Jock Safari Lodge

Spa Facilities

Pilgrim’s Rest is the health and beauty spa located in the Jock Safari Lodge and is called after the quaint old mining town that featured so prominently in the “Jock of the Bushveld” book. The Spa is a place to rest, rejuvenate and enjoy the surrounds.  The vast selection of calming body and beauty treatments cater for men and women.

Game Drives and Walking Safaris

Exciting morning and late afternoon/evening game drives are from the Jock Safari Lodge in covered 4x4 Landrovers.  Experienced game rangers conduct the drives through the reserve.

At dusk, the safari vehicle stops at a viewpoint overlooking one of the many breathtaking vistas of the Kruger National Park while refreshing sundowners are enjoyed.  On the way back to the Jock Safari Lodge, nocturnal animals are often seen. Thrilling walking safaris can also be enjoyed by guests staying at the Jock Safari Lodge.

Rock Art

The Rock art sites at the Lodge date back to more than 3 000 years and portray the experiences of the San people who were depicted in the form of the rock art seen today.

Frogging safaris

The Jock Safari Lodge in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, offers a unique Frogging Safari. With an estimated 34 different species of amphibians in the Kruger National Park, froggers are issued headlights, nets and gum boots and set out after dark in search of some frogs.

On the safari frogs are caught, identified and released back into the wild. Recent “catches” include Banded Rubber Frogs, Bubbling Kassinas, Sand Frogs and Painted Reed Frogs. The rainy months of November through March are the top months for frogging.
