This was our 6th safari holiday and our first in South Africa. We have travelled quite extensively in Kenya and to a lesser degree in Tanzania and a few days in Botswana. We have stayed at quite a few lodges and camps but without a shadow of doubt Jocks is certainly the best of the bunch. We were always reluctant to go to South Africa primarily because we felt that the game drives might be spoilt by too many vehicles jostling for position to view the animals. Following lots of research we opted for the Main Jock Lodge…..RIGHT CHOICE!! The food and service was superb and the accommodation, spacious, very comfortable and very private. I recommend spending a night (or at least a fair few hours) out in the private safe/covered viewing ‘hut’ that I understand each accommodation within the lodge has….Sheer bliss to doze off to the sounds of Africa. The game drives were excellent and our guide/driver Jacob was extremely knowledgeable, comical and clearly loved sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge. To state that he had remarkable eyesight is to put it mildly….how it was possible for him to spot a hand size chameleon in a leafy bush from many yards away whilst driving at night defies belief….all 5 of us in the jeep were in awe!! There were numerous other times when his telescopic eyesight made other drives extremely memorable. The fact that Jocks have a large private concession and exclusive rights in such a fine a location made a massive difference, it being rare that we ever saw any other vehicle during our drives and we were able to get extremely close to many animals. I could go on and on re’ how exceptional Jocks is but it can be summed up by the recommendation that you experience it for yourselves….We have booked to visit again and that is the first time that we have elected to revisit any camp or lodge…….. we are counting the days. THANK YOU to all at Jocks.
