The lodge is approximately 45 minutes to an hour from the Malelane gate and therefore it is recommended that flights to / from Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (KMIA/MQP) are booked to arrive before 2:30 pm on day of arrival and depart after 10 am on day of departure. The camp is half way between Skukuza and Malelane gates, approximately 22 miles in both directions with only 2 miles of dirt road. Due to the rules and regulations of the Kruger National Park, nobody is allowed on any Kruger National Park roads during the period of gates being closed. Therefore guests must be at their destination by the time the gates close. Jock is located in a malaria area, but incidents are very low. However, guests should still take precautions.Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. Managed by a private host A deposit may be required at the property.

Très bon séjour et safaris
Superbe environnement, lodge très confortable avec beaucoup de place et petite piscine privée , le tout en pleine nature et ensemble de la structure très bien décoré . Bon service et très bon guide de safaris
Accueil un peu administratif et directif et oubli au départ de tamponner le ticket d’accès au parc Kruger, afin de pouvoir sortir du Parc. Prix élevé par rapport à la prestation et ensemble vieillissant méritant un meilleur entretien.

The food was geberally delcious but there werent so many great vegetarian/vegan options. The guides and rangers were fantastic and the staff in the lodge were always friendly and enthusiastic. The rooms and outside spaces are also fabulous!
Manily just the lack of vegetarian/vegan options at mealtimes

Exceeded all expectations - AMAZING
We stayed in the villa and it exceeded ALL expectations. It is beautifully laid out, a huge space, private and beautifully decorated. Clean and lovingly maintained. Absolute paradise overlooking the river bed. The staff were exceptional especially Jacob our guide who got the pace, interest etc just right and knows the area so very well and Lindiwe with such a warm heart. Amazing game drives, Amarula hot chocolate and the food was out of this world! Stay was beyond EXCEPTIONAL. Wanted more time there and will definitely go back. Don’t agree with some comments on closed top concession meaning more limited game viewing - we did both on this holiday and saw just as much and some very special leopard sightings.
