Jock Safari Lodge

Kruger National Park


The first private lodge in the park, Jock rests at the confluence of the Biyamiti and Mitomeni Rivers within an exclusive 60-sq-km conservancy. The 12 rooms (some adjoining for families) all have plunge pools and river views. It's something of a Kruger classic, and the 12 rooms, classically styled, remain outstanding.
