Sustainable Travel

What are we doing?

At Klaserie Drift, we believe that your holiday shouldn't cost the Earth. As part of our mission to become an eco-friendly, sustainable lodge, we have committed to:

✓  A plastic reduction programme, including reusable water bottles, eco pens and removing single-use plastic items.

✓  Joining SA Tourism's Carbon-offsetting initiative to plant spekboom cuttings around camp, helping to reduce the carbon footprint from inbound flights to South Africa. 

✓  Using only the most energy-efficient globes, air-conditioning units and fridges 

✓  Recycling and composting our food waste

✓  Growing fresh, organic produce in our on-site greenhouse for use in the lodge restaurant

✓ In 2023, Klaserie Drift took on one of our most exciting projects yet - installing a system of solar panels that now generates enough energy for the entire lodge - no diesel, no generators and no load-shedding!

On-site, organic greenhouse

Our on-site greenhouse currently grows more than 20 different fruits, vegetables and herbs including: bananas, sweet potatoes, paw paw, bell peppers, spring onion, coriander, parsley, rocket and more!

What are the benefits of growing our own produce?

✓  Avoids unnecessary packaging, chemicals and transportation reducing plastic waste and carbon production

✓  Straight from ground to plate means every mouthful is extra fresh and packed with flavour and nutrition!

✓  Naturally pollinated to support the bee population
