A MAGICAL PLACE TO STAY

“I have visited Kirkman’s a few times now and it’s a magical place to stay.”

The staff is fantastic, the nature and the wildlife is the best, the moments of joy are so deeply loved by me and my family, the love for Africa is born here and will never go away. I can get old here – it’s every time a feeling of homecoming. That feeling is so special and so real. If I step out of the car or plane and put my feet on Kirkman’s ground then every time I think I don’t want to leave this place again. I fell in love with it!

INTRODUCTION TO AFRICA

“My first major overseas trip was to South Africa with my friend Elaine who has travelled to Africa on many occasions. Elaine planned the whole trip and I just tagged along. Well, the first safari that I experienced was at the wonderful Kirkman’s Kamp. From the time that we arrived at the camp until the time that we left, I was made to feel so welcome and like part of the Kirkman’s family.”

The accommodation was absolute first class, the meals were AAA quality and each and every one of the staff that we came in contact with made you feel like you were the most special person in the camp. It broke my heart to leave after two nights, but I was going onto experience another &Beyond Camp at Ngala so that made it just a little easier. To all those who contributed to making my stay so special I say thanks, I will always remember you and I will be back to show my family just how special you all are. Love Jenny xxxxxx

NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE

“Words are so hard to describe the emotion of this trip. I felt so fortunate that we picked this safari lodge. i’ve recommended it to people to come here. the staff, rangers, trackers, and everyone else made it a fantastice memorable trip”

I was amazed at the hospitality was shown to myself and friends. The native dance that was performed for us during dinner made me cry. Beautiful people. Seeing the animals was breathtaking. Pur ranger Dalson and tracker, Robert were so informative. I couldn’t wait to come back and share with everyone things I learned on this trip. I loved loved loved being informed about each animal and it’s characteristics. I wish I didn’t live far away. I hope to come back again soon. i’ll never forget this place and will always keep it close to my heart.
