A bizarre piece of news but one guaranteed to make you a whole lot more comfortable on an elephant (You don't think it matters, have you ridden one?) Camp Jabulani in South Africa has created tailor made elephant saddles to take their luxury elephant back safaris to a whole new level. These über-comfortable saddles take two weeks to create and each one is carefully moulded to fit the shape and form of each and every elephant. Adine Roode of Jubulani explains: "We take the exact measurements of each elephant and adjust the saddles accordingly to their growth. The saddles are like carefully created Savile Row tailored suits." Apparently the design of the saddles has taken years to perfect, finding the right type of foam, the correct stitching, fabric that is both durable yet comfortable on the skin to the actual cut and shape. As the elephants grow, new saddles have to be made so the workshop is constantly in production at Camp Jabulani.
