A Five-star Safari fit for a King

@ Kings Camp Private Game Reserve

The Timbavati is home to several lodges and camps that offer guests a unique and relaxing escape. Kings Camp Private Game Reserve is one such camp that invites you to unwind while you "unlock the beauty of the Timbavati".  The camp faces an open savanna plain with a waterhole that attracts a multitude of wildlife throughout the day (and night). You can explore the wilderness of the Timbavati through a number of choice experiences at Kings Camp.

Morning and afternoon game drives

There are two daily game drives for groups of up to 6 guests. The drives are in customised luxury game viewing vehicles and are led by qualified guides and professionals. This ensures that the group's experience remains exclusive. There are refreshing treats served on both morning and afternoon drives.

Private safari

For a completely flexible and exclusive safari experience, a private safari drive is offered. It is popular amongst avid photographers due to the opportunity to stop and explore at your wish. The private safari is also loved by families with younger children.

Game walks

Walking safaris offer a completely immersive experience in the African wilderness. Because you explore the bush on foot, all senses are heightened. In addition, an expert guide will point out various animal tracks, dung, insects and birds - helping you to absorb the smaller details of safari.
