We just returned from our South African trip and Kings Camp was definitely the highlight of our 2 week trip. This is a place to return to time and again. Warren and Lisha are such gracious and welcoming hosts and this is mirrored in all the staff. The accommodations - well our daughter thought they looked like something out of... More

I wanted to add our review of our stay at Kings Camp this May 2012. I did a lot of research trying to decide where to stay on our trip to South Africa. This is a long and expensive trip and I wanted to get it right. After much consideration, we chose Kings Camp, and I am glad that we... More

Our stay at Kings Camp was beyond words. From the time Warren picked us up to the moment we left, it was pure joy. The lodge is lovely. Elegance but with restraint. Nothing over the top, but very beautiful, comfortable and commodious. And what's not to like about an outdoor shower. The admin staff are there to greet you. The... More

I usually use these forums to vent my disappointments but I've got NOTHING bad at all to say about this experience, in fact I could froth at the mouth for hours about how good this place is. You can have all the trimmings you like but if the staff cant deliver its not worth a cracker. Kings Camp delivers. The... More

If you want to experiance true pampering and luxury in the midst of the most beautiful wilderness- then head to Kings Camp. We spent a week here and it was too short. Every day was wonderful and unique. Our guide Morne was like a magician who could seemingly produce on demand any animal in the bush that my demanding photographer... More

We stayed two nights here following our 3 night stay in Arathusa Safari Lodge. We would certainly recommend Kings Camp but our experience with Arathusa was outstanding and set the bar very high. The welcome, the room, the service were great... not to mention the super experience of eating a candlelit dinner on our veranda under the stars and next... More

My husband booked this trip as a surprise for my 'big' birthday this year. He chose Kings Camp based upon a recommendation from a client who had stayed there previously. This place is just amazing - we are forever changed after spending 3 nights in this incredible environment. First, the accommodations are beautiful, with attention to every detail. Our room... More

We visited for three days on New Years. two teenage girls with us. It was the Trip of a Lifetime. There were 3 major things that made the trip. 1) Hospitality. From Warren meeting us at the airport, to the entire staff, this is a first class operation. 2) Guides - we had Morne as our guide and Selby as... More

Kings Camp in Timbervarti Private Game Reserve, everything about it was excellent, the people, the service, the room, the driver, tracker and guide and the food. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The drives through the game parks were such an amazing experience. The guide, Cynert, was incredibly knowledgable and entertaining. We really got to experience the animals up... More
