In March 2000, Tony and Shirley Joubert made an extraordinary discovery: a starving, orphaned baby hippo on the banks of the Blyde River. They took her in and cared for her—and so began the story of Jessica, a hippopotamus who has grown up among humans and domestic animals, becoming a beloved part of the Joubert family. Today, Jessica is one of Hoedspruit’s most unique and heartwarming attractions, drawing visitors of all ages to meet this gentle giant. On this special excursion, you’ll have the rare opportunity to spend time with Jessica, witnessing her affectionate and playful nature. Watch as she interacts with the family’s dog, enjoys being fed by hand, and even receives cuddles and affection—something she clearly adores. Jessica’s story is a touching reminder of the bond that can form between humans and wildlife, and this visit promises to be both memorable and uplifting.
