Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

Kirkman's Kamp

Although we haven't had the chance to visit, Kirkman's Kamp consistently gets great reviews. It's located in the Famous Sabi Sand Game Reserve, so guests are sure to get a glimpse of the Big 5. The camp was just completely refurbished but prices went up this year as a result.  — Mango's view

Undoubtedly the most prestigious game park in South Africa, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is renowned for having the best Big Five game viewing in the country, if not the world. Located on the southwestern corner of the Kruger National Park, there are no restricting fences, thus enabling the animals to roam freely just as nature intended. The 65,000 hectare reserve offers a spectacular African safari experience.

Kirkman's Kamp, with its spectacular views of the unspoiled wilderness and the Sabi Sand River, is regarded as one of the best loved lodges in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. A well known historic camp, originally built in the early 1920's, Kirkman's Kamp celebrates the atmosphere of an early South African lowveld homestead.

The colonial atmosphere of gracious style and luxury has been retained, and guests step back in time upon entering the original homestead, which now houses the Lodge's sitting, bar and dining areas. Each of the 18 guest cottages has a private veranda and is furnished in the same charming style.

The large sitting room, with a 1920's ambience, leads through double French doors onto rolling lawns that provide a velvety contrast to the wild and tumbling bush surrounding the Lodge. Breakfast and lunch are served on shady verandahs, and dinners are shared in the dramatic boma or in romantic lantern lit bush settings.

Renowned for its exceptional African wildlife and leopard sightings, Kirkman's Kamp offers exhilarating twice daily game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles and guided bush walks in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
