About this trip

Staying at Klaserie, you’ll be treated to a real off-the-beaten-track safari. Far from the madding Kruger crowds, you’ll meet very few other vehicles when you set off through the bush in your open-topped jeep. This lends the game drives here a really epic, authentic feeling that no longer exists in many other reserves. 


The wildlife viewing is second to none in Klaserie. As well as the Big Five, the reserve is home to giraffe, zebra, warthog, spotted hyaena, baboon, hippo, impala, kudu, vervet monkey, waterbuck, wildebeest, bushbaby and mongoose! In addition, you may see wild dog, cheetah, bat-eared fox, honey badger, porcupine, aardvark, civet, caracal and serval. Up in the trees, all kinds of birds twitter into the twilight, making it a brilliant destination for birders.

Game drives are conducted throughout the year at optimum viewing times when game activity is generally at its peak, i.e. early morning and late afternoon into evening. We will be utilising a private 4x4 landcruiser and field guide, meaning we have complete control and maximum flexibility to get the best photographs possible. Our photographic group will comprise a maximum of six guests, to ensure extra space and comfort whilst on game drive. Back at the lodge between drives is the perfect time and location to look at photo cataloging and processing. 


During your stay there will be the opportunity for you to go on an unforgettable helicopter tour over the local Panorama Route and see Greater Kruger area from a whole new perspective. Our experienced pilot and guide will take you on an exhilarating journey from the Lowveld to one of the largest canyons on earth! The Blyde River canyon may be the largest “green canyon” due to its lush subtropical vegetation. This magnificent canyon is largely untouched by humans and is a wonder to experience from the helicopter. See for yourself where the next Tom Cruise movie, Mission Impossible 8, was filmed!
