A rustic safari lodge in the Kariega wilderness
Set in 10,000 hectares of African wilderness which includes the Kariega and Bushmans rivers, the Kariega Private Game Reserve offers the excitement of the Big Five and the benefit of being situated in a malaria-free region. Here you can enjoy game drives with experienced rangers as well as guided bush walks, river cruises, canoeing and visits to the nearby golden beaches of Kenton-on-Sea.
The Main Lodge's 24 air conditioned log chalets blend harmoniously into their forest environment and feature large private viewing decks with far-reaching views over the Kariega River Valley. Relax in the homely comfort of your lounge or your spacious and well-appointed bedroom. Alternatively take a refreshing dip in the enticing swimming pool; enjoy an invigorating treatment at the spa; or borrow a canoe and paddle down the tranquil river.
With plenty of communal areas, the lodge has a relaxed and sociable atmosphere and is an ideal base for couples, families and groups.
