Situated in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Kings Camp faces an open savanna plain with a wate

As part of the greater Kruger National Park, which covers and area of 2.2 million hectares, Kings Camp offers a wealth of bio-diversity. With access to 100 square kilometres of traversing big game abounds, with each day bringing something different whilst exploring the endless fascination of Africa’s wildlife in an open Land Rover. Nine generously spacious Colonial Suites and two exquisite Honeymoon Suites are luxuriously equipped with air-conditioning, Victorian ball-and-claw bath, indoor and outdoor double shower, fully stocked mini-bar and private verandah. The honeymoon suites enjoy the privacy of their own pools overlooking the bush. And for the ultimate in safari privacy, Waterbuck Private Camp, with its own game viewing vehicle and game ranger, as well as a personal butler and chef, boasts a four-bedroomed Private Villa.

Meet Donald Siwele ⭐️

Born and raised in Acornhoek, just outside the Greater Kruger, Donald’s connection to the bush began long before his career in the safari industry.

With his father working as a tracker at Londolozi for many years, Donald grew up immersed in the world of tracking, often accompanying his father and learning the art of reading the bush firsthand. After school he would also spend time watching over his grandfather’s cattle, adding to his early knowledge of being able to track and find animals.

His career in the bush began in 1995 working as a barman and waiter before moving into the tracking team in 2014. Since then, he has continued to develop his skills earning his Level 3 tracking qualification and establishing himself as a highly skilled professional tracker.

For Donald, tracking is about more than just following footprints. It is about understanding the finer details of the bush, reading the landscape and recognising the stories that nature leaves behind. We are so lucky to have his knowledge, experience and passion as part of the Kings Camp team!

Some of the regulars at the Kings Camp waterhole. 🐘

From the Kings Warren Underground Hide, guests can enjoy wildlife viewing from a cool, comfortable setting beside the waterhole. During the hot, dry months, the waterhole becomes a magnet for wildlife, offering excellent opportunities to watch animals coming in to drink.

October has looked a little like this 🐾

The cats have been putting on a show, there have been some fantastic birding opportunities and two weeks of incredible summer temperatures have sent the elephants into a swimming frenzy. We were even lucky enough to catch a honey badger on the move with a skink in its mouth!

From familiar faces to unexpected encounters - it’s been a month full of moments that make every game drive as exciting as the next🐾

This morning’s drive brought curious baby elephants, lionesses resting peacefully in the shade, buffalo grazing in the plains and plenty of other little surprises along the way.

Another morning well spent completely immersed in nature with our guests 🙂‍↔️🐃🐘🦁✨

One of the most popular spots in camp on warm October afternoons.

With a pool just metres from the waterhole, it's the perfect place to settle into a sunlounger, enjoy a cold drink and cool off between game drives.

And for those staying in our Luxury Suites, there's also your own private plunge pool waiting back at your suite.

It’s been an incredible few days with resident female leopard, Dzindza 🐾

Earlier this week, she hoisted an impala into a marula tree where she spent almost three days feeding and guarding her hard-earned meal, offering our guests some unforgettable sightings!

Yesterday morning, a nearby hyena claimed the remains. Having been a familiar presence in the area since 2021 when she was born, we look forward to many more special moments with this beautiful leopardess.
