Dinokeng Big Five Game Reserve
The Joy
of Africa
Glamping & camping in the heart of Dinokeng Big Five Game Reserve — just 45 km from Pretoria.
Jabula means Joy.
Welcome
Where Joy Meets
the Wild
Jabula means Joy. We’re a private family-owned bush camp in the Dinokeng Big Five Game Reserve — close to the city but still closer to nature, where you can relax in the tranquility of the bushveld.
Jabula Bush Camp consists of four spacious, self-catering glamping tents, each with its own private splash pool, accommodating 2—6 guests (4 adults and 2 children). As well as six fenceless bush camp sites where the Big Five roam freely — each with a private ablution block and wash-up area with hot water and battery-operated lights.
Eco-friendly and in a malaria-free area. Only 45 km from Pretoria and 90 km from Johannesburg.
