Klaserie Turns 45
This year marks the 45th year of operation of the Klaserie Private Game Reserve, a visionary association of conservation minded landowners and administrators. One of the largest chunks of privately owned wild land in South Africa, the reserve borders the Kruger National Park to the north and east and consists of some of the most pristine and rugged big game territory in the country. With its roots extending as far back as 1969, the Klaserie was proclaimed as a joint venture between a group of landowners determined to establish a larger and more diverse protected area. As the reserve expanded in size over the years, the original core area has grown to an impressive 60 000 hectares. It is within this historical this backdrop that Makumu, a proud and longstanding member of the association is situated.

A quarter of a century ago, in 1992, South African conservationists made a landmark decision to remove the boundary fence between the Klaserie (and other private game reserves) and the Kruger National Park. The reason: to allow free movement of animals between the two regions, and to ensure the ecological integrity of a larger proclaimed conservation area. Up until that point the Klaserie had been run as an individual entity as far as the land management was concerned, but once the fences came down, the entire enclave was incorporated within a larger and more effective ecological zone. It was a welcome decision and the Klaserie of today is now part of a vast protected area of over 2 million hectares! Makumu can be found there!
