Africa on Foot is located in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. The rustic-style camp features thatched chalet accommodation, a bar and a viewing deck with splash pool and sun loungers.

The chalets are equipped with a clothing rack, solar powered lamps, mosquito nets and en-suite bathroom with outdoor shower. Water at the camp is gas-heated. Absolutely everything about Africa on Foot is amazing. Staff are attentive, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. They truly make the the place what it is. Outstanding hospitality (best we have had). Facilities are clean and tastefully decorated. Food.. Just Wowwww! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat. The pools were beautifully located and clean. The rooms were spacious. The morning walks were such a treat. The guides are first class and work hard to show you as much as possible, whilst also giving you interesting information about then bush and its animals. The arvo/night drives were out of this world. We saw soooo much. Lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, antelopes, birds!! And much much more. This place is a must. Don't hesitate to book. We wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights.

Mount Sheba is located 30 minutes' drive from the historical town of Pilgrim's Rest. Surrounded by rain forest, the hotel offers a variety of leisure activities.

The thatched rooms are equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV, cosy fireplace, tea-and-coffee making facilities and a patio. All rooms have an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. The fireplace in the room was fantastic, and I appreciated that the beds had electric warmers under the sheets. The hike to the waterfalls was gorgeous and the dining room was fancy with a classic vibe. The steak was tender and absolutely delicious! Altogether a wonderful time.
