Kings Camp Private Game Reserve

It’s not often that we’re lost for words, but our experience at Kings Camp was a dream come true! The staff are exceptional at making you feel welcome and at ease from the moment you arrive. The hospitality and attentiveness is not temporary, it continues for the entirety of your stay. You truly feel part of their family and community. The suite was exceptional with an attention to detail and comfort not seen many times, if ever, at other hotels or lodges. The food was always of the highest standard and quality and provided excellent variety and choice. My wife is coeliac so has to have an adapted menu due to needing a strict gluten free diet and this was provided from the moment of arrival and all staff were aware of this need. We did not need to remind or mention it again. The Safari experience was nothing short of magical. Our guide Remember and tracker Elvis were so skilled, calm and professional. Watching them work was almost as joyous as viewing all of the incredible animals and wildlife we were able to view. We were able to see interactions and behaviours from the big five that we will never forget. The luxury and splendour of Kings Camp will never not impress, but it is the people who made this such a unique experience. The team go above and beyond for their guests. If you are considering a safari experience, Kings Camp is going to give you treasured memories and you will be taking part of it home in your heart forever. Thank you to everyone, we will be back!

Kings Camp is a very special place that we will truly never forget. We visited on our honeymoon and couldn't have picked a more perfect place for the two of us. The staff and their level of service, the accommodations, the food, the game drives and everything else was out of this world. It almost feels surreal that we were there, and we were always very excited for every single game drive. Our guide, Neil, and our tracker, Donald, helped us with seeing everything we wanted to see and more - including the big 5, a cheetah, painted dogs, hyenas and more. They were also a lot of fun to hang out with. Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and patient whenever anyone had questions about the wildlife. He also helped us great some incredible pictures. The thing that stands out the most after looking back on our stay was how present we were. I had no desire to be on the phone, other than taking pictures. The only bad part about the whole trip was needing to leave! We hope to visit Kings Camp again, it will always hold a place in my heart.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kings Camp. Our group of 8 stayed at the Waterbuck Private Camp and everything was spectacular. The facilities were beautiful, the staff, led by house manager, Patricia, could not have been more attentive and quickly made Waterbuck seem like "home". The food, prepared by chef Lindi, was delicious. But everything was overshadowed by the spectacular game drives. Our guide, Jason, and tracker, Albert, were simply the best. It is impossible to list all of the amazing things we saw and experienced in 3 days. They were so knowledgeable about everything, animals, plants, birds, etc. and were able to track and find even elusive animals. They consistently were able to anticipate where the animals were headed so we were there ahead of them (and ahead of the other tracker's vehicles) so we had unimpeded viewing. Our stay at Kings Camp was truly a once in a lifetime experience that none of us will ever forget.

Kings Camp is an amazing experience! It has a max of 20 guests which means you are looked after extremely well. From the initial welcome to the waves goodbye you are taken care of. We had two game drives per day as well as a walking tour following a bush breakfast! Our guide Remember and tracker Elvis were amazing. We were able to view the Big Five with bonuses of wild dogs and ostriches.! They treated us to not just views of game but a wealth of interesting knowledge about the animals and Kruger National Park. I would highly recommend Kings Camp and if you consider this camp ask for Remember and Elvis as your guide and tracker, you will not be disappointed!

We spent a couple of days at King’s Camp and our stay was fantastic. Our suite was big, beautifully decorated and had a nice terasse. Only thing we didn’t quite like, was, that bathroom was without any walls, just part of the main room. However, there was a separate toilet. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, all very tasty, also beautifully displayed and portions were big. The gym was really outdated, it would have been good to do some proper work out. We were told that the gym is going to be renovated in the spring 2026. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The managers were looking after everybody all the time and made sure, that we could just relax and enjoy our experience. Cynet,our guide, and Sunnyboy, our tracker, were great and highly experienced professionals, who found us unforgettable sightings during every drive. We saw the big five plus a lot of wild animals, as well. I had previously been at the camp (2011) and had therefore very high expectations of our stay. However, King’s Camp was able to exceed them, once again. I can warmly recommend this lodge. It is really worth of going and I personally shall return there, one day.

Had an absolutely stellar safari experience at Kings Camp. Our guide and tracker went above and beyond to find wildlife for us and share their wealth of knowledge, all while making us feel comfortable and secure. Lodgings and food were excellent - how often can you say you were greeted by giraffe, kudu, and other wildlife right from your own private deck!? And don't forget the underground photography hide! On top of all of that, the staff was friendly and made us all feel like family. A terrific facility and great adventure!

Kings Camp is truly unforgettable and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We chose it for our honeymoon, and looking back, we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect destination. From the staff and their incredible hospitality, to the beautiful accommodations, delicious meals, and of course the unforgettable game drives—every part of our stay felt extraordinary.||It now feels surreal that we were actually there. We looked forward to every drive with so much excitement. Our guide, Neil, and tracker, Donald, went above and beyond to make sure we experienced everything we hoped for and more. With their expertise, we saw the Big Five, a cheetah, painted dogs, hyenas, giraffes, and so much more. They made the experience fun, informative, and full of moments we’ll never forget. Neil’s patience and knowledge of the wildlife made it easy to ask questions, and he even helped us capture some amazing photos along the way.||What stands out most now is how present we felt during our stay. I never once thought about checking my phone, other than to snap pictures of the incredible sights around us. The only downside was that our time there had to come to an end.||We’re already dreaming about returning one day. Kings Camp will forever be one of the most special experiences of our lives
