Kings Camp

With its unique romantic ambience, Kings Camp invites guests to relax in the bushveld in fine colonial style. Situated in the world-famous Timbavati Private Nature Reserve (part of the greater Kruger National Park) the camp is a game-viewing haven that features elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo. However, Kings Camp promises far more than just a good game-spotting destination - with access to 100 square kilometres of traversing, guests are also treated to a brilliant abundance of birdlife. Private safaris under the guidance of a skilled ranger will prove to be an exhilarating experience for bird-watchers and tree enthusiasts as they explore the rarer sights and wonders of the bush.

Any particular requests such as guided walks or tribal dances under the great African skies will be arranged with pleasure. Kings Camp is exceptionally proud of its viewing deck which overlooks an open savanna with a watering hole. Guests can safely soak up the stillness and serenity of the bush while keeping a sharp lookout for passing animals and birds. At Kings Camp we are dedicated to a gracious style of hospitality, combined with a flexibility that puts the comfort of our guests first - this is achieved in a manner that will never compromise the environment.

Furnished in the style of a bygone era, this intimate twenty-bed lodge guarantees comfort and personal service for a memorable stay. Traditional thatched bungalows are spacious and luxuriously equipped with air-conditioning, mini-bar and en-suite bathroom and outdoor showers. Camp facilities include a lounge-bar and refreshing swimming pool with a viewing deck overlooking a waterhole and a well equipped gym. Managed by an experienced team of hosts, Kings Camp prides itself on flexibility.

When it comes to mealtimes, true South African cuisine is offered in a homely atmosphere with dinner in the boma or a bush braai under the canvas of the dazzling African sky, all complemented by an exceptional wine cellar. Situated only five hours' drive from Johannesburg, Kings Camp is easily accessible by road. The lodge can also be reached via scheduled flights to Hoedspruit/Eastgate Airport, or by charter to and from the camp's private tarred runway.
