Jabulani  (MALE)

The namesake of the Camp Jabulani herd. He was abandoned and left orphaned at the very young age of 4 months, and was hand reared by Lente Roode with her team at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre.

Jabulani is somewhat stubborn, yet highly spirited. The herd has given him the sanctuary of family. He certainly takes advantage of the privilege of being the mascot! Jabulani will always head the team on safari – and quickly rushes back to his position should it be “usurped” by another while he stops for a leafy snack…. He is growing into an impressive animal, and promises to be a very large bull.
