Where the wild things are. (Part II - Kirkman's Kamp)

OK I did cry when we left Ngala. I was worried that Kirkman's Kamp couldn't possibly live up to our first family safari experience.

I needn't have worried.

Kirkman's is completely different in style - think old colonial, rolling grass lawns and sandy river beds. What everyone will tell you though, is that it doesn't matter where you stay, the quality of the safari is only as good as the quality of the guides and trackers. At Kirkman's Kamp we struck gold.

The boys had an absolute blast - learning to fish in the river (before being chased out by a herd of elephants), drive the jeeps in the sand beds and air rifle shooting with the other guides and trackers. Definitely a 'Boys Own' adventure.

So elegant.

Too much beautiful food.

I want one. The cutest cat EVER.

Say Cheese.

All this sitting is making me thirsty. Its a tough life.

I swear that's what my rear end looked like at the end of the safari.

I highly recommend &beyond and we loved both Ngala and Kirkman's. I was hesitant that they may be too stuffy for the kids, but all the staff went out of their way to make this the most amazing holiday for all of us. Take me back please.
