ROSS IN THE BUSH
Klaserie Private Nature Reserve
Kruger Park
South Africa

Introduction

The Ross farm is situated in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve bordering the Kruger National Park with no fences between the farm and the Kruger National Park, which means animals can roam freely and the Big Five are regularly seen on the farm.

Lodge Description

Accommodation in the bush consists of 5 rondavels/chalets each sleeping two people; and two square huts each sleeping four people. There is a swimming dam (not a pool) with a deck and roof made of sticks; a social area with a thatched roof and barbeque facility; an open boma (enclosure) made of sticks, where evenings around the campfire in the African bush become a reality. There is also a boma with a kitchen boasting deep freezers, fridge, and gas stove. Water for the open shower is heated in a donkey (drum). There is no electricity, so all equipment operates on gas.

Game Viewing & Activities

Klaserie is part of an exclusive, privately-owned wildlife sanctuary, The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, which in turn is part of the Greater Kruger National Park. The reserve lies to the west of the Timbavati covering 60 000 ha on either side of the Klaserie River. Kruger is hot and dry for most of the year. The bush is sparse but soon recovers, if and when summer rains arrive. Game wanders freely over vast areas and you are likely to see an abundance of wildlife of the African bush like Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard and many other Antelope. Activities include game drives, guided nature walks and guided safaris on foot. Late afternoon, after a light lunch, there is another game drive available. On returning to the camp the campfire is already burning, while lanterns create a true bush atmosphere. Dinner is prepared in the camp and enjoyed around the campfire.
