Jock Safari Lodge

Jock Safari Lodge Kruger Park

Jock Safari Lodge is a favourite lodge which incorporates the romance and elegance of the past colonial era, and reflects in its unique style the indigenous Zulu and Shangaan cultures. Jock Safari Lodge was the first private lodge to be granted a concession in the Kruger National Park . Twelve luxury air conditioned suites, each with their own private sala overlook the river as do the romantic bathrooms and outdoor showers. Sightings of animals including the Big Five can be seen while relaxing around the rock pool or from the comfort and privacy of your own room.

At Jock Safari Lodge they create African cuisine which incorporates an abundance of flavours accumulated on the routes followed by sir Percy Fitzpatrick. The head chef of Jock and her passionate team conjure up dishes of legendary proportions, allowing your taste buds to follow their own African journey. The cuisine is presented in a variety of locations. From Silver service in the elegant dining room, to an eating adventure under the panorama of the African night.
