Robins Camp is situated in the rugged northern basalt area of the park, which is rich in natural water with seeps and springs dotting the area.
Robins Camp is home to some of Africa’s last great buffalo herds, with groups of over 2,000 still seen. Its abundant prey supports the park’s highest lion concentration. The area also hosts reedbuck, roan, sable, tsessebe, elephants, and other wildlife, with frequent sightings of cheetahs and wild dogs. The diverse landscape includes hills, rocky outcrops, and seasonal vleis, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Visitors of all ages are welcome, with options for self-drive or guided trips.
