    An outstanding experience.
    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.

    Special Experience
    Beautiful place in an amazing location overlooking a big part of the reserve, I could see more than 30 elephants from the swimming pool. Game drives were great, luxurious rooms and personal service.
    Nothing really. It takes some effort to get there but the remoteness is part of the magic

    Fantastic, luxurious, personalised experience. Highly recommend.
    We loved the small boutique approach to everything. There werent 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.

    I have been to few lodges and I have something to compare with. I had an impression that Klasserie makes an effort to be
    We had very special trip and we were looking forward to have wonderful time at Klasserie. I had followed the lodge on social media and had an impression that it will be a good choice among similar lodges. However when I left the lodge after 2 days I had feeling that my experience was rather mediocre then pleasant. The facilities were good. spacious rooms, dining deck with views over open bush field and wildlife around were positive moments of our stay.
    What I let my experience down the most was safari vehicle without sun roof and the guide, who would stop under the blazing sun for 5 minutes without any wildlife around to have a chat about nature. No doubt his word were interesting but not worth standing in day heat directly under the sun. Another disappointment was the food. I would like to worn vegetarian guest that they likely to be given cheap vegetarian substitute for meat to eat. As well as cheap bread thats usually served at wimpy or spur. Also snack thats included to the price are very limited and poor choice.

    Absolutely incredible, perfect break..even the Big 5 sightings felt hand crafted. All in all, Klaserie Drift lives up to
    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)

    Our stay and safari was truly magical!
    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.

    A lifetime experience
    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.

    A wonderful, exotic adventure.
    Exceptional experience - unbelievable being so close to the animals! Accommodations beautiful, magnificent location, though remote location provided with luxurious services. Was expensive but you get what your pay for - deserved the "treat"!
    Was the best! Absolutely nothing to complain about.
