Inside the park
Ownership unconfirmed
The exclusive-use villa of Jock Safari Lodge, on the 6,000-hectare concession in south-west Kruger that Jock calls the very first private concession granted within the park. It sleeps up to six adults and costs R92,400 a night for the villa from 1 May to 31 December 2026, which is about R15,400 per adult when full. Children aged 6 to 11 carry a supplement. Meals, game drives and selected drinks are included, VAT and tourism levy too; the Kruger entrance fee is not. Choose it for a family or group who want a private house with Jock's guiding; for two people the main lodge is far cheaper. The owner is not named.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Kruger National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryR602 per international adult per day at USD 1 = ZAR 16.65 (6 Oct 2026); R692, about $42, from 1 Nov 2026.
- $36per person, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults pay $216 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
SANParks charges no vehicle fee for private cars at Kruger.
Almost every private lodge inside Kruger excludes the SANParks conservation fee from its rate, so you pay it on top for each night.

Rates checked 6 October 2026 and converted at R16.65 to the US dollar (rate of that date); re-check before you book. SANParks does not print its unit rates online, so every SANParks figure here is a reseller rate from krugerpark.co.za (Siyabona Africa) for 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, quoted per unit and shown per person for two sharing. Private lodge figures come from each lodge's own rate page unless the entry says reseller.
