Jock Explorer Camp 2 Day Walking Safari Package

Package Overview

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.

The Explorer Camp operates during the cooler months with the first trail in April and the last trail at the end of October.

Each trail is 2 nights with a set departure each Friday of the week.

The walking trails are hosted and guided by 2 armed qualified walking guides. Due to the high density of Big 5 in the area the trails are conducted by a “Lead” Guide and a “Back-up” Guide.

Distances walked vary each day but can last up to 3 hours.

A game viewing vehicle remains in camp and depending on where guests walk that day, the trail may start from camp or depart camp by vehicle to visit another area of the concession.

We regret that no persons younger than 16 years will be able to participate.

Participants older than 60 years will be required to provide a medical clearance certificate in order to participate.
