Untamed Wilderness, Authentic Safaris

​Located east of the town of Hoedspruit, Klaserie Game Reserve covers 600 square kilometres of gently undulating Lowveld acacia scrub, dissected by seasonal rivers, and is one of the largest privately owned reserves in South Africa. It shares the same entrance gate with Timbavati Game Reserve and only a road going east from the gate is separating the two.

Why Visit Klaserie Private Game Reserve?

A True Wilderness Experience

Since its inception in 1969, Klaserie has had a keen eye focused on keeping commercial and human impact in the reserve to a minimum. As a result, it is one of the most unspoilt reserves in the area. Limited visitor numbers allow for guests to spend more time at game-viewing spots observing the wildlife. It feels like a relatively pristine stretch of wilderness, with game-viewing close to the levels associated with more premium brand reserves. Klaserie is also known for its excellent walking safaris.

As well as the Big 5, Klaserie is home to endangered African wild dog, southern ground hornbill, and white-backed vulture. Visitors will spot hordes of plains game on the open veld while the Klaserie River is popular with hippos, elephants, rhino, and buffalo herds.
