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.

"A fantastic 5 day return to the bush - in comfort"

9.0

All the food and support staff were fantastic Fine dining in the bush Throughout the lodge the staff were great Our Ranger, Janni, was exceptional Game drives are always a bit of a lottery but the coordination between Jocks cars was great and we rarely had a dull moment in 9 drives

Bungalows although with excellent outside spaces were a little cramped internally - a function of being one of the oldest lodges. Bar and restaurant facilities were great.

Everything about this hotel was perfect. The setting is incredible with its own private area within the national park. The hotel was luxurious and rooms were all spacious and beautifully decorated with a big decked outside area with plunge pool. The food was delicious especially the special BBQ night. All the staff were so friendly, professional and helpful. The safari experience was fantastic and our ranger Lazarus was amazing. Couldn't rate this place higher.

Nothing at all.

"Simply amazing"

10.0

The Safaris were great, in the large concession area they go off the roads through the bush. There are several river beds. Not the focus, but the landscape is also really beautiful!

The weather :-)

"A most magical experience"

10.0

We just loved everything about Jock. Our ranger Jacob was brilliant with a huge knowledge of the wildlife and we were very lucky to see the big five and much more. All the staff go out of their way to give you an enjoyable experience even making some a special cake for us and singing happy birthday which was totally unexpected but much appreciated. The food is excellent and you certainly won’t go hungry! Our room was very private with it’s own viewing deck overlooking the river bed where you can often see animals passing by and the only noises you hear are those of the animals and it is just magical.
