It was amazing time at Jock, a rustic chic hotel. We saw all the Big Five twice in two days of Game Drive. Our ranger Jan was excelent. Jock is a fantastic option to stay. The staff was so kind and great. All the meals were so delicious. I really recomend for everbody. The room has everything we need and there is a great view from the bed.

It’s hard to say enough positive things about Jocks. The location, rooms, food, facilities superb. I honestly don’t know how they were able to cook such consistently amazing food in the middle of Krueger park day after day. Jan our guide made sure we saw all of the big 5 multiple times and many many other amazing animals. We had a lovely visit on our deck by a family of monkeys- adorable and very smart-and often saw elephants walking in the riverbed in front of the lodge. But perhaps best of all are the staff. Not sure I’ve ever experienced that level of care. AB, Jan, and all the staff, Thank you! Nancy OConnor

After driving around Kruger on our own for two weeks, we stayed two nights at Jock Safari Lodge and predictably those two nights added so much to our experience. Leopards, lion cubs, lions hunting buffalo, hyena cubs, wild rides through the dry river beds. We had a great time, largely due to our wonderful guide, Jan, who we highly recommend. The room was beautiful, with a huge veranda complete with outside shower, tiny plunge pool, bed in case you wanted to sleep outside, and many other neat features.

Amazing experience fantastic rangers and staff. The ultimate safari and luxury. There is nothing that could had been improved totally perfect. Had safaris twice a day and saw the big 5 and more. Highly recommend this for anyone.

The fine print

The lodge is approximately 45 minutes to an hour from the Malelane gate and therefore we recommend that flights to / from Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (KMIA/MQP) are booked to: arrive before 14h30 on day of arrival and depart after 10h00 on day of departure.

The camp is situated half way between Skukuza and Malelane gates approximately 21.7 miles in both directions with only 1.9 miles of dirt road. Due to the rules and regulations of the Kruger National Park, nobody is allowed on any Kruger National Park roads during the period of gates being closed. Therefore guests must be at their destination by the time the gates close.

Jock is located in a malaria area, but incidents are very low. Guests are advised to take precaution though.

Please inform Jock Safari Lodge in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation.
