A little piece of paradise on the river!
A beautiful and memorable place to spend my last few days in South Africa. The Klaserie staff were helpful, knowledgeable and passionate, and did everything they could to make my week special and enjoyable. The room was immaculate, meal times delicious and every effort made to make sure I made the most of my stay - on our day trip to the Kruger National Park we saw countless elephant, an amazing array of birds of prey, leopard and even wild-dog - a moment I will never forget! At Klaserie itself the bird-life on the river is fantastic which suited me perfectly, and the zebra, impala, giraffe, warthog, wildebeest and waterbuck wandering freely so close to the lodge and rooms is something quite unique and very special! I loved being so close to the water and I think this really gives Klaserie 'the edge' on other lodges I have stayed at in Africa. For anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic safari experience in the greater Kruger area, I would highly recommend this beautiful little lodge.

Wonderful, lovely, quiet place with perfect safari-feeling in the middle of the bush!
The staff made it so easy for us to feel like being part of their family! Klaserie River Safari Lodge is relatively opened-up new, everybody in this place tries to put as much effort as possible to present the guests an once-in-a-lifetime-experience. We especially loved the bush walks, the spacious lodges and the pools with its chill-out area.
In the evening we had the possibility to have dinner as a big family, enjoyed good wine and a perfect food!
Thank you very much to everyone who made our stay so exceptional!

Amazing place and team
An amazing place, nestled in the bush and surrounded by dozens of animals (impalas, warthogs, wilderbeasts, zebras, giraffes, hippos...). The bungalows overlooking the river have a magical feel.
The cuisine is excellent and the team is great, always here to help and very friendly.
A true dream place.

An awesome, "good for the soul" experience!
My first experience at a safari lodge couldn't have been better! My daughter (13 yrs) and I spent 2 nights and 3 days (or part thereof) at Klaserie River Safari Lodge and it was an experience that will stay with me forever... We were treated to a very warm welcome of home made ginger beer and thereafter shown our beautifully decorated cottage alongside the Klaserie River. That evening a superb dinner braai at the boma under the clear night skies was beautifully prepared and efficiently served by Sygnet, Alma and Mumsie. The game viewing drive through the bush veld, despite not seeing the 'big game' was a treat as the smaller game of kudu, dyker, impala, giraffe, zebra, warthog and a variety of other birds and animals was pointed out to us. We saw leopard spoor and in the evening heard it grunting in bush veld some distance away. The drought has been a great challenge but the feeding program allowed us to see the zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and warthog upclose and personal. Home prepared meals are taken in a casual manner under the beautiful large lapa of the lodge, whilst watching the zebra and warthog cavorting around the bottom of the garden. There are many activities that one can become involved with, within the Hoedspruit vicinity but we chose to pay a visit to the Rehabilitation Centre and experienced petting a cheetah as well as handling and stroking, numerous birds of prey, that have been rescued from injury and are now in rehabilitation. We had an amusing guide who related the story of Stoffel, the famous Honey Badger - an extremely intelligent animal. Afterwards we went to 24*, enjoyed a wander around the little 'village' with the various clothing boutiques, vintage car and bike displays as well as the silk factory and spa. A wonderful lunch under the trees was enjoyed by all. Every activity is arranged and efficiently facilitated by the management of Klaserie River Safari Lodge. As with any establishment glitches arise and our lukewarm water in the cottage was quickly attended to and resolved. We were indeed treated like royalty and look forward to our return. With grateful thanks to all at Klaserie River Safari Lodge for making the occasion so special and for the outstanding and friendly service... You have done our country proud and have set the bench mark for our tourism. May you continue to be an ambassador for South Africa as you display our rich heritage to our tourists both foreign and local. It was indeed a stay the was 'good for the soul'!

An experience not be forgotten
Booking process was very easy and kept informed and map for directions was given. The chalet was excellent and comfortable with view of the river. Game drives were good with plenty wildlife to see. Food was great and the host very friendly and hospitable. A worthwhile experience.
Reception, Service, Accommodation, Cuisine and all facilities are first class ! Most pleasing !
The experience lived up to our expectations.
The family atmosphere is most appealing.
Viewing of various game and bird species from the comfort of the Lodge verandah and the Chalet decks is awesome.
The local game drive is both interesting and informative.

Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful time
Had a wonderful relaxing time surrounded by nature. Accommodation well appointed, clean and comfortable with all necessities provided and then some. Tours arranged by the lodge were well organized and informative. Owners personally involved with the day to day running of the lodge ensures a personal touch. Can't wait to go back.
