Jock Safari Lodge

Wildlife Lodge

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.8
 

Jock Safari Lodge, a colonial-style retreat in Kruger National Park, sits at the confluence of the Mitomeni and Biyamiti rivers. This award-winning lodge offers an unrivalled Big 5 safari experience across 6,000 hectares.

The 12 individual thatched suites at the Main Lodge, adorned with elegant colonial-era antiques and Zulu and Shangaan artworks, feature private plunge pools, luxurious bathrooms, and serene views, blending heritage with modern comfort. The nearby Fitzpatrick's Lodge, with three exclusive suites overlooking the river, provides a private bush escape with dedicated chef, waitress, and ranger services, ensuring a bespoke and intimate stay.

Twice-daily game drives and wilderness walks, led by expert rangers, traverse exclusive riverbed routes, revealing elephants, lion prides, buffalo herds, endangered wild dogs, and abundant birdlife. Guests can explore ancient Bushmen rock artworks, dating back 3,000 years, just a short walk away, while the lodge's rich history, inspired by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick's *Jock of the Bushveld*, evokes the courage and loyalty of South Africa's gold rush era.

The fine-dining restaurant serves exquisite cuisine, complemented by a sauna and hydrotherapy spa for ultimate relaxation. Located 35 km from Skukuza airstrip and 150 km from Kruger Airport in Nelspruit, with complimentary parking, Jock Safari Lodge delivers a seamless fusion of conservation, tranquillity, and sophisticated indulgence in South Africa's iconic wilderness.
