KITARA THE LAST WORLD
ABOUT
Set on the tranquil banks of the legendary Klaserie River, Last Word Kitara occupies one of the most exclusive and privileged locations in the Greater Kruger ecosystem — a true “soul safari” destination where wilderness, luxury, and solitude exist in perfect harmony.
Bordering the iconic Kruger National Park to the east with no fences separating the wilderness, this 5-star luxury lodge enjoys uninterrupted access to one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife corridors. Flowing directly through the heart of Big Five country, the Klaserie River draws elephants, predators, and plains game alike, creating an ever-changing theatre of wildlife right on your doorstep. Here, within the crown jewel of the exclusive Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, guests experience a safari defined by stillness, space, and authenticity — unhurried, untouched, and truly unrivalled.
At Last Word Kitara, exclusivity is not just a promise — it is a way of life. The lodge may be booked exclusively, offering guests the rare privilege of a completely private safari experience in the heart of the bush. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed not just as a guest, but as part of a close-knit wilderness family, where genuine hospitality and meaningful connection are at the core of every stay.
The lodge’s six spacious luxury suites are elegantly positioned along the riverbank, each offering sweeping views over the pristine wilderness. Though adjoining, the suites are thoughtfully designed to ensure privacy and seclusion, with interiors that reflect a timeless African aesthetic — understated, natural, and deeply calming.
Each suite features a generous 70m² (750 sq ft) layout, complete with an en-suite bathroom offering both indoor and outdoor showers, as well as a separate bathtub for indulgent relaxation. Private balconies open directly onto the river landscape, inviting guests to unwind with a gin and tonic while elephants and other wildlife pass quietly along the water’s edge — an everyday moment in this extraordinary setting.
The décor throughout blends classic safari elegance with soft, dreamy African accents, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature. As night falls, guests retreat into their private sanctuary, lulled to sleep by the hypnotic sounds of the African bush.
Beyond the suites, inviting shared spaces overlook the river, including an expansive viewing deck and a sparkling infinity pool that appears to merge with the wilderness beyond. Here, guests can relax and observe the ever-changing rhythms of the bush in complete tranquillity.
At the heart of Last Word Kitara lies a commitment not only to exceptional hospitality, but also to conservation and community upliftment. A portion of every stay supports meaningful local initiatives, helping to protect this remarkable landscape and empower surrounding communities — a story the team is always delighted to share.
More than a lodge, Last Word Kitara is an experience of pure connection — to nature, to place, and to something profoundly timeless.
