Simply amazing place. I loved every minute of my stay. Location above the river is incredible, the river bed below is teeming with wildlife including hippos, elephants, giraffes, water buffalo, birds all visible from your room or the deck. The rooms are stunning and so comfortable with everything you could ever want or need. The meals and food are delicious and plentiful, the staff so friendly and helpful and the game drives are brilliant. You are in the park so no queuing at the gate to enter. Go here and don't bother going anywhere else. It's totally worth it.

The property is wonderfully situated next to the river and animals can be seen at all times of the day from the common area or your balcony. The game drives were absolutely amazing. We got the big 5 and so much more! Staff are lovely and guides knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Umkumbe Riverside Lodge! Best Christmas morning of my 59 years.

The lodge was beautiful and the staff wonderful. Our guide James was amazing we saw everything big and small. The dinners were incredible and they do cater to dietary restrictions which was really nice to see. Breakfast was good, but average, the dinners are above and beyond. We received some muffins prior to the morning the safari and then some light snacks on the tour. There is no lunch but rather some light snacks provided which we found sufficient to tide over until dinner after the night safari as you do also get some more light snacks on the tour. This place is worth your money. Only thing i would consider is that there is no AC in the rooms, there is one fan above the bed and i would imagine in summer it would get really hot.

We absolutely loved the staff and the very warm welcome!! The accommodations were excellent. The food was phenomenal, and the chef even prepared delicious vegetarian food for half of our family! The airport pick-up staff was friendly and starting showing us animals as we drove from the airport to our lodging. The view of the river from our private patio was just gorgeous, and we witnessed a family of elephants coming down to the river upon arrival. The evening drive and the morning drive were perfect and we were able to see the Big 5… actually only 4 ( didn’t see a rhino) but we all learned so much! We enjoyed every moment and appreciated the parka jackets ( a very cold morning!) and mountain top break with snacks with the morning game drive. FYI: the morning and evening game drives are included with your stay. Highly recommend Leopard Sands for an amazing Kruger Park experience of a lifetime!

    I had the pleasure of experiencing several game drives at Jock Safari Lodge recently, and I must say that the expertise and dedication of our ranger truly enhanced the entire adventure. He exhibited an exceptional knowledge of the local flora and fauna, providing insightful information and making each game drive an educational and memorable experience. His passion for wildlife conservation was evident, creating a contagious enthusiasm.

    Nothing because the house offered was not what we had booked . On booking.com the properties are not listed as lodges but villas so we got a very old house and the pictures are a mixture of all the places at elephant point

    The highlights were the location of the Train above the Sabi River - unbeatable! Beautiful, well positioned pools, decks, bars and chill areas provide a world class safari and luxurious atmosphere. The food offering at all meals was the best we have experienced at any five star game lodge in South Africa - exceptional! Special dietary requirements are particularly well catered for and the all inclusive drinks policy is a bonus. Staff customer orientation is outstanding - all guest requests were accommodated with enthusiasm.
