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.

nThambo Tree Camp | Klaserie Private Game Reserve
nThambo Tree Camp is located in the heart of the Klaserie Private Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with the Kruger Park. There are 5 solar-powered wooden chalets on stilts with endless views across the wilderness.
Chalets are constructed from canvas walls and thatched roofs, and each one has a private wooden balcony. Guests have access to a small splash pool at the main lodge area, which is ideal for the hot summer months.
Big Five walking safaris can be arranged for after breakfast, and there is flexibility in terms of guests' desires. nThambo Tree Camp is ideal for guests seeking an intimate safari in a relaxed environment. Food is simply traditional home cooking and often guests are treated to a braai (barbeque) in the boma.
The camp is unfenced, which means wildlife roams freely throughout. Elephants often drink from the swimming pool, which is a highlight for many guests!

One of the main features of a safari is a 4x4 game drive. On game drives you are able to get a lot closer to big game than on a self-drive safari, as you are guided by experienced rangers and in appropriate vehicles. The animals are generally habituated to the vehicle. This enables to you to get within five to 10 metres of the large animals - and safely!
All game drives are conducted in open 4 x 4 Toyota Land Cruisers; which are perfect for photographic and video opportunities. The afternoon game drives generally leave at 16:00 and include late afternoon game spotting, a sundowner stop and a game drive that continues into the night.
The team at nThambo are flexible when it comes to guests's needs and will go out of their way to ensure a special occassion is celebrated. Bush dinners and breakfasts are often arranged over the festive season, upon request or if there is a group of friends travelling together.
If this is something you would like us to arrange, please request this beforehand.
Our standard morning procedure is to take guests out on a game drive but if guests are interested we can arrange a bush walk after breakfast.
All Walking Safaris are led by qualified rangers who have had intensive specialised training in approaching dangerous game and we demonstrate how to behave when encountering animals. In addition to allowing you to view the larger mammals on foot, rangers will impart valuable knowledge about the surrounding vegetation.
A bush walk will allow you to track animals on foot and learn what types of tracks various species leave when traversing the bush. Bush walks are a great way to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Africa.
