We’ve no doubt Harry Kirkman could tell a bloody good story. His namesake, Kirkman’s Kamp, is one for the books. With its river views and rolling lawns, the sprawling 1920s homestead (once a humble papaya plantation) sits at the heart of one of the country’s most exclusive private game reserve. Kirkman’s Kamp is the kind of place where you really do feel like a guest. Not a paying one but a rib-cracking-hug kind of one. Here you’ll find big game (Sabi Sand is leopard central) –and even bigger smiles – around every corner. And old Harry himself, rifle in hand, keeps a watchful eye on it all from his perch above the fireplace.
