Kirkman’s Kamp offers a nostalgic take on the safari experience, rooted in the spirit of the pioneering days. Set on the site of a 1920s homestead, the camp retains a distinctly old-world character, from its classical sitting room and library to its wide verandas overlooking the Sand River.

The library offers a quiet retreat filled with interesting reads, while the classical sitting room provides an elegant setting for a pre-dinner drink. Tea is served on the rolling lawn, while breakfast and lunch are enjoyed on the shady verandas. Dinner is a magnificent affair, with Pan-African-inspired menus served in the boma, on the lawns or in a candlelit bush setting.

Between game drives, guests can slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of the bush. Immersed in the surrounding bushscape, the rim-flow swimming pool overlooks the Sand River, while a game of tennis, boule or croquet offers a leisurely way to spend the afternoon. The Treatment Room provides a tranquil space for a relaxing massage.

Days unfold at an unhurried pace, with exceptional wildlife sightings adding to the experience. With its heritage, timeless character and panoramic setting above the Sand River, Kirkman’s Kamp captures the romance of an iconic safari.
