Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa

Kings Camp

Wildlife Lodge

Trip Advisor Rating 4.9
Extraordinary 4.9

Kings Camp, an elegant retreat in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, captures the romantic allure of a colonial past. Facing an open savanna plain with a vibrant waterhole, it offers unparalleled wildlife encounters.

The eleven generously spacious colonial suites are exquisitely appointed with air-conditioning, Victorian ball-and-claw bathtubs, indoor and outdoor double showers, fully stocked minibars, and private verandahs overlooking the bushveld. Rich wood and thatch tones blend seamlessly with the natural hues of the surrounding wilderness, creating a luxurious yet authentic African ambiance.

The restaurant serves refined African and American cuisine, with vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal options available upon request, ensuring a tailored dining experience. Guests can unwind by the sparkling outdoor swimming pool, relax in the lush garden, or maintain their routine at the well-equipped fitness centre, all while immersed in the serene beauty of the reserve.

Twice-daily game drives offer thrilling sightings of the Big Five, complemented by nearby hiking opportunities that showcase the area's diverse wildlife and landscapes. Located 4.6 km from the heart of Timbavati Private Nature Reserve and 50 km from Drakensig Golf Club, Kings Camp delivers a sophisticated blend of colonial charm and untamed adventure in South Africa's pristine wilderness.
