5 Star Accommodation Venue - Jock Safari
Lodge ( 5 Star Game Lodges & Resorts Accommodation
in Malelane / Mpumalanga Kruger National Park / South Africa )
Before the turn of the century, the lure of gold
brought men from all corners of the world to Southern Africa. Sir
Percy Fitzpatrick, author of the animal classic, Jock of the bushveld
was one of these. They passed through some of Africa’s most
scenic untamed wilderness. It is in this area that Jock Safari Lodge
is based with our southern boundary being the old wagon route from
Delgoa Bay into the gold fields of the interior. Today the wilderness
experience we offer is unchanged from these early times. It is in
an area noted for its diversity in game, particularly the BIG FIVE.
This luxurious lodge is situated in the southern area of the KNP
at the confluence of the Mitomeni and Biyamiti rivers, half way
between Skukuza and Malelane airports. It is approximately 35 km
to both airports with only 3km of dirt road. Magnificent trees and
an abundance of bird life surround the Lodge. From here our two
track roads take you into 6000 ha of exclusive traversing in the
first private concession set in over 2 million hectares of KNP.
. The lodge is easily accessible by road, just over 5 hours drive
from Johannesburg, or 1 hour either Skukuza or Malelane airports.
Your expectations of comfort and quality will be exceeded at Jock
Safari Lodge & Little Jock. At the main camp, 12 Luxury air
conditioned suites offer guests the unique opportunity to experience
the gracious style of old world elegance surrounded by unspoilt
wilderness. Each suite has a private “Sala” (outdoor
lounge) that overlooks the river. The romantic bathrooms and outdoor
showers share the same river view and sightings of animals, including
the BIG FIVE can be seen from the comfort & privacy of your
own room. Each suite has a King size bed surrounded by walk-in mosquito
netting, a small lounge and twin basin bathroom. Your private terrace
has its own plunge pool and a wooden walkway to a lapa overlooking
the riverbed. Little Jock is a stand alone lodge situated just a
kilometre from the main Jock Safari Lodge. With only 3 suites, Little
Jock ensures that personal service is always a priority for the
lodge’s friendly staff. Each of the 3 luxurious suites is
equipped with their own public areas and amenities, including both
indoor and outdoor showers. While the dining and entertainment area
offer both alfresco and indoor dining facilities allowing guests
the unique opportunity to experience the gracious style of old world
elegance surrounded by unspoilt wilderness.
Friendly and professional staff will cater for all guests requirements
from specialised game drives or game walks - with every sound, scent,
footprint or broken blade of grass – as sign waiting to be
interpreted and understood.
