Jock Safari Lodge

“Amazing experience at Jock”

We had an amazing 3 nights stay at Jock. From the staff at the lodge to our ranger Cindi, everything was more than great. The service is amazing, the food excellent, everyone is so kind and smiling - highly recommended!

“An experience like no other.”

I am going to try and review about our incredible time at Jocks Lodge. From the time we were collected at Skukuza airport to the time we were dropped back, we had the most amazing time, an experience my husband and I will never forget. Our guide Mayneth was just wonderful. He had a sixth sense regarding where the animals would be and was always right. His knowledge and expertise was astounding. He made our Safari out of this world. Jocks Lodge was stunning, set right in the heart of the Krueger, it was magical. Our room was fantastic, everything you could possibly need and with an amazing view. The food was superb, everything was cooked to the highest standards and so good. All the people working there were wonderful, so friendly and helpful, they made our trip extra special. Thank you everyone for the best time, we will never forget it.

We spent ages looking for the right place for our stay in Kruger. We opted for Jock Safari Lodge because everything was included - no surprise fees - and it’s a private concession area in the southern part of the park which meant it was easy to get to for us. I didn’t know what a private concession was but it’s basically a private part of the Kruger National Park which no one other than guests at Jock Safari Lodge can access. You also get access to the public areas of Kruger too so the area available is huge. The other reason we picked Jock Safari was because it’s in the park so game drives aren’t restricted by park gate opening times. On our first morning, we drive out of the front gate of the lodge and saw a leopard within 5 minutes! The game drives were excellent. We had a total of 4 people plus our guide, Patrick, in the jeep. Each drive was about 3 hours long and included a stop for a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening. Again, the advantage of Jock Safari is that in the private concession you can get out of the jeep and walk around - which I don’t think you can do in the public areas of Kruger. If we get to go back to Jock Safari, we’ll definitely be asking for Patrick to be our guide - he was brilliant! The rooms at the lodge are great. Really clean and comfortable. We had an outdoor day bed (with a mosquito net) and a small plunge pool with sun loungers. Our view was onto the river bed. Each day around lunch time we could sit and look at an elephant right from our balcony area! Food at the lodge is also excellent! The best lamb I’ve ever had as well as countless other delicious dishes. You won’t go hungry. There tea, coffee and drinks before each game drive too. The staff were wonderful and so friendly. We forgot binoculars so they were kind enough to find a pair for us to borrow. (Definitely take your own binoculars though!) Overall, I can’t recommend Jock Safari Lodge enough. It’s a lot more expensive than what we would normally pay but worth every penny!

“An outstanding three day experience of Safari based at Jock Safari Lodge.”

This was a truly memorable experience in every way. The hallmark stated was boundless hospitality and indeed this was our experience.

The staff could not have been more attentive and our experience of the morning and evening drives into The Kruger Park outstanding. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
