Birthday Celebrations Amidst Wildlife

Nolda Potgieter’s review on Google captures the essence of a celebratory weekend: "We had the most amazing birthday celebrations weekend here at Jacana. From the moment you enter Mjejane Game Reserve, the service was 10/10. At the lodge, you are met with beautiful views over the river and we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets from the pool and wooden deck. We were entertained by two brother elephants playing the whole day just like boys do. Sometimes rough and then suddenly all good, walking side by side down to the river for a drink. Had the most amazing night drive, following two lions for a long time. This trip was filled with anxiety and pure wonder. Memorable indeed!"
