Booked into Fitzpatricks for 3 nights in Feb 2013. We were the only guests at the time and had a lovely cottage with a private patio and view across the river. Naome (hostess) and Pete (the ranger) were exceptional and gave us a very warm welcome. The food was plentiful with ample choice and delicious. The safari drives in the... More

We recently stayed four nights at the Jock and had a wonderful family safari holiday in comfort and style. The facilities, while retaining a rustic charm that is in keeping with their environment, still offer a touch of luxury after a hard day on the trail of the local wildlife. The outdoor shower with views of the river was a... More

A birthday trip for me with my 2 teenage boys ended perfectly here at Jock. The whole experience will stay with us forever thanks to the beautifully tasteful, clean acommodation, the copious amounts of delicious food (forget any weight loss regime!), the knowledge snd passion of our ranger, Barend. He didn't want to bring us back in from each game... More

All the South African tour books for Kruger National Park said to do some days in a SANS Park spot and a couple days at a private reserve. We spent considerable time researching places and decided Jock was the best for the value.

His knowledge of Kruger was impressive --... More

Decor can be updated, as... More

WOW. Three letters to sum the 4 day experience myself and my wife had at Jock. All the staff are like one big happy family and that rubs off on all the guests who come to stay at the lodge. The main reason why everyone is here is to see the wildlife, but you are exposed to an impeccably run... More

The wildlife on show from the... More
