At Kateka, located within the heart of Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, we are deeply committed to preserving the natural beauty, biodiversity, and cultural heritage of our surroundings. As custodians of this extraordinary ecosystem, we recognize our responsibility to protect the land, wildlife, and communities that make this reserve so wild and free.
We actively support wildlife conservation through sustainable tourism practices and direct contributions to local conservation initiatives. We work closely with reserve authorities and research organizations to monitor and protect endangered species, combat poaching, supporting the reserves K9 dog unit and restore natural habitats.
We strive to minimize our environmental footprint through energy-efficient infrastructure, solar power integration, water-saving systems, and a commitment to limited single-use plastics. Waste or rubbish collection at the lodge is managed by certified third-party companies to ensure environmentally responsible disposal and compliance with local regulations.
We believe conservation and sustainability go hand-in-hand with community empowerment. We employ locally, support regional businesses, and invest in education and skills training programs. By fostering strong relationships with nearby communities, we ensure that the benefits of tourism contribute directly to local development.
