At Klaserie Drift, we’re always looking for ways to create a smoother, safer, and more sustainable safari experience - for both our guests and our team. One of the ways we’ve done this is by becoming a completely cash-free lodge. So, what does that mean, and why did we make the change?
WHERE WILDERNESS WHISPERS ITS MOST INTIMATE STORIES
Two lodges comprising 17 exclusive suites, sharing thousands of hectares of untamed South African wilderness
In the heart of Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, we’ve crafted a different kind of luxury.
Where solar power illuminates intimate moments, and sustainability meets sophistication in every detail.
Our sanctuary offers more than just Big Five encounters.
Here, among ancient trees and along the flowing Klaserie River, each stay writes its own story of conservation. From your personal reusable water bottle to our native Spekboom gardens, every choice reflects our commitment to preserving this pristine wilderness.

An incredible place to have our first African safari experience! Wild dog pups, elephant, rhino, hippo, lionesses, giraffe, zebra, hyena and impala all in one day - what an incredible experience! Vusi's food and smile 10/10, Molly and Grace's pampering 10/10 and all the staff just lovely - thank you!
