And Beyond Kirkman’s Kamp, a resort with a rich history and a safari experience unlike any other in the world, is perched high on a ridge in the world-famous Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, overlooking the spectacular Sand River.
The Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, which shares an unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park, South Africa’s largest and most well-known game reserve in the world, benefits from a diverse wildlife population. The reserve is, nonetheless, world-renowned for its frequent leopard sightings, which are unlike anywhere else in the world. Guests at Kirkman’s Kamp have the opportunity to explore 10,500 hectares (26,000 acres) of exclusive-use territory, which is home to not just the Big Five but also other rare and iconic species. Safaris are guided by skilled &Beyond-trained ranger and tracker teams who maintain responsible off-roading methods and vehicle limitations at sightings to ensure the exclusivity of an up-close animal viewing experience. The spirit of safari comes alive at the iconic &Beyond Kirkman’s Kamp.
Step back in time to the classical elegance of this historic 1920s homestead, where each of the 12 guest apartments offers breathtaking views of the untouched countryside that surrounds the Sand River.
Enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives, educational bush walks, birdwatching, and breathtaking views of spotted hyenas, different antelope, elephants, white rhinos, buffalo, and hippo.
The Sabi Sand Game Reserve is well-known for its leopard sightings, and you might even see one of these secretive animals sleeping after a successful night hunt.
Most travelers are drawn to wildlife, and the guide and tracker teams are well-versed in the subject.
Game drives in the Sabi Sand can venture off road in pursuit of spectacular sights, and your safari can even continue after dark, with a carefully filtered floodlight used to illuminate nocturnal wildlife.
