We loved our stay at Jocks. Our guide Lazarus was amazing and incredibly experienced at spotting the Big 5, tiny birds and snakes, eagles, and other wildlife. The food was great and service was excellent all around. We hope to come back soon with our families.

If you want to go on safari in Kruger National Park, this is the place to stay! Two game drives per day (morning and afternoon/evening) with excellent guides. Because you are staying inside the park, you don’t have to worry about getting in and out of Kruger National Park before the gates close. Also, your guide can explore off-road places as well, getting you to where the animals are! Excellent food and service (all inclusive), spa treatments available on site, and an amazing rooms and facilities that overlook a river bed- you can relax and watch a herd if elephants walk by as you eat your lunch! Highly recommend!

Jan is an excellent ranger, very informative on the Animals at Kruger and their behaviours. We saw Rhinos, Elephants, Leopards, African Dogs, Bison, Impalas Hyenas on our game drives but others at the lodge also saw Lions so the big 5 were around. Special shout-out to Gavin for escorting us from the gate as we arrived late. Gavin's staff also prepared a wonderful riverbed dinner and packed breakfasts for us to go when we had to leave early in the morning during our checkout. The food was amazing, service was excellent. Great job Jock team.

Rekommenderas varmt

Vi hade en fantastisk upplevelse. Safari två gånger om dagen och varje tillfälle varade i tre timmar. Om tillfälle gavs hade vi fikapaus under både morgonens och kvällens Safari. Vår guide var extremt kunnig och hittade de djuren vi ville se samt gav oss bra fotomöjligheter utan att vara respektlös mot djuren. Ingen dag blev den andre lik. Varje lunch och middag skilde sig också åt i form av hur den serverades samt vad som serverades. Redan var en del av vår smekmånad vilket gjorde att de firade oss extra med en privat middag på vår balkong och ett fint utomhusbad med tända ljus. Tyvärr letade sig små kryp in i vårt rum och la sig i sängen vilket resulterade i att vi under natten blev bitna, dock erbjöd man oss allergimedicin men man missade tyvärr sen bädda om sängen vilket gjorde att de var kvar till nästa natt. Finns möjlighet att sova utomhus i en säng med myggskydd om man vill ge sig själv möjligheten att lyssna på alla djur. Vi vill redan tillbaka! Ett fantastiskt ställe om man vill uppleva safarilivet.

5*+ Safari Lodge

This is an amazing hotel, delicious food and drink is all included and the service is friendly but exemplary. On arrival we were on a game drive within the hour and saw the big 5 in one go as well as lots of other animals, birds and reptiles. Our ranger was called Lazarus and he made our stay and drives fun and very interesting and informative. He went over and above what you would expect and always found us different things to see every day. As this lodge has it's own grounds of several hectares you are able to view the game in privacy from all other tourists, though you do go out into Kruger park as well. I couldn't recommend the hotel enough and the game spotting was unbelievable, with lions, elephants, rhinoceros, giraffe, hyenas, wild dogs, zebra etc all within a couple of meters from your vehicle.

Beautiful place with very private setting for each guest. A very memorable safari experience for us as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. From Shelley to the staff at the restaurant to our exceptional Ranger - Jan Kriel, 3 days we will never forget. Game drives were fun and made extra special by Jan who is passionate, full of energy and ready to answer any questions. Jan drove us far out to see animals but we saw the Big 5 by our 3rd game drive. We also saw the Big 5 on day 3. I would summarize it with “WOW”

Amazing experience, highly recommend

I am SO glad I splurged in Jock Safari Lodge. I visited Kruger during a month and a half backpacking trip through Southern Africa where I'm mostly staying at hostels. On the advice of a friend I decided to really splurge for Kruger, spending three nights at Jock. I can honestly say it was worth every penny. Accommodation was truly luxurious: private, with an outdoor shower, tub, and sleeping area, plus private pool, an indoor shower, a sitting area, and netted four-poster bed. The food was delicious and ever-flowing (you get fed every couple of hours, it's a little ridiculous but in the best way). Staff were lovely and friendly. But the best part is the access you get in the park. You get knowledgeable game drives in their private concession, giving you incredible access to the animals. I saw the big five, plus wild dogs and leopards. Just amazing. My only piece of feedback is that it was a bit awkward traveling alone there. While I appreciated the solo game drives, during breakfast and dinner I would have preferred to either be seated by myself or with another guide group. Eating alone with just my guide was a bit odd, even if he was very nice. In the future I'd recommend the manager ask solo travelers what their preference is.

Un superbe lodge bien situé

Notre chambre était superbe, spatieuse, salle de bain originale. Dommage il pleuvait, nous n'avons pas pu profiter de la piscine privée et de la terrasse. Les repas étaient délicieux par contre la salle de restaurant était ouverte et malgré le feu de cheminée et la couverture mise à notre disposition nous avons eu froid.
