Kirkman’s Kamp offers a safari experience steeped in history and luxury, set within the world-famous Sabi Sand Nature Reserve. Sharing an unfenced boundary with South Africa’s iconic Kruger National Park, the reserve boasts incredible biodiversity and is especially renowned for its exceptional leopard sightings - considered among the best in the world.

Guests at Kirkman’s Kamp enjoy exclusive access to 10,500 hectares (26,000 acres) of pristine wilderness, home to the Big Five as well as rare and iconic species. Safaris are led by expert ranger and tracker teams trained by &Beyond, who prioritize sensitive off-road driving and vehicle limits at sightings to provide an intimate, up-close wildlife experience without disturbing the natural environment.

The lodge itself is a charming blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort, designed to evoke the classical ambiance of an original 1920s homestead. Its 12 beautifully appointed guest cottages—including a spacious family cottage composed of two interconnected suites—offer spectacular, uninterrupted views of the Sand River. Antique-style furnishings blend seamlessly with contemporary amenities, while private verandas invite guests to relax amid the tranquil bushscape.

Facilities at Kirkman’s Kamp include a serene library filled with captivating reads, a cozy sitting room perfect for pre-dinner drinks, and a rim-flow swimming pool overlooking the river. Guests can enjoy tea on the rolling lawns, breakfast and lunch on the shaded verandas, and memorable dinners featuring mouth-watering Pan-African cuisine served in various atmospheric settings such as the boma, lawns, or a candlelit bush dining area.

The range of activities caters to all interests, with twice-daily game drives, interpretive bush and nature walks, private safaris, birding, photographic tours, and even croquet or tennis accompanied by Pimms and strawberries. Families are especially welcomed with the WILDchild programme, designed to engage young explorers through fun, educational, and interactive activities.

At &Beyond Kirkman’s Kamp, guests experience the perfect balance of timeless charm, luxurious comfort, and unparalleled wildlife encounters in one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations.
