Don't miss Caamp Jabulani - thank you Connie

We recently returned from a South African Safari expertly arranged and planned meticulously by Connie Ebright of Ebright Travel (she specializes in Safaris!).
Camp Jabulani was one of the highlights of our trip (but oh so many highlights!). From the Camp Jaulani family villa (heaven on earth) to the first lunch of shrimp cocktail, duck and salmon and peach tartin tan, to the top-notch hospitality provided by new manager Kate, we were bowled over. Compliments to the chef there. My 17 year son said his lunch was the best meal he had ever eaten!!
On to our night trip into the bush with great guide Werner (saw lion just killed warthog), back to Camp for a superb dinner in the lodge, just the four of us, with great butler, by a gorgeous fireplace. Then, we spent way too long with Werner helping us buy many Ostrich Eggs.
Highlight next day (and for me on the trip) was the visit to the Jabulani owned Endangered Species Center where they are caring for injured and endangered animals to return to the wild. Could go on forever.
We saw every animal you could think of (including wild dog puppies-twice). Stayed at three other great camps: 1) Kirkmans Camp (loved guide/tracker Rikus and Richard!), Tanda Tula, and Ngala Tented (loved Guide Scott). All camps in Kruger National Park area.
Thank you to Connie Ebright for her excellent taste in arranging amazing vacations and giving us the "trip of a lifetime" as they say. Do not miss Camp Jabulani!
