ABOUT JOCK SAFARI LODGE EXPLORER CAMPSITE
A
The camp site is unfenced to provide the true explorer ambience and tents are placed in fairly close proximity without encroaching on other tents privacy. Wild animals are able to move through the camp at any time and although all safety precautions have been followed in setting up the camp; this remains a reality.
Jock Explorer Camp is sold as a two night walking trail package; therefore two (2) nights are automatically booked and payable at the time of reserving this unique experience. There are three spacious campaign canvas tents sleeping a maximum of 2 people each. Each Tent has a bucket outside shower and an en-suite bio box toilet (portable) with canvas for privacy. Rustic safari meals are prepared and enjoyed under the African skies by your personal Shangaan Chef.
Rates are inclusive of all meals, beverages, walking activities, welcome lounge transfers at set
times, tourism levy and 14% Vat.
