4.2 Sustainability Rating
A private conservation safari lodge in Kruger National Park’s adventure-filled bushveld
Steeped in history and conservation, Jock Safari Lodge is not only the first private concession granted within Kruger National Park but also the top environmental concession in this beloved park. Jock Safari Lodge is inspired by the classic tale ‘Jock of the Bushveld’ by Sir Percy FitzPatrick, a story of a man, his faithful companion — a Staffordshire bull terrier — and their African bushveld adventures. A prime location for Big 5 safari adventures, the lodge is set within a wildlife terrain of 6.000 ha where the Mitomeni and Biyamiti rivers meet in Kruger’s southern region. During their stay, guests can learn more about the lodge’s conservation purpose and sustainable design, examine the local fauna and flora, and go on game drives.
