Jock Safari Lodge

You can’t get closer to Africa’s fabled wildlife than at South Africa’s Kruger National Park, and you can’t get closer to the park than at Jock Safari Lounge. This luxury lodge is located in the southern end of the 15,000-acre park, and prides itself as being the park’s first private concession. No surprise, then, that the hotel offers a variety of game drives, wilderness walks, birdwatching tours and even safaris designed specifically for children. The main lodge’s twelve suites feature thatched roofs and privacy provided by lush trees and reed walls, each one with a beautiful view of the scenic riverbed, as well as a path to a private deck with plunge pool. Families and larger parties, meanwhile, make use of the three larger suites at Fitzpatrick’s at Jock.
