Game Drives

Guests are taken out twice daily in open safari vehicles, usually in the early morning and late afternoon, although times are dependent on the season and weather. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the African bush, while your skilled ranger provides hidden details and fascinating facts about the surrounding wildlife. Game drives are the center of the Kariega safari experience and guests will be thrilled by close-up encounters with the likes of lion, elephant and an abundance of other African wildlife.

River Cruises

An abundance of bird and animal life makes for exciting game viewing whilst enjoying the peace and tranquility of the dramatic river valley. During one of the morning game drives, guests at Main Lodge, Ukhozi Lodge and The Homestead can enjoy a majestic cruise down the Kariega river. At River Lodge, an optional daily boat cruise takes guests down the Bushmans river, through the quaint village of Kenton-on-Sea and to its picturesque beaches. Settlers Drift guests can also enjoy boat cruises on the Bushmans river.

Guided Bush Walks

Kariega offers guided bush walks with our experienced rangers. This provides our guests with the opportunity of walking amongst more than 25 species of game and abundant birdlife.

Canoeing

Take one the canoes for a leisurely paddle down either the Kariega or the Bushmans rivers and watch in blissful silence as the river birds and animals go about their daily business.

Fishing

Guests at all lodges can enjoy river fishing on either the Kariega or Bushmans rivers. River Lodge and Settlers Drift are perfectly situated for keen fisherman, where guests can fish in the Bushmans river from a boat or canoe.

“This was our second visit to Kariega, Settlers Drift a new 5 star accommodation that truly lives up to your expectations. Set high up looking over the Bushman river and the plains the location is just perfect to see the wildlife. The tented lodges are awesome, well designed with every amenity you could want. This fully inclusive package of high quality food, game drives twice a day, excellent customer service is something you have to experience once in your life you will not be disappointed!” –Edwards_2

“After a very warm welcome, we were shown the lodge and our suites. I don’t know who the interior decorator is but I do know I love the style and atmosphere that has been created here. The rooms were equally spacious and amazing. We had a fabulous game drive and I was surprised at how relaxed the animals were. The scenery and game viewing at Kariega Game Reserve simply exceed any other game reserve I’ve ever visited in South Africa. My fellow Irish travelers worded it as Garden of Eden which probably isn’t far off I guess, so I’ll leave it at that.”  –GreaterAddoJulia

“Absolutely loved our 3day experience in Kariega. Very impressed with our ranger Archie. He made our safari experience so interesting and exciting and was very knowledgable. Accommodation,service and food excellent.” –Golf98
