Jock Safari Lodge

Jock Safari Lodge is one of the very first privately owned camps situated in the world famous Kruger National Park, with exclusive traversing rights in what is regarded as the best Big Five game viewing area in the Kruger National Park. Jock Safari Lodge incorporates the romance and elegance of the past colonial era, and reflects in its unique style the indigenous Zulu and Shangaan cultures.

Property Details

Situated at the confluence of the Mitomeni and Biyamiti Rivers, this luxury lodge offers stunning views, with the pool literally on the confluence. Each air-conditioned luxury suite is set along the rivers, offering all the luxuries yet evoking the style and romance of the past as well as the indigenous Swazi and Shangaan cultures.

Game drives in open Land Rovers, with a professional team of game rangers, offer guests the thrill of close encounters with Africa’s Big Five. Walking safaris, birding safaris and guided historical tours will take you along the paths of legend and mystery. Interpret the signs, sounds and scents of wild animals in this unspoilt wilderness. And when you tire of the thrill of the African bush you can rejuvenate and refresh at the Pilgrims Rest Spa at Jock Safari Lodge.

Jock Safari Lodge is set in the Jock of the Bushveld area in the southern part of the Kruger National Park. It is situated halfway between Malelane and Skukuza and only 284.6 miles from Johannesburg.  Its airport offers a scheduled fly in service.

Jock Safari Lodge’s theme is set by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick’s animal classic ‘Jock Of The Bushveld,’ a story written at the time of South Africa’s first gold rush.

Expectations of comfort and quality will be exceeded at Jock’s Main Safari Lodge. Twelve luxury air conditioned suites offer guests the unique opportunity to experience the gracious style of old world elegance surrounded by unspoiled wilderness.

Each suite has a private sala (outdoor lounge) that overlooks the river. The romantic bathrooms and outdoor showers share the same river view and sightings of animals, including the Big Five can be seen from the comfort and privacy of your own room. Each suite has a king size bed surrounded by walk-in mosquito netting, a small lounge and twin basin bathroom. The private terrace has its own plunge pool and a wooden walkway to a lapa overlooking the riverbed.

Little Jock consists of only three luxury suites and can be booked fully as a complete private experience with your own private butler, chef and game experiences.
