Nothing much has changed since I last saw Kirkmans Kamp. Indeed as a prime example of a colonial-style lodge, you wouldn’t want it to. You will either love the colonial ambience or it will leave you a little cold. My only feeling was that perhaps it was looking all too fresh with lots of white painted woodwork and spotless interior. There was no real patina of age here! But then others would complain that it was looking tired so one cannot win!
Kirkmans is in an excellent concession and the game-viewing and personalized safari activities are a big plus. With the opening of the luxurious Tengile Lodge in the same concession, Kirkmans is now the premier option (with Tengile being the luxurious choice). I think this is fair as their rooms are slightly small by today’s standards, though perfectly adequate!
