overview

Kariega River Lodge is a luxury thatched lodge situated on the banks of the Bushman's River in the Eastern Cape's Kariega Game Reserve. This private and relaxing lodge has spectacular views of the river and offers fine cuisine, superior comfort and a genuine safari experience in a malaria-free area.

Kariega is rich in wildlife and the lodge offers early morning and afternoon/early evening game drives plus river cruises with expert guides. It's Big 5 country and the reserve has a great bird list and plenty of other classic African mammals too. Kariega River Lodge also offers numerous walking trails, mountain bike game rides and canoeing safaris on the river, and it's just a 15-minute drive to the coast and Kenton-on-Sea where you can enjoy a horse ride on a white-sand beach.
