Walking tours, kids' club, and golf (via Leopard Creek association) are available.
At the Confluence of Rivers
Jock Safari Lodge borders Kruger National Park at the meeting of the Mitomeni and Biyamiti Rivers. It sits on a 6000-hectare bushveld site. Short walking distance leads to ancient Bushmen rock artworks, about 3000 years old. Skukuza airstrip is 35 km away; Kruger Airport in Nelspruit is 150 km.

“The private concession amplifies the safari experience, ensuring intimate wildlife encounters guided by exceptionally knowledgeable rangers. Accommodations are luxurious havens, with outdoor sleeping spaces and riverbed views adding a unique dimension to relaxation. Exceptional service from the entire team makes for a truly remarkable and restorative stay.”
