The Last Word Kitara is perfectly positioned along a picturesque stretch of the Klaserie River, offering a tranquil and scenic backdrop to your safari experience. Set within the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park, the lodge provides access to one of South Africa’s most iconic conservation areas—without the crowds.
As part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem, the reserve is home to thriving populations of lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo, as well as cheetah, African wild dog, and countless antelope and bird species. With no fences separating Klaserie from Kruger, wildlife roams freely, allowing for authentic, high-quality game viewing in a more private and exclusive setting.
The lodge’s secluded location ensures that guests experience the true spirit of the bush, far from mass tourism. Game drives often traverse vast, untouched landscapes without encountering other vehicles, giving you a deeply immersive and uninterrupted connection to nature.
Whether you’re listening to hippos grunting in the river at night or watching elephants wade through the water by day, the riverfront setting delivers a front-row seat to nature’s daily drama. Kitara is a haven for honeymooners, couples, photographers, and anyone seeking serenity and wild beauty in a luxurious, intimate setting.
With only six elegant suites accommodating a maximum of twelve guests, The Last Word Kitara offers an exceptionally private and personalised safari experience. This low guest-to-staff ratio ensures highly attentive service and the feeling of having the wild all to yourself.
Each suite is a thoughtfully designed haven of comfort and style, blending classic Victorian charm with modern safari luxury. Air-conditioned for year-round comfort, the suites feature spacious en-suite bathrooms complete with deep soaking bathtubs, indoor and outdoor showers, and luxurious amenities designed for indulgence and relaxation.
Enjoy your morning coffee or evening sundowner from your private riverside patio, where you might catch sight of elephants crossing the river or hear the distant roar of lions at dusk. Each suite also includes:
A fully stocked minibar with premium local and international beverages
Tea and coffee-making facilities for those peaceful moments between game drives
Elegant finishes, soft linens, and textured fabrics that reflect the natural palette of the Klaserie landscape
Travel Tip: The lodge is ideal for couples or small groups wanting an exclusive-use safari experience. Booking the entire camp is a popular option for milestone celebrations, honeymoons, or multi-generational family trips.
Photography Tip: Don’t forget your long lens—Kitara’s riverside location offers unique photographic opportunities from the comfort of your suite, especially in the early morning and late afternoon when wildlife activity peaks.
