3 nights at Jock Safari Lodge as part of an extended honeymoon in July 2009. Had just spent 2 nights safari in Okavango Delta Botswana the week before. Very different experience, but just as wonderful. First time in Kruger, so do not have other accommodations to compare it to, but truly did not disappoint. Picked up from Nelspruit Airport, about... more

Stayed in Jocks with my new husband for 3 nights in October 2009. Fantastic & a real highlight of our trip. We flew in from Jo'burg to Nelspruit - only a 45 minute flight & were picked up & transported to Jock's by Johan, an experienced local. Saw lion, hippo, giraffe and impala (got quite blase about impala tho!) on... more

Thank you for taking the time to tell other people about your wonderfull experience at Jock Safari Lodge. I do appreciate hearing from our guests, as their comments are vital for us to continue improving our standards at the Lodge. I'll make sure we add a bit more light, but not too much that will spoil that romantic dinner. We've...

Almost everything at Jock Safari Lodge was superb. We had wonderful accommodation that was luxurious, comfortable, and clean. The service we received was extremely attentive to our every want, and need. We saw plenty of animals... including the big 5, as well as wild dog. My only small negative is that the guide drove all the way down to Malelane... more

Thank you for your complimentary feedback. I'll make sure we work on ways and routes to avoid seeing some of the agricultural areas on the boundaries of the Kruger National Park. I do agree that it takes a bit of the wilderness feel away when seeing a sugar cane factory while viewing elephants,lion, leopard etc. The guides do however only...

We flew in with Federal Air. Picked up by Steven and brought to the lodge. Had seen 4 of the big 5 before we got there. Instantly felt part of the Jocks family with the greeting we received at reception. JV was the ranger to whom we were assigned. A fountain of knowledge , witty and full of enthusiasm. His... more

What can I say. I have always wanted to go to Africa and see the wildlife. There is NO Better Place than inside Kruger park. And No better place inside Kruger than at Jock. From the GM Louie to our Ranger Laz to, my personal favorite, Momsie the people make the experience truely unforgetable. OK, getting a wake up call... more

The lodge was far above our expectations. The management and all the staff ensured that we enjoyed our stay. The rangers and game drives were fantastic. Raymond, our ranger, had a great deal of experiance and over our three day stay managed to seek out the big 5. The food was great, you could not possibly go hungry. We would... more

After reading the online reviews and visiting the lodge website we were both very excited and looking forward to our first Safari and South Africa Experience. The lodge did not dissapoint. We stayed in "Main Jocks". Room exactly as described and kept very clean. Minibar, lunch dinner and breakfast included in rate! Game drives were superb and our ranger was... more

Little Jock is located only 1km from main Jock safari lodge and houses 3 rooms. We were on our honeymoon and my husband really wanted to book the main Jock (preferred the look of the rooms, and it seemed superior from the brochure) only they were fully booked. Little Jock is designed for people who want a bit more quiet... more

Stayed at the Jock Safari Lodge for the first three nights of our honeymoon in September '08, and it was just fantastic. Location was stunning, staff were all very friendly and helpful, food was delicious and level of service was excellent. I can't really fault anything during our stay. (Note: one of the other review mentions Little Jock - we... more

For some time we visited the website, browsed photos and longed to experience Jock Safari Lodge. Last week after having a tremendous time at Pafuri Lodge we decided to stop at Jock for our final night's stay. What a mistake! Some other guests complained bitterly about Little Jock and were moved to the main lodge so we ended up at... more
