Our Story
The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve was established in 1969 and officially proclaimed a nature reserve in 1972. In 1994 the fences came down between the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, the Kruger National Park and its associated Reserves. The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve comprises 60 000 hectares of diverse topography and forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park. It attracts a vast variety of fauna and flora including the big five.
Formally known as Angela’s, Misava Safari Camp is one of the original and oldest camps in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. It was originally purchased in 1936 by Edwin Crookes and renamed after his daughter, Angela. In 1997 it was purchased by the current owner and transformed into a self catered camp for local guests. Finally, in 2019, Misava underwent massive renovations to become the intimate, luxurious camp it is today.

Making The Bush Our Home
“After making our way to the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve in 2015 from the rushed and busy city life in Gauteng, Dawie, our 2 young children, Matthew and Mila, and I feel privileged to have been given the responsibility to manage and call this piece of heaven Our Home.
Having owned and managed our own businesses and taken on the corporate world, we find the stillness and tranquility of life in the bush indescribably peaceful.
Having grown the Klaserie Drift brand from its inception in 2016 to what it is today, we are incredibly proud of everyone involved in the journey. Every day holds new surprises and challenges for us as we grow, from the interesting new people we meet from all over the world to the fantastic and positive team that we are fortunate to work with.
Our piece of Africa has so much to offer and so much to teach, we are happy to just be a part of it all and, best of all, to share its magic.”
Talitha and Dawie
