Situated in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Kings Camp faces an open savanna plain with a waterhole, which is frequented by a wide variety of wildlife both day and night.

Meet the BIG 5

As part of the greater Kruger National Park, which covers an area of 2.2 million hectares, this Timbavati safari lodge is a wildlife haven boasting a diversity of animal life including the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo). With 100 km² of bush to traverse, you have plenty of space to explore the endless variety of Africa’s wildlife in an open Land Rover or on foot.

The Camp

The Main Camp consists of six Luxury Suites, one Luxury Family Suite and two Honeymoon Suites which all offer modern amenities and magnificent views of the African Bush. The Luxury and Honeymoon Suites each have private plunge pools and comfortable outdoor lounge areas.

At the Main Camp a thatched viewing lounge overlooks an active waterhole. The informal open plan lounge and bar & coffee lounge are all ideal places where you can simply relax and soak up the tranquility of the African bush at this Timbavati safari lodge.

Vegan-friendly Dining

Our dining options include fine dining in our elegant dining room, laid-back lunches on the patio overlooking an active waterhole, vastly-popular traditional boma dinners, breakfasts in the bush and private dinners on the veranda of your suite.

The ultimate in safari privacy, Waterbuck Private Camp at Kings Camp, boasts a four-bedroomed villa with its own Land Rover with game ranger and tracker, as well as a villa host and chef to take care of your every need!

Vegan-friendly bush getaway

Offering a sublime South African safari, Kings Camp Private Game Reserve is the best place to treat yourself and your loved ones to a carefree vegan-friendly bush getaway. Our experienced team, lead by Assistant Manager Hayley, with her international Vegan Hospitality certification, who is the only certified vegan hospitality consultant in Africa, will ensure guests who follow strict plant-based diets, have every detail taken care of. So you can sit back and enjoy the breath-taking natural beauty of the African bush.

Vegan Safari

With enthusiasm, the passionate team at Kings Camp are putting the Lodge on the Vegan Safari map. Hayley and Executive Chef, Gareth, have collaborated and created innovative, delicious vegan and plant-based meal options. These amazing creations are a permanent feature on the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, which also allows other guests the opportunity to try them out. Food is an important component on safari, so Kings Camp will make sure every meal and snack can be served plant-based and will even arrange a vegan cheese and wine tasting for guests!

Hayley ensures that all of our vegan guests have the same experience that our traditional guests do, this includes the taste & presentation of meals, variety, nutrition & overall attention to detail. “For us, it is important to not only cater to our vegan requests but to attract vegan guests to the lodge, we love providing this unique experience for them.’’

Hayley’s passion and knowledge relates not only to the food at Kings Camp, but also the overall service making sure all staff in each department are trained in what vegan customers need and want. Attention to detail is everything and all the small touches are covered from the amenities in the rooms to the spa products used.

Should you wish to have a vegan field guide during your stay, then this can also be arranged, and our head guide Grant Murphy promises not to eat all the vegan droewors (traditional South Africa snack) at the sundowner stop!

The lodge can arrange some exciting and unique vegan friendly experiences for you which include taking part in an anti-poaching flight, Rhino notching, wildlife rehabilitation tours and much more.

At Kings Camp we go above and beyond to ensure our guests needs are catered for ensuing a 5-star safari holiday experience of a lifetime.
