Absolutely fantastic! On the surface it seemed expensive but we felt that we received brilliant value for money - the game drives (with Jacob - our ranger) were excellent!

Beautiful place with very private setting for each guest. A very memorable safari experience for us as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. From Shelley to the staff at the restaurant to our exceptional Ranger - Jan Kriel, 3 days we will never forget. Game drives were fun and made extra special by Jan who is passionate, full of energy and ready to answer any questions. Jan drove us far out to see animals but we saw the Big 5 by our 3rd game drive. We also saw the Big 5 on day 3. I would summarize it with “WOW”

Amazing experience, highly recommend
I am SO glad I splurged in Jock Safari Lodge. I visited Kruger during a month and a half backpacking trip through Southern Africa where I'm mostly staying at hostels. On the advice of a friend I decided to really splurge for Kruger, spending three nights at Jock. I can honestly say it was worth every penny. Accommodation was truly luxurious: private, with an outdoor shower, tub, and sleeping area, plus private pool, an indoor shower, a sitting area, and netted four-poster bed. The food was delicious and ever-flowing (you get fed every couple of hours, it's a little ridiculous but in the best way). Staff were lovely and friendly. But the best part is the access you get in the park. You get knowledgeable game drives in their private concession, giving you incredible access to the animals. I saw the big five, plus wild dogs and leopards. Just amazing. My only piece of feedback is that it was a bit awkward traveling alone there. While I appreciated the solo game drives, during breakfast and dinner I would have preferred to either be seated by myself or with another guide group. Eating alone with just my guide was a bit odd, even if he was very nice. In the future I'd recommend the manager ask solo travelers what their preference is.

An unforgettable safari destination in Kruger
This is the most amazing place I have ever been. Jock Safari Lodge is situated in the heart of Sabi Sands, Kruger National Park South Africa. My wife and I stayed 2 nights and wished we could have stayed at least two more. The villa we had over looked a dry river bed that was frequented by lions, elephants, kudu and impala. The suite was equipped with everything you would expect at a luxury experience: outdoor shower and soaking claw foot tub, private plundge pool and even an option to sleep outdoors. This was an incredible three days where we had the chance to see the Big 5 and then some. We can’t say enough good things about this lodge. The staff are friendly, professional and very helpful. The food is the best in South Africa and the accommodations are unreal. I hope everyone gets a chance to experience this place, just not when I go back!

Fabulous vacation in the Bushveld
I visited Jock Lodge with my 17 year old son in August. We both had the time of our lives. The lodge is so well kept and our living quarters was well decorated, beautiful and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to look after us. The game driver was amazing and went out of his way to ensure that we saw the Big 5 and we did!!! We learned so much about nature. The food was great!!! All meals were scrumptious. There was a full bar. My son enjoyed sleeping outdoors in a posh tent and he often ran inside to tell me about the elephants he saw just outside of his tent. Words can’t describe the amazing time we had, so just go and see for yourself!!!
