beautiful boutique home. stunning views. great food, lovely staff, very knowledgeable ranger, comfortable room: Simply perfect. great for couples for a 2-4 day stay. it’s a bit far from nearest facilities (>1 hr drive) but in return you get amazing views up till the horizon where you don’t see anything manmade: Truly unique

The manager, in all her friendliness, can be a bit too dominant and overwhelming at times. it’s a thin line between ‘elegant’ and ‘too much’ but at this level you expect this to be understood naturally. we were, for example, made to feel that our voluntary tip for the team at the end was not enough. In appreciation for the hospitality we gave > €150. it’s the only remark we have as for the rest all was amazing! maybe one small tip: add mosquito doors to the sliding doors in the room to allow for the sounds, smells and breeze to come into the room, but to keep insects out.

My wife and I stayed 5 nights. It surpassed my expectations in all aspects of our stay. The game drives are amazing. The private nature preserve experience, while a bit expensive, turned out to be a good value. This preserve is adjacent to the park and the wildlife has unfettered access to both. The level of intimacy in the wildlife viewing just cannot be appreciated until you experience it. I do not think you could get this in a simple excursion into Krueger Park itself where you are limited to the public roads. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The food, accommodations, and service were all excellent. One afternoon the elephants dug up the water lines from the well. The staff worked thru the night to restore service by morning. Even this added to the adventure.

There was really nothing I disliked about this stay.

staff really friendly and facilities are okay but not what is expected for the price

it took a long time to arrive to the property and the directions were not clear especially if you are driving there you should expect an additional hour to get to the lodge. we didn’t like the fact that they required payment before arrival even if in booking it wasn’t required. the lunch was really light and the choice is quite limited for an all inclusive stay. the way that they push for tip at the end of the trip wasn’t right either as it’s already quite costly. the pool seem to be really small if all guests are there. the shower had not enough pressure and the temperature is not stable.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Klaseri Drift for two nights and my experience was exceptionally good. The camp is situated in a beautiful natural setting that is surrounded by animals, making it a truly immersive and memorable experience. The number of rooms in the camp is small, which provides a private and peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing. Additionally, the camp features a viewpoint with a pool, which offers a fantastic opportunity to see animals while enjoying a refreshing swim. During our stay, between the game drives, we observed a group of giraffes hanging about in the area, which was an amazing experience. The service at Klaseri Drift was simply the best we have ever experienced. The staff were extremely attentive to our every need and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I would like to give a special mention to Brenda, who was particularly helpful in assisting us with our stay and also helped us to plan our next days of adventure in the KNP. The game drives were an absolute highlight of our trip. We were fortunate enough to see a variety of animals, including a leopard, lions, giraffes, and elephants, among others. Our guide, Kuotso, was incredibly knowledgeable and also a lot of fun, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend Klaseri Drift to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience. The combination of a beautiful natural setting, excellent service, and unforgettable game drives make it a must-visit destination for any wildlife enthusiast.

It was a bit hard to find our way to the camp. It's about 20-30 min drive from the reserve gate to the camp, provided you know the way. There are a few turns that you need to take. At the junctions there are wayfinding signs, but most of them don't have the Klaseri Drift on them, instead they have their old name, Misava. Because of that, it took us longer than anticipated to reach the camp and we missed lunch and 1 game drive. The staff were kind to us and suggested to give us a ride to join the game drive, but we were tired from the drive and accepted an offer for a late lunch instead, which was most appreciated.

Game drives: Kutsho our guide was exceptional. Always in a good mood, always having some interesting facts to tell us about the nature surrounding us and he went to great lengths to make it possible for us to see the animals. He also provided us with rain ponchos on the colder and rainy drives we had. The coffee breaks and sun downer drinks in the bush are unforgettable. Food: The food we were served was exceptional. Staff: Our butler David always ensured that we had what we needed and wished for and was very attentive. Overall the staff was very warm and welcoming. Location: The lodgel is on a little hill looking over the Misava River where we could spot several times elephants, girafes and antilopes. Room/Cleanliness: Our room was very clean with working AC for the hot days.

All credit to the staff including the Ranger/Guide (Wess) for going out of their way to create a memorable experience. The lodge is serene, extremely well kept and loaded with warm smiles and care. The rooms are spacious..the food and bar arrangements are spot on. Too many things to rave about Klaserie but, then it will need a dedicated blog

The bar can be stocked up a bit more..and a standard menu for food might help (over and above the customisations)

We loved the small boutique approach to everything. There weren’t loads of other people staying so we felt looked after in every way. The river room was just superb. Huge. And overlooking the river bed below. The staff were amazing. Our personalised guide, Matt, was such a great guy, and guide, who was passionate about everything to do with sharing the best safari experience possible. Thoroughly recommend.

- Amazing room and view from the pool - World class food - all personal are exceptional (Don‘t forget to generously tip in the end as they well deserve it) - 2x safari drives were amazing (saw all big 5) - Everything was just perfect Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience

- Nothing

The views from the property were beautiful, the food excellent, and our room absolutely dreamy. Our guide Matt was knowledgeable, funny, and did a great job including us in the search for various animals. The rest of the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming and thoughtful. We came for our honeymoon so some of the special touches like a private dinner were much appreciated.

everything - staff were great, food was wonderful and our game drives were outstanding
