Simbavati Camp George

Klaserie

From $850 per person/night
A well-established, luxury camp set in pretty gardens within a private Kruger reserve.

Set in the heart of the Klaserie, one of the largest privately-owned reserves in South Africa, Camp George couldn't be more in the centre of the action. Led by highly-experienced guides who know the landscape like their own backyard, game drives and bush walks will take you closer than ever to the Kruger wildlife - and even when you're in camp, there's a strong chance of an elephant wandering along the pathways! The camp has stayed true to its founder and namesake, George Huysamer, weaving together art, nature and heritage in one sublime package. Still in the family today, you'll feel well and truly taken care of, especially in one of the dapper suites, beautifully positioned along the dry riverbed.

Klaserie

5 Rooms
|
From $220 per person/night
A private, home-like retreat in the heart of the untamed wilderness.
This exclusive-use lodge offers a bespoke and wonderfully private safari experience well suited for families or groups with a penchant for luxury.

nThambo Tree Camp

Klaserie

5 Rooms
|
From $450 per person/night
Make your treehouse dreams come true at this tranquil, pared-back camp.

If you've ever dreamed of sleeping in a treehouse surrounded by wild Africa, nThambo delivers on that fantasy without the premium price tag. Set on the open plains of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve – one of the largest private reserves bordering Kruger – this unfenced camp puts you genuinely in the bush rather than observing it from a distance. The five chalets are raised on stilts among the trees, with the Drakensberg mountains shimmering on the horizon. It's simple rather than slick, and the experience is more rustic than refined, but for those happy to trade marble bathrooms for elephants drinking from the splash pool at breakfast, it offers something that fancier lodges can't replicate.

The Last Word Kitara

Klaserie

6 Rooms
|
From $1K per person/night
A pleasant & home-like lodge in a private sector of the Kruger's Klaserie Reserve.
Once the private bush home of a mining magnate, Kitara has retained its warm, traditional looks with a good splash of Last Word flair. There are just six other properties in the vicinity, all private homes themselves, which have granted Kitara permission to explore a total of 7,000 hectares by foot or LandCruiser – you'll likely have most sightings to yourselves. The lodge sits in a lush forest overlooking the Klaserie River and there are plenty of shady spots from which to watch elephant ambling by and hippos wallowing in the water, preferably with a fynbos-scented G&T in hand.

Simbavati Waterside

Klaserie

8 Rooms
|
From $1.1K per person/night
A splendid, family-friendly lodge beside a popular waterhole in a private Kruger reserve.
Sitting within one of the largest private reserves in South Africa, Simbavati Waterside certainly knows how to provide a truly exclusive safari experience. As its name suggests, the lodge is built right beside a large dam in the Klaserie Nature Reserve, where animals of every size and genus arrive to quench their thirst. From one of the many lounging spots, watch as elephant, big cats and herds of buffalo (sometimes reaching their hundreds) gather on the banks. The expectations only become higher on game drives, and on every one, you'll have a tracker to ensure you don't miss a thing. Oh, and there's only two vehicles allowed at any sighting.

Baobab Ridge Private Lodge

Klaserie

From $680 per person/night
A down-to-earth lodge with excellent safari chops in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve.
Set in a lush, green segment of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, it is these very surroundings that have inspired much of Baobab Ridge's design. Throughout the lodge, the outdoors are consistently invited inside, while decor is an homage to Africa's culture and crafts including Zanzibari doors that hide peaceful nooks here and there. At the front, there is a permanent waterhole with a near-constant parade of wildlife - a reminder to always have your binoculars on hand. And that's just a taster for the incredible safaris on offer in this Kruger-adjacent reserve, which happen day and night, by 4x4 and on foot.

Kateka Safari and Wellness

Klaserie

6 Rooms
|
From $2.2K per person/night
The word Kateka means “be blessed” in Tsonga, one of the languages spoken in this northern eastern region of South Africa. This perfectly embodies the visceral reaction elicited by time spent at Kateka, it is truly a blessing. Time spent at Kateka will have you breathing out and tuning in to the ways of the wild.

Feel the thrill of a sighting, the discovery of a hiding spot, the satisfaction of spending time with wildlife in pristine natural habitat.
