We visited for three days on New Years. two teenage girls with us. It was the Trip of a Lifetime. There were 3 major things that made the trip. 1) Hospitality. From Warren meeting us at the airport, to the entire staff, this is a first class operation. 2) Guides - we had Morne as our guide and Selby as... More

Kings Camp in Timbervarti Private Game Reserve, everything about it was excellent, the people, the service, the room, the driver, tracker and guide and the food. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The drives through the game parks were such an amazing experience. The guide, Cynert, was incredibly knowledgable and entertaining. We really got to experience the animals up... More

My wife and I visited KC in March 2011 and loved it so much we revisited 8 months later. On this occasion we stayed for 4 nights. On our first trip our ranger and guide were Patrick and Albert who were so good we requested (and got) them both again. We were picked up at the airfield by Patrick in... More

King's Camp is a small, welcoming "oasis" in the midst of the seclusion of the Timbavati Game Reserve adjacent to Kruger Park. We didn't know what to expect. Would we be roughing it at this remote location? Quite to the contrary, we had all the amenities necessary to feel pampered if not down right spoiled. Gourmet food and open bar......check!... More

On arrival at Kings Camp we were told we'd been upgraded to the separate Waterbuck Private Villa which is just wonderful. We had our own butler called Mandla, chef called Jobida and dedicated Safari driver called Colbert and tracker Sunny Boy plus a... More

We had a fantastic 3-night stay at Kings. The lodge is extremely luxurious, and our room was of a very high standard. We enjoyed being able to relax on the sofas in the living area, and the twin outdoor-showers are a nice touch. The staff made us feel very welcome and were always helpful. The game viewing was exceptional, particularly... More

Old world charm and class starting from an amazing guide in Morne and carried through the rest of the staff. This was a complete experience and every detail was considered along the way. Overwhelmed all of my senses. More

People often say that they can't wait to go back, but don't always do it. I couldn't wait to get back to Kings Camp, and made sure I did. This place will take your breath away, no kidding. The rooms are to-die-for, the food first class, and the game is everywhere. I've visited many lodges in the Kruger and in... More

We had 2 nights here and wish it had been more, the welcome is terrific, the accommodation (we stayed in the honeymoon suite) is lovely with it's own plunge pool an the edge of the camp... More
