Activities
Game drives
are undertaken in open safari vehicles every morning
and evening with the camp's highly trained rangers
and trackers. Walking safaris can also be arranged.
At the end of the day, a hearty bushveld dinner is
taken at the open boma next to the pool where one can
relax by the crackling campfire, listening to the night
sounds of Africa as the animals come to drink at the
floodlit waterhole.
Wildlife
The Lodge is named after the
beautiful Jackalberry tree that occurs widely in
the Southern African bushveld. It is just one of
the fascinating trees and shrubs that allow the bushveld
to support such a wide variety of animal and insect
life. The bush around the camp teems with game. More
than 60 species of wildlife can be found in the immediate
vicinity and Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant,
Hyena and Cheetah are all common.
Jackalberry is also a paradise for bird-watchers.
More than 280 species have been recorded at Jackalberry
and any bird watcher will be fascinated by the sounds,
colors and habits of the bird life here. A sure sign
that Spring has come to Jackalberry is when the piercing
cries of the Wahlbergs Eagles begin to drift down
over the bush after months of absence. No fewer than
ten eagle, three falcon and five vulture species
have been recorded in the area, as well as a host
of other raptors.
At nightfall, by spotlight, keep an eye open for
the shining eyes of the Lesser Bushbabies as they
leap from tree to tree, the deliberate pacing of
a Civet searching for fruit, the sight of a bad-tempered
Porcupine shuffling along, and if you are very lucky,
the lumbering Aardvark out for a night's ant and
termite hunting.
