WONDERING where to take your loved one during this month of love, look no further than the heart of Zimbabwe, at a place that caters for the most diverse traveller offering an eco-adventure of a lifetime — Jabulani Safaris.
Situated in natural Savannah and rocky outcrops 25km from Shangani, which is 64km from Gweru and 100km from Bulawayo is home to a variety of plain game.
Jabulani Safaris offers safe and environmentally sound adventure-based activities for all nature lovers that include game drives and nature walks.
Interested in bonding through fishing or canoeing the lengths of the dam, then fear not because Jabulani offers its visitors farm dam fishing and for those who would rather show off their strength how about that upward ascent on the kopjes, mountain biking and abseiling.
According to the owners of the place, Jabulani is not limited to those activities only but there is a treat for cultural enthusiasts as there are tours of the Bhila and Naletale ruins on offer. Zimbabwe is known for its rich culture and heritage and a visit to Jabulani will guarantee knowledge of that culture as the experienced guides are at hand to educate and entertain guests with tales of the past.
Jabulani has eight ensuite lodges and two dormitories for those that like to travel in groups like my friends and I. It also has a pool for cooling down during the high temperature seasons synonymous with the region and a traditional pavilion and entertainment area.
A day or days spent at this serene destination will rekindle all those lovey dovey feelings and be sure to catch the sunset and you sit with your loved one and enjoy the quietness and serenity of the bush.
Jabulani prides itself in providing for its visitors a peaceful environment as seen by their catch phrase “where peace is paramount”.
February is the month of love so be sure to take advantage of the specials on offer throughout the month and spoil your partner as you create new memories.
I am headed there to wind down, watch the animals and maybe catch some fish with my girlfriends.
To enjoy this destination, activities range from $5 to $25 and rooms are going for $50 bed and breakfast.
Visit Zimbabwe and enjoy what our beautiful country has to offer. Let’s keep traveling and supporting domestic tourism.
