Lodges in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve

Guides are fantastic and so enthusiast and competent.

This place exceeded our expectations. The staff was wonderful and the safari drives were incredible. We had Herbert as our tracker, and Julian as our game guide. Both fantastic and we saw the Big Five and more. Highlight was seeing the wild dogs. Great to chat to during sundowners and so informative with all the information on the animals. Julian also talked to us about various birds and trees along the way. This was a great addition in between looking for the animals. Molly, Dee and our butler Kevin were all wonderful. I couldn’t recommend this place more honestly. The staff was wonderful and attentive, everything was always extremely clean and the food was incredible. Pretty was the chef when we were there and the food was fantastic. We had the best 4 days we wish we stayed longer. The group dinners were very fun too.

Everything was perfect and high quality. Accommodation was very nice and comfortable, bed was amazing. Staff were very very friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing and they really go out of their way to make the experience unforgettable. We had lunch and dinners in various settings. The gym is small but well equipped. Massages were amazing and the game drives were fun and comfy.

Absolutely lovely lodge in the middle of the park, hippos down in the river, elephants, girafe, kudu and many other animals crossing regularly. Service is really exceptional and our guides for the safari were delightful ! Thank you all the team

Everything was perfect Staff, trackers, rangers… nice and very good in their jobs. We saw a lot in two days with Dani and Rich Amazing experience 😍

My wife and I stayed 5 nights. It surpassed my expectations in all aspects of our stay. The game drives are amazing. The private nature preserve experience, while a bit expensive, turned out to be a good value. This preserve is adjacent to the park and the wildlife has unfettered access to both. The level of intimacy in the wildlife viewing just cannot be appreciated until you experience it. I do not think you could get this in a simple excursion into Krueger Park itself where you are limited to the public roads. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The food, accommodations, and service were all excellent. One afternoon the elephants dug up the water lines from the well. The staff worked thru the night to restore service by morning. Even this added to the adventure.

We stayed 3 nights at King's Camp out of a total of 11 nights in South Africa and this was by far the best part of our entire trip. The place is immaculate - very large and comfortable rooms, extremely friendly staff and a beautiful location in the TImbavati game reserve. We were taken out for dawn and dusk game drives by our own dedicated ranger Cynet and spotter Sunnyboy, in vehicle we had to ourselves most of the time. All the seats were next to the side (so there were no obstructed views), there were warm blankets in the car for the cold and we stopped for sundowners every evening and watched the stars come out - and what stars - amazing views of the milky way. The game was excellent too - lions including cubs, leopard + kill, and all the rest of the big five (if that's what you're into), hyena and cubs. A big highlight was following a leopard through the bush in the car - simply unforgettable! Plus a multitude of birds from eagles to wax-bills - and our extremely knowledgeable ranger Cynet could identify them all! Our room was enormous and luxurious - private secluded pool and veranda area, carefully designed so that it was not overlooked but looked out into the bush with animals traipsing past! There's also a wonderful hide by the waterhole so you can watch the animals coming down to drink and mud-bathe - including a whole herd of elephants! The staff still have a sense of wonder about the animals they see and are just as excited as the guests. And there are steenboks and kudu who visit the grounds and wander around the rooms - and a lovely night-watchman who escorts you to and from your room after dark. The trouble with the food was that it was too good and too plentiful - hard not to gain weight! Well cooked, well presented and served by lovely, attentive staff. Every other night we had a buffet in the traditional "boma" around a fire with our guide.

Every single part of our stay was 10/10 The game drives you are taken on are amazing - we saw the big 5 in the first 3 drives. Joshua, our ranger and Difference, our tracker were superb at their jobs; super relaxed and highly skilled at what they do. The food is out of this world! The staff are extremely nice and accommodating of any request but they are not too ‘in your face’ either - they allow you to make what ever you like of your stay. Elizabeth and Thambi and their team do such amazing work with fresh and local produce - every meal was an experience to remember! Jan is one of the waiters and bar men - he was so kind and friendly in his engagements with us, making us feel welcome and give us an insight into life in the area. He chatted freely about his life and asked about our lives. Getting to know him and the other staff was a real bonus of the trip. You come as a tourist and leave as a friend.

Stunning tents with tasteful interior and spectacular view right at the waterhole watching the hippos and wildlife. Delicious healthy food and a huge variety of drinks to choose from. Great courteous friendly staff and service. Incredible game drives with highly qualified Rangers.

It felt very private, with only a few villas in the camp. It was beautifully designed and decorated. All of the staff were friendly and helpful.
