Jock Safari Lodge gets its name from the legendary Jock of the Bushveld by author Sir Percy Fitzpatrick. Legend has it that Fitzpatrick and Jock travelled on the wagon road that runs through Jock Safari Lodge.

The Jock concession area was the first private concession in the Kruger National Park, and today the rangers frequently use this road for game drives and take the opportunity to educate guests on the history of the area. Part of the Shamwari Group, Jock Safari Lodge in the southern area of the Kruger National Park is steeped in history and offers two unique, luxury lodges, both ideal for a romantic bush getaway where the elegance of an authentic safari experience of days gone by can be enjoyed.

The spa at Jock Safari Lodge offers specialised treatments for men and women and is aptly named ‘Pilgrims Rest’, after the quaint historical mining town which was known as a place to rest and rejuvenate.

Besides the unique spa treatments on offer, there are also exciting game drives and walking safaris with exclusive traversing rights, all guided by specialist rangers in what is regarded as the best Big Five game viewing area in the Kruger
