The Plettenberg

Family owned and operated, Kariega stretches across 10,000 hectares of pristine African wilderness in the picturesque Kariega and Bushmans River Valleys. Each day, join a skilled ranger for close up game viewing of the Big Five as well as 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 down the rivers 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. Main Lodge offers families, friends and couples a relaxed and friendly environment to enjoy the African bush. The lodge has been expertly integrated with the surrounding bush to create a natural environment where guests can enjoy traditional meals in the restaurant or boma, a drink at the bar or a swim in the pool.
