Jock Safari Lodge

Miranda Vaughan-Floyd

We spent 3 nights at Jock at the end of April and it was such a unique and exceptional experience! From the moment we were picked up from Skukuza airport, the staff at Jock took such great care of us. The food, drinks, room and spa at the lodge are all incredible on their own, but the effort the staff put in make each of these spectacular. Our Braai night on the riverbed under the stars, our guided nature walk from the lodge and our lunchtime cocktails were a few highlights while we were at the lodge, but it was our twice daily game drives with our guide Philip that really made this trip unforgettable. The knowledge he had, from plants and animals to the technology to fight poachers, as well as his ability to spot animals on our drives was truly amazing. We enjoyed how small the lodge is (maximum 24 people), which allowed us to get to know some of the other guests. We were the youngest there by quite a bit, but everyone was happy to chat and get to know each other, and even play a board game or 2 together!

Our trip was sensational. Seeing the animals in their element (yes, the big 5) was a highlight of my life, Luxury accommodations, delicious food, amazing people/staff and worth every second! Extra high props to our Ranger Mayneth. This brilliant man knew every answer to every question…and there were lots. We knew how to read all of the animals body language, kept us safe and showed us the time of our lives. I would go back in a heart beat!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Jock Safari Lodge and we cannot recommend this enough for anyone planning a safari in Kruger National Park! The lodge itself is in an incredibly remote location where you are able to see TONS of animal and bird species on your twice-daily game drives. The guides were extremely nice and knowledgeable - Lazarus was our guide for the week we were there and he helped make our game drives extremely memorable! I actually came down with a bit of a sickness one of the days at the lodge and the staff was so incredibly helpful to make sure I felt better. Gavin & Precious in particular checked in on me and I truly appreciated it. This is an all inclusive lodge and the price is well worth the amenities, services, and friendly staff. Highly recommend Jock!

As other people have written - our experience at Jock was incredible. I cannot recommend it highly enough or thank the staff enough - truly an all round once in a lifetime experience. The location is spectacular, the lodges are superb and the staff are wonderful. In particular three people stood-out. Albert - professional, calm and attentive. Hope - warm, effervescent and fun. Micha - the main man! Incredible knowledge, experience and wisdom . He wanted us to have the best possible bush experience - and he delivered. The stars - of course - are the animals. We saw everything - all the big 5 plus many, many more including cubs, kills and mating(!). Thank you again. Its breath-taking. I will never forget it.

Words cannot describe the amazing experience my best friend and I had at Jock. It was the most incredible week of my life! The lodge, staff, location, and game drives were absolutely perfect. Our guide, Dawid (yes, with a "W") was wonderful; we were so fortunate to get him. The entire trip was a blessing! If anyone is contemplating about where to stay at Kruger, look no further. This is it!
