Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Light on the earth. Transient. Wild.
Field camp is a homecoming. Not a lodge. A tented experience. It’s a chance to meet the elements. And perhaps yourself. Track game on foot with specialist guides.
You’ll need less than you anticipate. And get more than you expect.
Your canvas tent will nestle in a gorgeous spot, far from any permanent structures. We’ll make up your beds with fine linens and layout plush rugs. We will hang oil lanterns. Prepare meals on the coals of your campfire. Keep you safe. And let nature do the rest.
Look out for shooting stars. Find nesting birds. Trail through sun-kissed grasslands. And know that anything can appear in camp at any time.
This temporary camp honors a wilder time. It’s romance. It’s simplicity. It’s spirit of adventure. You’ll remember that you are nature. And nature is home.

The Klaserie Private borders the Timbavati Game Reserve and Kruger National Park.
