Africa on Foot Camp | Klaserie Private Game Reserve
Africa on Foot offers professional Big Five walking safaris in the Kruger's Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. The focus is on an authentic safari experience where guests enjoy a combination of walking safaris in the mornings and game drives in the afternoons.
There are only 5 chalets, which means guests will enjoy an intimate, personalised safari experience. The more adventurous guests have the opportunity of sleeping under the stars in a treehouse structure at an extra cost. There are two family chalets available, each sleeping 4 people.
Evenings are spent around the campfire and there is often a traditional braai (barbecue) dining experience. The atmosphere at camp is relaxed and guests are made to feel like they are part of the Africa on Foot family. Two swimming pools adorn the property - one is located inside the camp, which is ideal for families. The other swimming pool is adjacent to the treehouse, a few steps outside of the entrance to camp.
The Klaserie shares unfenced borders with the Kruger, which means wildlife roams freely throughout the reserves.

Africa on Foot offers professional Big 5 walking safaris led by highly-qualified and trained field guides.
Walking safaris are done in the morning and take roughly 3 hours. The walks are not strenuous and take place on flat ground. Guests will learn how to track wildlife, read the signs of the bush and learn about the various plant species.
Walks depart at roughly 06h00 and it is always weather dependent. If it proves too risky then rangers will simply take guests out on a game drive instead.
There is nothing better than crouching down behind the shrubbery watching rhino and elephant enjoying their natural habitat.
Game drives are conducted every afternoon at Africa on Foot. All game drives take place in open 4 x 4 vehicles, which allows for 360 degree panoramic views, perfect for wonderful photographic and video opportunities.
The afternoon game drives generally leave at 16h00 (times vary according to seasons) and stop for sundowners at sunset before continuing into the night for a bit of nocturnal wildlife viewing and, finally, back to camp.
On the outskirts of camp we have a treehouse which is available upon request. You pay extra to stay in the treehouse, but it's well-worth the adventurous experience.
It sleeps a maximum of two guests. Guests can request a romantic dinner setup for two in the treehouse if they are spending the night there.
We have constructed a Bush Bar in the middle of a clearing, complete with a small boma area. The Bush Bar is often used for special events, celebratory sundowners and marked occasions. From gin tastings to Christmas canapés and proposals, the Bush Bar is the perfect place for proper bushveld sundowner session.
The team at Africa on Foot can tailor-make a special occasion for guests, provided it's pre-arranged. The Honeymoon Sundowner Experience is R500 for couples, but complimentary for honeymooners.
