Kirkman's Kamp

Sabi Sand (via Shaw's Gate), Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Kirkman's Kamp

Kirkman's Kamp in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve was named in honour of W. Harry Kirkman, one of South Africa's foremost conservationists. Today, the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, home to Kirkman's Camp, is known to have the greatest diversification of animal species on the African continent.

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.

Experienced rangers and trackers will lead you on morning and afternoon/evening game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles. The Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park are of the finest Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) game destinations in Africa and you have an excellent chance of spotting the elusive leopard.

You will have the opprtunity to explore the Sabi Sand Game Reserve on interpretive wilderness walks led by experienced rangers or expert Shangaan trackers, and learn more about the area?s intriguing fauna and flora. Guided bush walks bring you face-to-face with wild Africa at its best.

Kirkman's Kamp, with its spectacular views of the unspoilt 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 1920s Kirkmans Kamp celebrates the atmosphere of an early South African lowveld homestead.

All 18 of the guest cottages at Kirkman's Kamp have private verandahs and en-suite bathrooms featuring ball and claw baths, adding all the comforts one needs for luxury Sabi Sand accommodation.
