Fitzpatrick's Lodge at Jock
Kruger National Park
Jock Safari Lodge is nestled where the Mitomeni and Biyamiti rivers flow as one, situated in the south-western corner of the Kruger National Park. The lodge offers 14,850 acres of exclusive traversing rights in an area of the park which is celebrated for its Big Five game viewing. The legendary wildlife experiences are enhanced by sixteen miles of exclusive dry riverbed that only guests can enjoy. The Big Five sightings of lion, leopard, black and white rhino, herds of buffalo and elephant are frequent and the birding experience exceptional.

For small groups of family or friends, the exclusive use villa, Fitzpatrick’s, offers the ultimate private villa experience. The villa features its own dedicated staff complement, private ranger, and exclusive game-viewing vehicle. Fitzpatrick’s comprises three bedrooms.…..
