Wake to the sounds of the bush and as the sky begins to lighten, you’ll head out on an early morning game drive, the prime time for spotting predators on the move and plains game grazing in the cool dawn air.

After the drive, there’s time to freshen up and pack before check‑out. You’ll then be met for your road transfer to the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger, where your next safari chapter awaits. Spend two unforgettable nights at Baobab Ridge Lodge, an intimate, owner‑run lodge set in a private concession within the Klaserie.

Enjoy twice‑daily game drives in open 4×4 vehicles with experienced guides and trackers, complemented by guided bush walks. Your stay includes all meals, from hearty breakfasts and light lunches to delicious three‑course dinners served in the dining area or around the fire in the open‑air boma under the stars, as well as classic African sundowner stops on the afternoon game drive with drinks and snacks in a beautiful bush setting.
