This camp was lovely in all respects. The public areas and rooms were very comfortable, and beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The staff was attentive and the food was great. Our guide and tracker were knowledgable and the gameviewing was great. We were sorry to leave!

We went to Kings Camp in January 2013 for our honeymoon. Loved it! Can't recommend enough. Dean our guide was brilliant and very knowledgeable. The food was amazing, our room was luxury, a holiday that will never be forgotten. Not sure why some people have given this average. Must have been a different camp!

The surroundings are incredible, the animals are everywhere (including in camp!) but most of all, the service is beyond compare. The chef, peter, could cook in the finest restaurants anywhere, and everyone on staff is so attentive. The owners have much to be proud of for how they run this great establishment. Go.

Step back in time to a beautiful lodge in the English style with modern amenities, excellent food, outstanding services. And then wake early morning covered in warm blanket to begin an incredible camp drive to see animals so close you can reach out and touch. In two days saw the big five , elephant, rhinoceros, water buffalo, leopard, lion. Our... More

Already during landing on the nearby small airstrip we saw warthogs and impalas running away. Dean – our very friendly and knowledgeable ranger for the five night stay – picked us up and we had our first short safari on the way to the lodge. Game viewing was excellent. The area is hilly and bushland. In this time of the... More

There's really no other way to describe Kings Camp .... it's heaven on earth. Full Stop. End of Story. All the staff there are warm and friendly, caring, helpful to the utmost degree, and all of this is not an effort for any of them - it comes naturally.
