Three amazing lion pride camps in South Africa

Kings Camp

Kings Camp is one of the best examples of a serene and natural camp in South Africa where you can watch lions and other big game in their undisturbed, natural environment. Learn about lion interactions and behaviours, and get to know just how intelligent these animals really are. Watch new lion prides being formed and rivalries being resolved in an untamed wilderness as the powerful animals roar and fight to defend their pride or territory.

The camp is a private reserve, which means that you get all the luxury amenities you would from a five-star hotel, but with the twist of waking up to birds chirping and lions roaring, as well as the benefit of guided safaris.

Shindzela Tented Safari Camp

If you’re looking for the total safari experience – tents, rough terrain and beautiful sunsets, and watching animals as they approach the watering holes, then the Shindzela Tented Safari Camp is it. The entire camp is unfenced, which means that there is no barrier between yourself and nature – you'll feel perfectly safe as you watch beautiful lion prides in their natural habitat. You really can’t get closer to nature than that.

andBeyond Ngala Safari Lodge

andBeyond Ngala Safari Lodge is the epitome of the safari experience and one of the very best camps to experience the beauty that the wilderness has to offer. Imagine having afternoon tea right next to an elephant watering hole. The animals at this lodge interact freely and you are sure to see lion cubs playing with reckless abandon, amongst other unique experiences.
