Traverse 14 500ha of Klaserie Private Nature Reserve on morning and evening game drives, under the care of our experienced, passionate guides and trackers. Encounter iconic African wildlife in their pristine natural habitat, from breeding herds of elephants to a sounder of warthogs and their piglets, and all fascinating creatures in between. The Klaserie is renowned for excellent birding; delight in the sound of an African fish eagle calling over the Klaserie River, Saddle-billed storks strutting around the waterholes and vultures keeping watch from the tallest trees.

Explore the Klaserie on foot, under the guidance of our experienced and knowledgeable guides. An immersive, unhurried experience; walk quietly along a well-trodden game path, count the toes of a leopard and memorise the shape of its tracks. Crush wild sage between your fingers, take in the scent of the earth dug up in the night by an aardvark. Let your primal senses come alive, listening out for the breaking of branches, the thudding of hooves, the flap of wings. Appreciate small wonders up close; a feather in the dust, a clutch of eggs, a spider’s web glinting gold in the sunlight.

After an exciting morning of safari activities, find refuge from the warm midday sun in the Wellness Centre. Cool off in the spa pool, and indulge in a luxurious treatment in the capable hands of our wellness team. Start your day as the birds awaken and the sun rises over the bush, with calming rooftop yoga, or an active session in our state-of-the-art F45 gym.

Delight in a delectable menu served in a variety of dining spaces at Kateka. Enjoy sundowners out in the bush, on the raised deck with expansive views of the northern Drakensberg escarpment, or from the poolside deck. Savour expertly prepared cuisine, from plant-based meals to locally-inspired dishes in the dining room, or light lunches served outside. Dine al fresco, while wildlife visits the waterhole for an evening drink or experience our private wine cellar, the perfect spot for a cosy meal on a cold Lowveld evening.

Take to the skies on a chartered flight with Mpumalanga Helicopter Company. Depart Kateka and admire the citrus and game farms from an eagle’s point of view. Ease through the magnificent, lush Blyde River Canyon, the largest green canyon on earth. Enjoy outstanding photographic opportunities over the canyon, where waterfalls cascade over the rocks and the Blyde River carves a dramatic winding channel through the canyon.
