The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is a Big 5 reserve that shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park and neighbouring private reserves, leaving animals to roam freely throughout. The Klaserie is home to many lion prides and is known for its big cat dynamics. Guests can enjoy two daily game drives and optional bush walks. Game drives take place in open-topped modified Land Rovers, which handle the rugged terrain with ease. Guides conduct professional game drives together with their tracker, and spend time educating guests about wildlife and the reserve. Drives include sundowner and coffee stops, and bush breakfasts can also be arranged. A favourite of guests is the special drinks set-up in the midst of the untamed wilderness. Eager safari-goers can also join a memorable and moving rhino dehorning or anti-poaching helicopter flight, exclusive to those staying at Last Word Kitara.
