Sustainability
Our Commitment
Jabulani's core focus is sustainable tourism with actively looking at water conservation and recycling. We have focused our attention on limiting the use of plastic especially, single use plastic.
Furthermore, Jabulani was designed and built around the trees of the reserve, ensuring that we did not cut down any tree’s unnecessarily. The thatched roof over the main living areas just outwards by one meter prevents the effects of sun-damage to interiors and utilizing the sun’s energy and daylight to its fullest potential. Significant energy usually wasted by air conditioners and artificial lights is therefore saved. During winter months when the sun is lower and sets earlier, natural heating in reverse is then maximized.
Our various projects include:
- The Bana Grass Project
- Aquaponics
- HERD Elephant Orphanage (built in 2009)
- Elephant Dung Recycling
- Wormery
