Bush delight

accreditation
Jock Safari Lodge is part of the Mantis Collection of luxury lodges.

It's situated in the southern Kruger National Park, at the confluence of the Mitobeni and Biyamiti Rivers and is accessible through the Malelane Gate.

Wagons from a bygone age are strategically parked in and around its premises, including one which serves as a mounting platform for guests going on game drives.

Fascinating buffalo horn motifs are featured on the walls and furnishings, and the lodge is a surrounded by magnificent trees and an abundance of bird and wildlife.

Therapies are also available in the relaxed atmosphere of one's own suite or at the lodge's health spa, the Pilgrim's Rest.

After several hours in the bush, lanterns welcome you back and guide you along the pathways to the bush boma for an African feast under the southern stars.

The cuisine is presented in several locations ­ from fine dining or outdoor to a gourmet adventure in the lapa, while guests can also request take-away lunches in their rooms or a romantic dinner on their private decks.

A comfortable upstairs bar overlooks the pool and Biyamiti River.

The head chef, Godwin Africa and his team create dishes that are unpretentious, wholesome and hearty. Godwin started his career in Seaview Hotel and then joined Shamwari Game Reserve, where he worked for almost four years. He previously worked at the Seaview Hotel and the Shamwari Game Reserve and has played an intrinsic part in transforming Jock Lodge's cuisine.
