Kirkman’s Kamp, situated on an elevated ridge in the game-rich Sabi Sand Nature Reserve provides an incredible safari experience for couples and families alike. The private game reserve is famously known for its prolific Leopard sightings and shared unfenced borders with Kruger National Park. &Beyond has exclusive traversing rights on the 10 500 hectares of wilderness land, making for an incredible opportunity to explore your surroundings without constraints.
Begin your safari trip with a scheduled flight from Johannesburg to Skukuza Airport. Once you have arrived at Skukuza Airport, you will be taken to Kirkman’s Kamp by road transfer. As you approach the camp, you will be captivated by its charm, with the original 1920s homestead creating a classical ambience while overlooking the unspoiled landscape surrounding the Sand River. The camp, rich in history, reflects the elegance of a bygone era with its colonial-style décor and sweeping verandas.
After settling into your luxurious accommodation, embark on the first of your many adventures in the African bushveld with your first safari. Guided by expert andBeyond-trained rangers and trackers, you will explore the vast wilderness of Sabi Sand, renowned for its exceptional game-viewing opportunities. Keep an eye out for the Big Five—lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo—as well as a myriad of other wildlife species.
After what is sure to be an exceptional game-viewing experience, return to the camp for a magnificent dinner enjoyed in the boma, on the lawns, or in a candlelit bush setting. The boma, a traditional African enclosure, offers a unique dining experience under the starlit sky, where you can savor gourmet cuisine and share stories of the day's adventures around the campfire.
The next two days will be filled with beautiful morning safaris guided by the expert trackers and rangers. In the open 4x4 safari vehicle, you will have the opportunity to witness incredible wildlife sightings, from graceful giraffes to stealthy predators. Each safari offers a new experience, with the possibility of spotting elusive wildlife. After the morning drive, you will be treated to a flavorful breakfast back at the camp. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure. Wind down for the afternoon at the sparkling swimming pool. Alternatively, indulge in an afternoon drink at Paul’s Pub .
Lunch is served on the shady verandas, where you can dine while taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding bushveld. For those looking for a more adventurous experience, explore Africa on foot with a guided walking safari. This intimate encounter with the wilderness allows you to appreciate the smaller details of the ecosystem, from bird watching to tracking animals and learning about the flora and fauna.
For unforgettable dinners, join the open-air boma after your evening game drive, where you can enjoy a communal dining experience under the stars. For a more intimate setting, request your dinner in the privacy of your own room, where you can savor a delicious meal in seclusion.
Activities available at an additional cost include specialist birding safaris, where you can observe and learn about the diverse avian species of the region. Specialist night drives offer a chance to see nocturnal animals and witness the bushveld's transformation after dark. Private game drives provide a personalized safari experience, tailored to your interests. For families, specialist family safaris ensure that both adults and children have an engaging and educational adventure in the wild.
Today you take your last morning safari, bidding farewell to the African bush before your road transfer and return flight to Johannesburg. Reflect on the unforgettable experiences and the incredible wildlife encounters as you make your way back.

Trip to Kruger at Mdluli Safari Lodge
I loved working with Anja from safari.com. She put together my itinerary within my price range and was very professional, thorough and empathetic. She followed up with me many times to see if I needed anything throughout my trip and even filled out some forms for me when I was having difficulty. When the lodge I stayed at was not being accommodating in the slightest, she quickly contacted the manager and got them to rearrange their services to meet my needs. I would most certainly use safari.com again due to my wonderful experience working with Anja.

Nicole at Safari.com is AMAZING!!!
I would love to share my experience with Nicole. She has worked tirelessly to help me make my dream vacation a reality. I had no idea how to start planning. Nicole suggested the most wonderful South African resorts and safaris. No matter how many changes I threw her way it was always received with a happy, positive attitude. I live in Hawaii and even though we were on a 12 hour time difference she was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Her expertise, knowledge and patience are unmeasurable. I was plagued with numerous payment issues from my bank in Hawaii. Nicole never wavered from being patience and more importantly positive that we could resolve each issue and get my trip booked. Nicole is a huge asset to Safari.com and I will scream it from the mountains to let everyone know what excellent customer service I have received. Nicole is a ROCKSTAR!!! We are so excited for our upcoming adventure of a lifetime!

Very good experience with getting quotes
I didn’t end up booking with safari.com but I did have a great experience with their consultant, Leigh-Ann Croeser. I originally wanted to book a safari at a specific lodge but it was not available for the dates we wanted. She offered suggestions and helped us secure holds on other dates. She worked hard and sent several follow up emails as she was able to hold some dates for available rooms at the original lodge! We did end up booking with another safari tour company as I sent out a few quotes at the same time and that worked out better for us but next time I would definitely consider booking with her again!
