Kirkman’s Kamp

Kirkman's dates to the early 1900s, when it was the original homestead of Harry Kirkman; it has been stylishly renovated to possess an old-world feel. Its elevated position provides stunning views of the surrounding bushveld and overlooks the Sand River. The lodge is easily reachable from Skukuza Airport and Shaws Gate, the most southerly entry gate to the Sabi Sand.

At Kirkman's Kamp, 12 spacious suites provide luxury lodgings in South Africa's most revered private game reserve. The suites are decorated with a touch of old-world charm, and the en-suite bathrooms feature free-standing ball-and-claw bathtubs. Still, there are plenty of modern luxuries. All the rooms have air-conditioning, ceiling fans, telephones, heating, an in-room safe, minibars, and tea and coffee stations. The suites have spacious open-plan lounge areas with French doors that open onto well-kept lawns. Wildlife sightings are occasionally enjoyed from the private verandas.

Breakfast and lunch can be enjoyed in the comfort of the main house or under shade-dappled verandas. Dinner is served outside in the bush boma, illuminated by lanterns and dancing flames. The lodge also offers an infinity pool to cool down in and a small curio shop to purchase souvenirs. For relaxation, guests may opt for an in-room massage.
