Property Notes

The lodge is approximately 45 minutes to an hour from the Malelane gate and therefore it is recommended that flights to / from Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (KMIA/MQP) are booked to arrive before 2:30 pm on day of arrival and depart after 10 am on day of departure. The camp is half way between Skukuza and Malelane gates, approximately 22 miles in both directions with only 2 miles of dirt road. Due to the rules and regulations of the Kruger National Park, nobody is allowed on any Kruger National Park roads during the period of gates being closed. Therefore guests must be at their destination by the time the gates close. Jock is located in a malaria area, but incidents are very low. However, guests should still take precautions.Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. Managed by a private host A deposit may be required at the property.

"Excellent."

10.0

The breakfast was great, lots of options! Our ranger was very friendly and attentive and did his absolute best to make sure we got the best views of all the animals. The day bed overlooking the dry riverbed was fantastic, as well as the outside bath.

It was too cold when we went to properly use the plunge pool, but was fantastic otherwise.

"Bathroom facilities were disconnected to the room - outside bath does not work, if you want privacy."

3.0

Game drive and guide was knowledgable.

We had honeymoon suite with bath outside , my wife was unable to bath - too cold and no privacy. The toilet did not have a basin to wash your hands. Badly laid out bathroom facilities

"The stay at Jocks and the safari excursions were a highlight of our stay in South Africa."

10.0

The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The food was plentiful and delicious. The safari excursions were first class.

Only one suggestion for improvement: there is a motion-sensitive light at the coffee station in the room. When one of us got up at night to go to the bathroom, it came on, potentially waking up the other person. I'd suggest having a regular light switch there.

"Everything was amazing! Food, staff, safari, we loved it all!"

10.0

We loved the lodge. It was a truly special experience. Everything. The safari, the food, the environment of the hotel, the facilities, the staffs. It is an expensive experience, but totally worth it if you have the chance to invest!

"An unforgettable experience."

10.0

An oasis of luxury and exceptional hospitality in stunning natural surroundings. We were fortunate in seeing all of the big five during our four game drives and the sightings were enhanced by the consideration and knowledge of our guide. Our experience exceeded my expectations.

"Wonderful stay and unforgettable experience overall"

10.0

The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The rangers were good fun and all very knowledgeable. We successfully managed to see all the big 5, down to the commitment of our ranger. We really enjoyed the evening meal switching location each night and we were lucky enough to sample fine dining and river bbq under the night sky. Overall, a wonderful and an unforgettable stay.
