will introduce several key upgrades:

• Three New Signature Suites
• Full Redesign of Main Lodge Areas
• New Wellness Centre

During this time:

• The villa will be integrated into the main lodge experience
