The surging popularity of the luxury safari industry is turning attention towards new opportunities for low-density, high-value tourism in the Greater Kruger region as securing availability at renowned reserves such as the Sabi Sands becomes a challenge.
The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve one of the several reserves sharing an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park is experiencing increasing development of high-end lodges diversifying from a traditional focus on mid-market offerings and activities such as multi-day walking trails.
Over the past 10 years, the 65 000 hectare reserve has witnessed the opening of properties such as Last Word Kitara, Simbavati Waterside Lodge, Tulela Safari Lodge, Ximuwu, Klaserie Drift Misava and the ultra-luxury Kateka.
