Everything you're looking for in a short forest break. We had a very nice weekend at Kierieklapper. Japie and Dora took good care of us. The layout and amenities were perfect for our family weekend. We will definitely come again. Already thinking about a friends weekend.

Loved every minute! Absolutely incredible!
Incredibly positive experience! Would love to go there again. We've been to Dinokeng a few times, but our visit to Kierieklapper stands out head and shoulders as the best experience ever! Friendly and helpful staff, effort with game drives, facilities and attention to detail was unsurpassed.
Great! 10/10. What a wonderful setting for my mother's 80th birthday get together. Game drives were a great added bonus - cheetah, buffalo and lion all in 1 day! Very clean. Highly recommended! Will definitely visit again.
What an excellent place in nature! It was a wonderful weekend in the natural beauty. Safe and very convenient! Everything is in tip top condition and the bottle of wine was very nice around the campfire!
Lovely, well-kept, private camp. We had a lovely time with family - the ideal venue for a small reunion. Flip, Japie, and Dora were always happy to answer any questions and quick to help. The camp is ideal for a large group, even with kids. The pool, lawns, chalets, and everything else are well kept and maintained. The communal kitchen is a bit cramped, but there is a spacious pantry, and we spent most of the cooking time around the fire.

Feels like a 5 star lodge. Many thanks to Flip, Japie and Dora for an unforgettable weekend. We will definitely come back. The place was spacious, tidy and had everything you could think of. The 2 game drives were the highlight! We saw cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes and rhinos. Japie made an effort to show us all the big game. There is DSTV, so we could watch the goats win. The rooms have the most beautiful view, are spacious and are very private. The viewing deck overlooking the waterhole was fantastic with a cup of coffee. We can't thank you enough.
