2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Alpine White

Trip to Jabulani Safari

Hi all,

We recently went on a quick break to Jabulani Safari in Hoedspruit, close to the Kruger National Park. It's a Relais & Chateaux lodge, and we highly recommend it!

Most of the photos are of ellies, because the reserve contains Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development (https://herd.org.za/), an elephant orphanage, where one can interact with the ellies, feed them, etc.

Some of the ellies featured in the Netflix movie Holiday In The Wild (https://www.netflix.com/title/80231468), and parts of the movie were also filmed there.

Here are some photos, video will be up in a few days

Beautiful. Disappointed that there are no Defenders in the wild photos though

^ that's cos the only Puma in their fleet was in the shop

jokes aside, very few lodges run Defenders, they've all converted to Land Cruisers due to reliability concerns --
