This 1920s cattle ranch turned luxury lodge is a research hub, thanks to its leopard sightings

Kirkman's Kamp was a cattle ranch and hunting camp on the border of Kruger National Park.But it offers diverse scenery and unparalleled private wildlife viewing opportunities not afforded by the national park across the Sabie River.

Although some emphasis was on protecting the wildlife in the reserve, farm managers - like Harry Kirkman, after whom the lodge is named - were free to shoot in defence of their livestock. Yet sitting on the elevated cottage patio or lounging around the pool, the maximum of 25 guests would never know that Kruger's biggest camp, which at capacity sleeps 1,000 people, is practically just over the hill.Although the tranquillity of a poolside-GnT may appeal to some, most come here for the wildlife.

But most of the sightings are virtue of the camp's skilled trackers, and a carefully choreographed system that cycles guests through the best sightings with limited vehicles at each."We've just had a sighting of Tengile and two," the Land Cruiser radio crackled to life shortly before 11AM. Guide Nicholas Coleman had just pulled up alongside the lodge at the end of a successful morning's game drive and scenic bush breakfast."Any takers are welcome to join. Over.

Despite the impending midday heat and an already long morning drive, the guests needed no persuasion. Coleman wrestled the 4x4 back into gear and issued a weak apology to the staff who'd customarily gathered to greet us on return to camp. "Leopards are so prolific in this area, and given that they are so well habituated and are being seen on a regular basis, this makes them the perfect control population on which to base a leopard study," "These leopards are arguably the most well-documented and well-researched density of leopards in the world."Nineteen lodges in the reserve work together to record and document the animals.
