Africa On Foot Camp - Greater Kruger National Park
Africa On Foot Camp offers a combination of walking safaris and game drives in one of Kruger National Park's best private game reserves. The Klaserie Game Reserve borders Kruger National Park which ensures an outstanding wildlife experience. Africa On Foot has only 5 chalets, this intimate environment makes Africa On Foot one of the few camps that offer an exclusive and affordable safari experience. For the more adventurous there is a treehouse which can be booked at no extra cost. On balmy summer days guests can relax at the splash pool and enjoy a traditional South African barbecue (braai) around the camp fire area in the boma.
Africa on Foot's location is in a prime wildlife area. The Greater Kruger is a collection of private, unfenced nature reserves situated on the western border of the Kruger National Park. All game moves freely throughout the region, but the reserves in the Greater Kruger are private meaning that the guests get an unbeatable safari experience.
Africa on Foot is about an hour’s drive from the town of Hoedspruit, which is the supply capital of the Greater Kruger. Eastgate airport is the local airport for the camps in the Klaserie, which is about a 40 minute drive from camp.

Sprawled across the camp there are 5 chalets built from brick and thatch, each furnished with rustic decor and simple colour accents inspired by the surrounding bushveld. Rooms have mosquito nets, showers, and standing fans. For the more adventurous, there is a treehouse which can be booked at an extra cost.
