Africa on Foot is an intimate hideaway situated in the heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve in the Greater Kruger. Famed for its guided walking safaris and informative game drives, Africa on Foot is a major drawcard for safari-goers seeking an unforgettable safari adventure in an exclusive Big 5 destination.

Guests can expect a convivial atmosphere in a comfortable camp boasting all the creature comforts from home. Camp life is simple and easygoing, where the focus is on connecting with others in wild spaces and indulging in a relaxed tempo of life. On site, there is a quaint bar that flows through to a shared dining area, and an outdoor boma section. On balmy summer days, guests can relax at their choice of two splash pools, each furnished with decking and sun loungers.

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.

Morning bush walks and evening game drives take place on the 13 000-hectare traverse, both led by professional guides and trackers. Game drives take place in lieu of walks if the weather is unpredictable; ensuring that there are always two activities per day.

Your Accommodation

Dubbed the pioneer of the Kruger walking safari, Africa on Foot rose to fame because of its combination safari experience. Since inception, the camp remains an iconic and intimate hideaway in the heart of the Big 5 Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. Both the general camp area and accommodation provide all of the creature comforts from home, maintaining a simple level of lodgings for relaxed safari-goers who don’t need the frills and spills of a high-end lodge. Africa on Foot is an eco-friendly lodge.

5 thatched chalets (2 of which are family chalets) joined by well-maintained pathways circle an intimate main area comprising a bar, seating area, dining section and boma. The main bar and chill out lounge area is built around an old tree trunk, giving it an authentic bushveld feel. There is a small splash pool on a raised wooden platform in the camp, which is regularly visited by elephants during the dry season. This pool is ideal for families because it’s close to the rooms. Set just outside the entrance to camp is a multi-level lofty treehouse that can be booked in conjunction with your stay - it’s ideal for romantic adventurers. Next to the treehouse is a second, more secluded swimming pool that is a favorite spot for sundowner sessions.

Dinner takes place around a long safari table sandwiched between the bar/lounge area and outdoor boma. On safari, guests can expect to dine together in a traditional safari style. In the centre of the boma area is a roaring fire that creates a warm and welcoming space for those moments between game drives.

Safari in Unique Ways

Walking Safaris

Africa on Foot is a unique camp offering professional guided walking safaris with qualified trail guides who have experience in approaching wildlife. Walking safaris are 2-3 hours and begin with a safety briefing about bushveld etiquette and how to behave when encountering wildlife. If there are unsuitable weather conditions, a game drive will take place instead of a morning walk.

Game Drives with Sundowners

In the evenings, guests are taken on game drive, which brings you a lot closer to big game. The night drives also allow guests the opportunity to see the nocturnal animals not encountered during the day. And as the sun goes down, we say, "Cheers!" with a cold one.

Special Occasions

The team at Africa on Foot can tailor-make a special occasion for guests, provided it's pre-arranged. The Honeymoon Sundowner Experience is R500 per couple, but it is a complimentary experience for honeymooners. There is also the Bush Bar experience and bush breakfasts upon request.
