At Kirkman's Kamp we also use a Facebook page where you can follow us on a daily basis. Please look up Kirkmans Kamp Private Game Reserve on Facebook and then Click , LIKE....

Of all the things I was expecting to see this morning, wild dogs were NOT one of them, I assure you. As part of our training, we’ve been out most mornings and evenings with the guys here riding shotgun, and watching and learning how the professionals do it. I was riding with Dalson in the driving seat and Justice in the tracker’s, and...

After a long seven week work cycle, Allyn (guide) and myself made an early break for it on this cold Monday morning to get off the reserve and on holiday, trying to keep a low profile not to bump into any game drive vehicles. We came across this extremely relaxed, and extremely curious Lilac breasted roller... And even though we were already in holiday...

We drove from Phinda Mountain Lodge in the afternoon in search of the lions. It was just Vincent and myself in the vehicle. We went to the last position where they were last seen which was at the quarry just off Sodwana Bay road. We got there and found their tracks. We followed the tracks on Mangoose Alley. The tracks went off of Mangoose Alley towards...

It was quite a surprise to see this "nocturnal" critter crossing the road at 10 o'clock in the morning after a long game drive...his welcome appearance closed down the already exciting morning with smiles all around!

We had been witness to a "love match" between two leopards and by way of celebration moved off for a sundowner at McKenzies waterhole. It was not to be since the hippo therein found it all too boring until joined by a bull elephant who decided to bathe under the light of the full moon. What a wonderful trio of sightings within 30 minutes of one another!

Amongst the many sightings of leopard during 6 unforgettable days at Dulini Lodge , "Miss Playful" as her shangaan name translates, seemed to sense her beauty and composed this shot for us perfectly. Amongst all the Sabi Sand leopards she is the most arboreal.

We followed this leopard for about an hour towards the Timbavati Riverbed, where she started calling for her cub. Her young male cub dashed from the thickets to greet her, and they crossed the riverbed. We were fortunate to find them on the other side, mom walking in zigzags trying to tire him out. We followed for about another hour where they eventually...

As we were coming out of the lodge during our morning safari, we turned the corner to find four male lion trying to track something down. The encounter was very close to the lodge, so we thought that they may have been stalking the people around the area. Only seconds later, as the lions split up, four buffalo came stampeding out of the bushes. Three of...

I saw this boomslang being mobbed by a pair of lilac breasted rollers near the top of a wooden telephone pole. The rollers had used a cavity in the pole as a nest and the snake obviously fancied an easy meal. The rollers ferociously defended their nest, bombing and diving at the snake, until he gave up.
