Kariega Settlers Drift

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. Settlers Drift is located in a remote and untouched part of the Kariega wilderness to offer a unique tented safari wth 5-star luxury. Gazing down from the decks overlooking the Bushmans River, it feels as if time has stood still since the last feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820 settlers as they guided their wagons across the river. The luxuriously appointed and perfectly positioned lodge delivers the ultimate guest experience.
