Jock Safari Lodge is set in an untamed wilderness which makes it the perfect location for a romantic African Wedding.

Accommodation
Our 12 Luxurious Suites are designed to give a sense of being alone in, and integrated with, the surrounding unspoiled African Bush. All suites are elegantly furnished with attention paid to the little comforts that make any Mantis property memorable. The suites are all named after places of interest in the tale of “Jock of the Bushveld”. Linked to the main lodge by meandering walkways, the suites boast private plunge pools, and furnishings reflecting the region’s distinctive mix of Zulu, Shangaan and colonial cultures.

Venues
Different venues available, depending on the size of the Wedding Party.
PLEASE NOTE that for weddings in the bush, no children under the age of 7 may attend as there is an age regulation for open vehicles in the Kruger Park.

Menu
Menus can be personalized for your requirements if the entire lodge is booked. (Please advise of any dietary requirements in advance). The chef and his dedicated team conjure up dishes inspired by this unique location, as well as all of the influences that have passed through it at one time or another. From the primal flavours of wild game and local herbs picked from the surrounding bushveld to the spicy tastes of visiting Arab traders, and traditional dishes introduced by European gold miners – guests can take their tastebuds on a true African safari.

Spa
Ease the strains of modern living from every muscle and mind at our fully equipped Spa. We honour our cultural heritage by using Essentially Africa body products, and support the conservation of animal, bird and plant life. This philosophy characterises our Signature Spa Treatments, which have been inspired by the richness of Africa’s soil, its abundant plant life, and the life-preserving grooming rituals of its wild animals.
