The Last Word Kitara
The Last Word Kitara is a luxurious safari experience situated in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve bordering the Kruger National Park. The camp is tucked away on the banks on the Klaserie River, providing a sanctuary in the wilderness. Perfect for armchair game viewing, you can relax on the deck or in the pool and witness animals in their natural habitat.
The camp offers only 6 suites, ensuring an exclusive experience for each guest. Each suite is spacious and equipped with every modern amenity one could need on safari. All suites have an en-suite bathroom with bath and outdoor shower. Mealtimes are in a variety of locations whether at the main lodge beneath an 800-year old Jackalberry tree, picnicking out in the African bushveld or, in the adjacent characterful boma beneath a star-studded night sky. The chefs delight in creating memorable dining experiences.
Special offer: Book for 4 nights or more at Last Word Kitara and receive 2 free nights at The Last Word Constantia. This offer is valid until 19 December 2025. Terms and conditions apply.
