    The food was incredible. The BBQ was to die for, the salads were abundant, and the potatoes were a heavenly combination of roast potato and chip. The kitchen really knows its way around a tuber.

    Fake rocks around the pools? What a classy touch.

    We were absolutely blown away by our stay at this incredible safari lodge. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable experience. The attention to detail was impeccable, and we were constantly amazed at how they anticipated our needs - from always having a glass of wine ready for us to spoiling us with delicious meals and snacks throughout the day. The rooms may be slightly on the smaller side, but the outdoor space more than makes up for it. We highly recommend spending a night outside on the daybed for a truly unique experience. And let's not forget about our amazing ranger Micha! He was an absolute gem and made sure we were in the right place at the right time to witness some of the most breathtaking wildlife sightings. His sense of humor kept us entertained, and the little extras like enjoying a rangers special in stunning landscapes will forever be cherished memories. The lodge itself is beautiful, with comfortable rooms and excellent cleanliness. The game rides were fantastic, with knowledgeable guides who ensured we saw the Big Five and more. The food was also top-notch, with a variety of flavors to savor. we couldn't have asked for a better stay and we can't wait to return someday.

    We had an amazing time at this hotel. Our ranger Jan was excellent with a vast knowledge of the wildlife. Despite the bad weather, he managed to show us three lions and three leopards, ensuring we were in the best position to take incredible photos. The staff in the dining room were really nice and the selection of food was amazing. The hotel staff went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable, even surprising us with a special cake and singing happy birthday. The room was private with a great view from the bed, overlooking the river bed where we could often see animals passing by.

    Can't fault the property in any way.

    We had an amazing time at Jock Safari Lodge. the game drives were the highlight of our stay, with our knowledgeable tour guide Ike ensuring we got to see the big 5! the lodge itself was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. We also loved the gin and tonic sundowners on the evening game drives. the private concession allowed us to get closer to the animals and wildlife, and we even had elephants visit the watering holes outside the lodge. Cons: It was all superb! 👌🏼.

    Exceedingly wonderful!

    We were fortunate enough to have Jacob as our ranger during our stay at Jock Safari Lodge. His knowledge and expertise made our game drives truly incredible. We saw a wide range of animals and Jacob's enthusiasm made it all the more enjoyable. The food and beverages at the lodge were excellent, with a special mention to Phil for his outstanding creations. The villa we stayed in was lovely and comfortable, complete with luxurious linens and towels. The spa was a highlight with their relaxing massages. The entire staff at Jock Safari Lodge was friendly, engaging, and always ready to assist. The front house team was professional and welcoming, truly making us feel at home. We couldn't find any cons during our stay. I can highly recommend this lodge for an exceptional safari experience.

    The lodge was beautifully decorated and had a modern yet rustic charm. The staff, especially Micah, were incredible and made our honeymoon extra special. The outdoor bed was a unique touch and we loved the hot water bottles in the evening. The food and drink offering was generous and the safari experience was fantastic.

    Felt right at home, couldn't ask for more.

    We got incredible value for our money at Jock Safari Lodge! The room was amazing - modern and rustic, with a private viewing deck overlooking the river bed where we could see animals passing by. The location was breathtaking, surrounded by nature and the sounds of wildlife. The staff treated us like royalty, from our fantastic game driver Micah to the friendly and personable staff who went above and beyond in delivering great service.

    Had an amazing time during our New Year's stay. the private villas with pool and viewing deck were fantastic. the food exceeded expectations for such a remote area. the game drives were the highlight of our trip, with our safari guide Lazarus being the best! His passion, humor, and tracking skills made the experience unforgettable.

    Communication between rangers could have been better. Missed out on seeing a leopard kill due to lack of information sharing.

    The rooms at this lodge are absolutely mind-blowing! From the large size to the amazing facilities like the outdoor bath and shower, private plunge pool, and veranda with river bed views, everything is top-notch. We had jaw-dropping experiences watching a family of elephants, a hyena, zebra, and even a leopard walk past right from our veranda. The food served here is super delicious with generous portions, and the variety of wines is excellent. The friendly and accommodating staff provide excellent service, and we even had a fantastic massage. Our guide Micah was outstanding, with his experienced knowledge of the Kruger ensuring we got our own private sightings of the Big 5 and more. This place is beyond incredible, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience.
