There is nowhere on earth like Kirkman’s Kamp, the star of the &Beyond family of safari lodges in the thriving Sabi Sands region of the Kruger National Park bushveld. Where ethereal colonial history blends in with an exquisite sense of timeless drama, and where premium Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve safari accommodation sets the highest levels.
Overlooking the Sabi River, Kirkman’s Kamp offers exclusive five-star safari excellence in this world-renowned destination and is both historical and authentic. Yes, many years ago, the legendary Harry Kirkman lived in this old 1920s homestead and hunted wildlife with a keen conservation ethic. The spirit of those colonial safari days comes alive at the historic yet restored &Beyond Kirkman’s Kamp.

Gaze in awe at the sepia photographs adorning the walls and the memorabilia throughout the lodge, harking back to those days when Harry lived here.
Antiques suit the old home, renovated to a modern glory that still retains the classical ambience of that time in the wilderness. Imagine how Harry would have sat ton this this very veranda, marvelling at his view, his bushveld, his wildlife.
And now, 12 deluxe suites, also designed to retain the aura of long-gone colonial safari outings, are spread out along a raised bank above the Sand River where hippos wallow and elephants come down to drink. Old-style Victorian beds and baths, silent verandas where trees flutter in the breezes and maybe a silent buck will stroll past. Warthogs graze the lawns and exotic bushveld birds flitter here and there.
Kirkman’s Kamp loves to host families and children will be enthralled by the entertaining WILDchild experience – they can play tennis, bake cookies, play croquet and see animals in the wild with experienced game rangers and trackers. They will also learn about the communities and how these people are part of the wilderness here and the ecotourism ethics.
