Safari on Foot Camp enjoys 13 000-hectares of traversing rights in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve in Greater Kruger Park.
Getting to Safari on Foot Camp is easy and adds to the adventure! The camp is about an hour's drive from Hoedspruit. If you’re flying in, Hoedspruit / Eastgate Airport is the closest option, just 40 minutes from camp.
You'll be greeted at the airport by your Africa on Foot host for the final stretch of your journey. This last drive takes you through a Big Five reserve, so keep your eyes peeled - you might spot some incredible wildlife before even reaching camp!
For those driving themselves, the route is straightforward and well-signposted. Just remember to follow the directions provided rather than relying on Google Maps coordinates to ensure you arrive smoothly.
