Kings Camp – staff review

I had visited Kings Camp before, but they were about to embark on a massive refurbishment (which was needed). So I decided to visit again to see the finished result. And very impressive it was too!

Kings Camp has a soft colonial style with an expansive lawn running down to the riverbed and a gracious ambience. This style may not suite everyone. But if you like that traditional style, Kings Camp does it very well.

However what they have now done is bring the rooms into the 21st century in terms of comfort and amenities. The Superior suites are still very much colonial in style. But the bathrooms are rather funky with an interesting baroque-meets-New -York-loft style. Ornate mirrors and sepia photos are mixed up with a black metal framed shower and toilet cubicle. A door from the indoor shower takes you to the outdoor shower in a small courtyard. Each luxury suite now has a private plunge pool and a private sunken seating area/firepit. The outside is distinctly modern in feel but blends beautifully with the flowing lawns.

Game-viewing - I experienced good game-viewing despite the rather extreme hear (it was mid December). However Grant's knowledge and fascinating deep explanations were what really stood out for me.

I also popped in on Waterbuck Camp which is their exclusive use villa only 5 mins away. This has not yet been refurbished and so was not looking as sparky. Again you would need to like the colonial decor look. You should also note that the main suite is a lot larger than the others. So this is a good option for a multi-generational family group for parents/grand-parents and the others for children. But not so good if it is several couples sharing.
