Itinerary
Arrive at the airport in Johannesburg in time to connect with the domestic flight to Nelspruit (MQP), located not too far from Kruger National Park. You are then transferred by road inside the park and within a private concession. Check in at Jock Safari Lodge Main Camp and relax before the afternoon game drive. As the very first private concession granted within Kruger National Park, Jock Safari Lodge is an original safari legend. Located in Kruger’s southern region, where the Mitomeni and Biyamiti Rivers meet to become one, it will feel like you’re stepping back to South Africa’s gold rush era. Return to the lodge in time for a hearty dinner and a good night's sleep.

Game viewing
Today you can experience a morning and an evening game drive. You can also take part in a walking safari, organized after a hearty breakfast, to experience the excitement of approaching species on foot. Traversing through the concession, the wildlife is sometimes staggering in its diversity. Enthralling sightings of elephants, prides of lions, as well as a sea of buffalo horns rising from the grass as they lie resting in the growing heat, await you. At dusk, a vantage point is chosen to overlook one of the many breathtaking views of the Kruger National Park. Sundowners are enjoyed while tales of the bush are told. A glimpse of what this unique wilderness has to offer is seen while being entranced by the ever-changing colors of the sky as the sun slips into the timeslot of tomorrow. Your meals are enjoyed at the camp and you have a few hours to relax by the pool or read a book on your deck.
