Take a look at just a few of the reasons we think you should book your romantic adventure to the Timbavati.

With their expertise, you’ll have front-row seats to nature’s most thrilling scenes, from watching a pride of lions lazing in the sunshine to spotting a leopard lounging in a tree.
Located within the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park, Kings Camp offers exclusive access to some of the most pristine wilderness in South Africa. This means fewer vehicles, more intimate encounters with wildlife, and the freedom to venture off the beaten path.
