All Kruger concessions

We feature fourteen lodges in seven concessions, plus the Makuleke and Ngala contractual parks. With many benefits of private lodges and carefully controlled off-roading, they offer a more luxurious experience in the park than SANParks restcamps.

Jock Safari lodge from the river

They typically have exclusive use over sizeable areas of between 10,000 and 15,000 hectares of land. One, the Timbitene concession where Rhino Walking Safaris operates, is zoned as a wilderness area where vehicles are not permitted; others have limitations on driving in sensitive places such as dry riverbeds.
