| We have arrived back in the UK and been forced to settle back down to work after leaving Jocks for Mauritius on the last leg of our trip. Mauritius did not come close. This is a letter of thanks to the team at Jocks. Youdelivered a standard of care and service thatwe have notexperienced before - even at so called 5 Star hotels -which has got to be an achievement given the location. We enjoyed every aspect of thevisit - meals, drinks, entertainment and conversation. We were fortunate enough to be guided by yourRanger Edgar who is a very great asset. Do not let him go. He was funny, mischievous, informative, dedicated and a spotter par excellence. We felt that each trip was special - which is hard to do in a cold bumpy jeep over 25+ hours! He made sure that we saw everything big and small even though it meant driving the final mile (or actually 15 miles) when I am sure he could have cheerfully headed home for breakfast.
The rooms were comfortable and cleverly set to look Edwardian and I was amazed to discover that the camp was opened only a few years ago. Great attention to detail! The free mini bar is a special touch. The previous Cape Town hotel (5 Star) had to send room service to unlockthe mini barif you wanted a cool drink. Jock's hospitality meant that I enjoyed a little nip of Brandy on the morning runs when the air was very cold. That was a real treat and a clever inexpensive luxury. And very sincerethanks for making Gill's Heaton's last drive so special with the cake and sparkling wine to celebrate her 50th on a sunset rock in the river bed watched by baboons and elephants.
I will be recommending Jocks everywhere we travel and we will never forget our visit to you. Thanks again for all your efforts. |

| Iam back at work in the world of reality. We had an absolutely awesome time at Jock. The accommodation, food, staff, rangers just everything was excellent. The food was of highest quality & the staff extremely friendly and helpful. What we really enjoyed was that we were all split on to our groups of 6 peoplewith a ranger who all had breakfast & dinner together and chat about the day, etc. Our ranger, Ray even managed to track a leopard with its kill which is according to most people a very rare site to spot. We can highly recommend Jock to any friends, family & other people looking at a Kruger getaway and are planning to return in 2009 for a longer stay. |

| Just wanted to write (which I wouldn’t normally do) but I was so impressed with Jock Safari lodge that I couldn’t not! We just wanted to thank you all for exceeding our expectations and excellence service levels throughout our stay. I don’t think we could honestly fault a single aspect from collection to sadly being dropped off. I can honestly say I have never stayed at a place that not only thinks of everything to the finest details but does it so well. The team were superbly helpful and knowledgeable and dedicated to the guests. The food was excellence including even thinking of biscuit snacks and tea on the morning and evening game drives. The accommodation was just perfect and the lodge although luxurious had the ideal relaxed feel. Knowing that nothing was too much trouble, we are still convinced you even rounded up the rhino every morning especially. Thank you again for an excellence few days on safaris I can’t believe how amazing the animals are and being able to spot them in the natural habitat was just perfect.. |

| Just a little note to say a big thank u to Dstv and Jock safari lodge for having my wife and my self on a safari that I would never have went in my life time. Every-thing I dreamt a safari would be and even more, this weekend was. The different people from all around the world we met, was absolute fun and we will always keep in touch, thanks 4 email. The resort was stunning and the service was nothing I can compare to other 5 star resorts. Our ranger Raymond was 1 in a million, he was fantastic company, always jovial and he had a eye and an explanation for everything in the bush. Jock safari, u guy's have a jewel in Raymond, DONT EVER LET HIM GO. The best thing about the weekend was when Raymond spotted a leopard in the dark, he called the leopardan he came about a meter away from the 4x4, that was very special to all of us. Once again THANK U team JOCK, for and amazing time away in the bush. |
