The rooms have large, comfortable double or twin beds, mosquito netting, fans and air conditioners. The en-suite bathrooms come equipped with both a shower and a bathtub. Families or small groups can book the thatched Tseni Suite which has two en-suite bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge and a private boma. The Tseni Suite also comes with a private safari vehicle and guide.
Xanatseni's main lodge
At Xanatseni's main lodge, there are a number of open-plan lounges guests can choose from to relax in. There is also a well-stocked bar area that has a flatscreen TV, a fully-equipped gym, an outdoor swimming pool and a shaded patio area where guests can enjoy the views of the surrounding savanna from the comfort of their sunloungers. At night, there's an outdoor, open-air boma with a fire pit where guests can gather for pre-dinner drinks and the waterhole-facing lookout tower offers a great vantage point from which the wildlife that gathers to drink can be observed.
Game viewing in open safari vehicles
Game drives at Xanatseni Private Camp take place in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve twice a day; in the early morning and late afternoon/evening. Home to the Big 5 (rhino, elephant, lion, buffalo and leopard) and other general game such as various antelope species, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hippos and warthog, game viewing in Klaserie is an intimate and unhurried experience. Because the vegetation varies from typical Acacia savanna and riverine bushveld to Mopane woodland, it's also a great birdwatching destination.

5 Day Kruger Park and Private Lodge Safari
A guided safari in Kruger Park (using the national park camps) is quite different to a safari at a private game lodge. Both have their advantages. This trip idea combines two nights in Kruger, followed by two nights at a private game lodge for you to experience the best of both worlds. All game drives in open vehicles with expert and knowledgeable guides.
Klaserie Game Reserve
The Klaserie Game Reserve is a privately run game reserve that forms part of the Greater Kruger Park. You'll find a variety of safari lodges here, ranging from rustic bush camps and walking trails to luxury game lodges. Klaserie offers a tranquil, private and unhurried safari experience. Guest numbers are low and the lodges are small and intimate.
