Located within the Timbavati Game Reserve, &Beyond Ngala Private Game Reserve seamlessly merges with the Kruger National Park, offering an unrivaled Big Five safari experience in one of the world’s most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries. With no fences between Ngala and Kruger, wildlife roams freely across 14,700 hectares (36,324 acres) of pristine wilderness, providing guests with exclusive, up-close encounters with Africa’s most iconic species.
Ngala, meaning “lion” in the local Shangaan language, lives up to its name, boasting several large prides of these majestic predators. Guests frequently witness elephant breeding herds, leopards, spotted hyenas, buffalo herds, giraffes, white rhinos, and even the elusive African wild dog, one of Africa’s most endangered species.
Ngala was the first private reserve to be incorporated into the Kruger National Park and benefits from exclusive traversing rights across this diverse landscape. Expert-guided game drives take guests deep into the heart of the reserve, where sensitive off-roading techniques allow for incredible wildlife photography and intimate sightings. For a more immersive experience, guests can opt for guided walking safaris, offering a chance to track wildlife on foot and appreciate the finer details of the bush.

The spacious Family Suite accommodates four guests, offering a private pool and dedicated safari vehicle for a truly exclusive experience.
The lodge’s swimming pool overlooks a scenic riverine woodland, an oasis for both relaxation and birdwatching. Between safari excursions, guests can unwind with a spa treatment or stay active in the fully equipped fitness sala. Gourmet dining is a highlight, with hearty breakfasts and lunches served beneath the shade of an ancient Boer Bean tree, while evenings bring candlelit feasts in the courtyard or an authentic African boma experience under the open sky.

Situated in the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, this five-star safari lodge delivers world-class sightings in one of South Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions.
Your safari experience includes morning and afternoon game drives, timed to capture the natural rhythms of the bush.

Expertly trained field guides and Shangaan trackers accompany each drive, sharing fascinating stories, insights, and in-depth knowledge about the reserve’s ecology, wildlife behavior, and local culture. Their deep understanding of the fauna, flora, and terrain adds immeasurable value to your game viewing – whether you’re watching a leopard on the hunt, tracking a pride of lions, or admiring the smaller creatures that are just as vital to the ecosystem.
The open safari vehicles offer uninterrupted views, allowing for excellent photography and a true connection with nature. The flexibility to off-road (responsibly and within conservation guidelines) provides rare opportunities to follow wildlife closely and experience up-close encounters with Africa’s iconic species.
At Kirkman’s Kamp, every moment is designed to go beyond the ordinary and immerse you in the true theatre of the African wilderness. Elevate your luxury safari experience by embracing the small yet significant touches that make a stay here so unforgettable.
Start your early morning game drive with a special bush coffee stop—often referred to as a “cappuccino rendezvous”—where you can sip freshly brewed coffee while watching the sun rise over the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. These peaceful pauses in the bush offer the perfect moment to reflect, take photos, or simply absorb the stillness of your surroundings.
As dusk falls and your afternoon safari winds down, your guide will select the ideal scenic spot for a sundowner stop. Enjoy a refreshing drink and gourmet snacks while you watch the golden African sunset paint the sky—a beloved safari ritual and an opportunity to connect with the landscape on a deeper level.
To enhance your wildlife viewing, each guest is provided with a complimentary pair of premium Swarovski Optik binoculars during their stay. These high-performance optics ensure you don’t miss a moment—whether it’s a distant leopard lounging in a tree or a dazzling array of birdlife flitting through the canopy.
For the best experience, dress in neutral-colored clothing and pack a light jacket or fleece for the cool morning and evening drives. Don’t forget your camera, sunscreen, and a sense of wonder—Kirkman’s Kamp promises adventure, relaxation, and memories to last a lifetime.
