A short safari in Kruger: game drives for the Big Five from Jock Safari Lodge, with flights from Johannesburg.
Kruger is South Africa’s great national park, and one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five. A flight from Johannesburg means you are on a game drive within hours of landing.
Jock Safari Lodge, in a private concession in the south of the park, is named after a famous dog and has superb guides. Two nights is enough for a first safari or a short break from the city.

Best time for this trip May to Mar
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
