“Best accommodation and Safari experience in Kruger National Park”

Sep 15, 2025Tina R

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Jock Safari Lodge in Kruger National Park for three nights, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The accommodation was simply beautiful—thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and perfectly in harmony with the stunning natural surroundings. Every detail made us feel both pampered and connected to the wilderness around us. The meals were fabulous, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The dining experiences felt both special and relaxed, and the staff made us feel so warmly welcomed throughout our stay. The highlight, of course, was the safari experience. Our ranger and guide, Ike, was truly exceptional—knowledgeable, passionate, and endlessly patient. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife and learned so much along the way. His ability to track and share insights made every drive a real adventure. One of the things we loved most about Jock Safari Lodge is its intimacy. With a maximum of just 24 guests, it never felt crowded or rushed. Instead, it offered a personal, exclusive atmosphere where every guest truly mattered. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. We would highly recommend Jock Safari Lodge to anyone visiting Kruger National Park—it exceeded every expectation. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special!

“Super luxury safari”

Jock’s lodge was out of this world. The accommodation is truly luxurious, we couldn’t believe our eyes! Every little thing we might have wanted was provided. Our ranger Laz was so dedicated and knowledgeable. The hotel staff were really friendly, especially Mama who gives the best hugs! The food and drink was incredible, and varied - we ate outside under the stars on a couple of nights, which was so special. We were so lucky to see leopards every day, as well as seeing and hearing lions feeding - such a special experience. We were introduced to Amarula hot chocolate, which elevated it even more! Our room had its own netted outdoor bed, and we were able to spend a night outside. We absolutely loved our stay. Thank you so much!
