The hotel
With only 12 luxury suites, all overlooking the river, the superb Jock Safari Lodge offers a true African safari. Situated within the Kruger National Park on a 6,000 hectare private concession, Jock Safari Lodge guests have exclusive access to drive the dry riverbeds providing some truly spectacular private sightings, your ranger will expertly guide you through this beautiful oasis on an open 4x4 vehicle, giving you a full explanation on the animals you will see – from tortoise to elephant and everything in between - plus you can enjoy the Greater Kruger (size of Wales) where further 'Big Five' sightings are plentiful, you can even watch the wildlife from your private plunge pool and sala overlooking the river. After a day of adventure, enjoy your traditional African bush dinner in the boma around the campfire, in the dining room or on your private deck under the African sky – a truly great experience. Relax in the upstairs comfortable bar area overlooking the stunning rock pool whilst enjoying an aperitif before dinner. If you fancy something extra special and romantic, you can choose to sleep out on your sala and the lovely staff will set it all up for you with mosquito nets and lamps, the perfect way to end your trip of a lifetime.
