Discover the ultimate walking safari in South Africa at Africa on Foot Safari Lodge, nestled in the untamed wilderness of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the world-famous Greater Kruger National Park. With no fences separating Klaserie from Kruger, wildlife roams freely across the landscape—meaning that Big Five sightings are not only possible, but often up close and unforgettable.
What sets Africa on Foot apart is its focus on authentic walking safaris, expertly guided by professional trail guides and trackers with deep knowledge of the bush. Every morning begins with a 2-3 hour guided bush walk, where guests learn to read animal tracks, identify plant species, and observe wildlife in its natural environment—all from ground level. It’s a profound, sensory safari experience that brings you closer to nature than ever before.
If weather or wildlife activity prevents walking, open 4×4 game drives ensure you’ll never miss the action. Afternoon drives end with a spectacular sundowner stop—a time-honored safari tradition—offering panoramic views of the bush as the sun sets in fiery African hues.
Africa on Foot Safari Lodge is an intimate and eco-conscious safari camp, featuring only five rustic yet comfortable chalets and a unique treehouse platform for guests seeking a night under the stars. With limited guest numbers, the camp delivers a highly personalised and exclusive safari.
In between safari activities, unwind in the lounge, enjoy a refreshing dip in one of the two splash pools, or soak up the serenity of the bush from your private veranda. Evenings are best spent around the boma firepit, enjoying a traditional South African braai and sharing stories under the stars.
Whether you’re a first-time safari-goer or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, Africa on Foot offers one of the most immersive walking safari experiences in Greater Kruger, blending exceptional wildlife viewing with genuine connection to the land and its rhythms.

The result? Exceptional wildlife sightings in a tranquil, crowd-free environment.

Here are a few expert tips to help you get the most out of your stay:
Africa on Foot is one of the few lodges in South Africa that specialises in Big Five walking safaris. Morning walks are led by experienced, armed guides and trackers, offering fascinating insights into animal behaviour, spoor tracking, and the ecology of the bush. You’ll see and experience things you would miss from a vehicle—so be sure to pack comfortable hiking shoes, neutral clothing, and a sense of adventure.
Whether on foot or during afternoon game drives, the Klaserie Reserve is rich in biodiversity. From elusive leopards and endangered African wild dogs to over 300 species of birds, there’s always something to spot. A pair of high-quality binoculars and a wildlife journal will enhance your experience and help you remember the smaller, yet equally magical, moments.
The lodge offers limited connectivity, which makes it the perfect place to unplug and truly immerse yourself in nature. Spend your downtime relaxing in a hammock, enjoying a midday siesta in your thatched chalet, or socialising around the communal campfire under the stars.
For the ultimate bush experience, book a night in Africa on Foot’s unique treehouse, a safe and secure open-air platform in the heart of the wilderness. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fall asleep to the sounds of the African night—lions roaring, hyenas calling, and the wind rustling through the trees.
Light, breathable clothing in earth tones is recommended. Don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and warm layers for early mornings and cool evenings. Walking safaris require practical gear—sturdy shoes, a daypack, and a water bottle are essential.
Africa on Foot is committed to sustainable and responsible tourism. The lodge runs off solar power, uses eco-friendly practices, and supports local conservation and community upliftment initiatives. Choosing to stay here means supporting a low-impact safari model that benefits both wildlife and people.
