Location & Setting

Kirkman's dates to the early 1900s, when it was the original homestead of Harry Kirkman; it has been stylishly renovated to possess an old-world feel. Its elevated position provides stunning views of the surrounding bushveld and overlooks the Sand River. The lodge is easily reachable from Skukuza Airport and Shaws Gate, the most southerly entry gate to the Sabi Sand.
