Overview
Kings Camp sits beside a waterhole in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, within Greater Kruger. Its thatched suites have private plunge pools, while shared spaces include a glass-fronted bar, observation lounge and sunken fire pit. Twice-daily game drives and requested walking safaris explore the reserve, and the underground Kings Warren hide offers wildlife viewing at water level. The Sanctuary adds a gym and wellness facilities between outings. The main lodge welcomes children from six, with an interleading Family Suite for two adults and two children; the separate Waterbuck villa is an exclusive-use alternative.
“Romantic Big Five lodge evoking bygone-era charm with waterhole views; suits couples and those seeking nostalgic safari ambiance in Greater Kruger.”
