Set within the magnificent Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, adjacent to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, Kings Camp Private Game Reserve is the absolute pinnacle of conscious luxury in the African bush. As the first lodge in Africa to receive global certification from Vegan Hospitality, it offers an unprecedented, seamless vegan safari experience, making it an essential and profoundly special feature in the Eat Plants & Travel collection.

The accommodation is incredibly luxurious and steeped in classic safari elegance. Guests stay in spectacular, generously spaced suites that face an open savanna plain and an active waterhole, allowing for incredible wildlife viewing straight from your private verandah or plunge pool. To ensure a fully aligned ethical stay, the Kings Camp team entirely 'veganizes' the rooms for plant-based guests, offering cruelty-free and vegan spa amenities throughout the suite.

The culinary and safari experiences here are truly extraordinary. The dedicated kitchen team serves an innovative, tailored plant-based menu for every meal, including traditional South African dishes reimagined—like jackfruit potjie and chickpea flour bush omelettes. Beyond the dining room, guests are treated to vegan snacks during their twice-daily 'Big 5' game drives and can even request a vegan field guide to ensure the entire adventure aligns with their values. Combining world-class wildlife encounters with uncompromising ethical hospitality, Kings Camp delivers a once-in-a-lifetime, fully inclusive South African safari.
