Family owned and operated, Kariega stretches across 12,000 hectares of pristine African wilderness in the picturesque Kariega and Bushmans River Valleys. Twice-daily, join a skilled ranger for close up game viewing of the Big Five along with a multitude of other wildlife, a stunning array of fauna, flora and abundant birdlife. Guests also have the option to join a guided bush walk for the chance to stroll amongst more than 25 species of game and birds. River cruises are also on offer, or you can take one of the canoes for a leisurely paddle and watch in blissful silence as the river birds and animals go about their daily business. Four unique lodges, differing in price and luxury, combined with excellent facilities and breathtaking vistas over the hills, valleys and rivers below, ensures Kariega Game Reserve is the perfect destination for a spectacular wildlife experience. The Kariega Foundation Save the Rhino fund is dedicated to rehabilitating rhino along with various anti-poaching initiatives to help protect these endangered species. River Lodge is one-of-a-kind and offers the most discerning of guests luxurious peace and tranquillity. Inside the lodge guests can find a quiet spot in one of the lounges, page through a book in the library, relax at the pool or take in the view from the magnificent deck which overhangs the Bushmans River.
