I've only been to KTP three times (1992, 2007, 2010), but I've stayed in all of the camps except for Bitterpan and Gharagab (because I travel by sedan, a 4x4 is too costly for this solo traveler). My favourite KTP camp is Grootkolk, not so much for the wealth of sightings but for the special ambience of the place. I also love the remoteness of Union's End, have now been there seven times — once in 1992, when it was a lengthy trek from Nossob, and three visits in both 2007 and 2010. So ...

TR x3
KK
Urikaruus x2
KTC
MM
Nossob x3
Grootkolk x2
