The Klaserie Camps are part of an exclusive privately owned wildlife sanctuary, ‘The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve’, which in turn is part of the Greater Kruger National Park.

The reserve lies to the west of the Timbavati covering 60 000 ha on either side of the Klaserie River. The private nature of this wilderness sanctuary enables one to embrace the African bushveld in one's own time - to take in the sounds, sights and smells that make the bushveld such a unique experience.

The camps, Nzumba Camp, Katara Camp and Timbila Camp, are located in the north-western sector of the reserve, traversing 8000 hectares with extensive access to the Klaserie River.

Safaris within this untamed region of the Greater Kruger National Park focus on the bush and its ecosystems, with the added excitement of getting involved in the tracking of Africa’s big game. The rangers have taken great time to develop their safari to ensure that you come away with a better understanding of this very special environment.

The lounge with its leather chairs and memorabilia and dining room are evocative of the romantic colonial era.

KATARA CAMP
