African Safari and Island Romance – Kirkman’s Kamp

• Daily activities
• Overnight: andBeyond Kirkman’s Kamp

Days two and three of your safari experience will be spent exploring the stunning Sabi Sand Game Reserve that surrounds you as you participate on game drives and nature walks included with your stay at Kirkman’s Kamp. Game drives take you in a safari vehicle as you discover the day-to-day lives of wild animals both on and off the beaten track. Nature walks bring travellers out of their comfort zone by immersing them amongst the bush landscapes and track the local wildlife on foot.

Neighbouring the world-famous Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve is home to hundreds of species, both classic safari animals and rare wildlife. During game drives and nature walks with a highly trained guide, cross the reserve keeping an eye out for big cats; especially leopards lounging on rocks, in the trees or by water holes. Wildlife lovers can also hope to see the rest of the big five wild animals including magnificent lions, imposing buffalo, majestic herds of elephants and two different species of rhino (white and black).

For bird enthusiasts, ask your safari guide about the different indigenous species that live on the game reserve and about the migrant birds that swarm the area. Botany enthusiasts can take advantage of their guide’s wealth of knowledge from medicinal uses of plants to exotic flowers and trees.

After an action-packed day in the wild, arrive back at your accommodation and relax with any of the following recommended additional activities (at extra cost) from extra safari excursions to relaxing spa treatments.
