JOCK SAFARI LODGE EXPLORER CAMP
PRIVATE CONCESSION, SOUTHERN KRUGER NATIONAL PARK
PRIVATE CONCESSION, SOUTHERN KRUGER NATIONAL PARK
The Explorer Camp at Jock Safari Lodge offers guests a unique experiential insight of a bygone era, a time when exploring really was an adventure into this unknown Big 5 wilderness, as did the legendary Percy Fitzpatrick in the 18th century. The camp and tents have been meticulously recreated with the similar style camp beds, canvas washing basins, lanterns etc in order to transport guests back in time.
This two day educational, walking safari is lead by two highly specialised guides and nights are spent around the camp fire enjoying hearty bush meals whilst learning more about the history of Jock of the Bushveld, Percy Fitzpatrick and how the Kruger was born. During the day, guests explore on foot, a remote part of this private concession in the heart of the Kruger National Park, to get a real sense of how trekking was done during the early days of exploration - a tribute to the original and authentic African safari adventure.
General Information
The Explorer Camp operates during the cooler months with the first trail in April and the last trail at the end of October.
