Kings Camp is a long-established luxury lodge in Timbavati, valued for its polished service, waterhole-facing main areas, spacious suites and easy access to private-reserve Big Five game drives.
Kings Camp sits in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, part of the unfenced Greater Kruger system. Its waterhole-facing guest areas help keep wildlife present between drives, while the wider traversing area supports Big Five game viewing and strong birdlife.
From the UK, access is usually via Johannesburg or Cape Town, followed by a scheduled flight, road transfer or charter depending on the reserve.
South Africa is generally one of the easiest safari countries logistically, especially for families and first-time travellers.
