Day to Day Itinerary

Days 1-3

Escape to Kariega's Wilderness

Fly into Port Elizabeth where you’ll collect your hire car before driving to the Kariega Family Lodge in the lush, unspoilt wilderness of the Kariega Game Reserve.

Explore this beautiful area on hikes, horseback rides, boat cruises, canoe trips and game drives. Relax along the banks of the river, try your hand at fly-fishing, or step out onto the golf course and play a round. And if you're in the mood for a bit of sand and surf, Kenton on Sea's golden beaches are less than 15 minutes away.

Kariega is ideally suited to families with young children. Special guided walks are offered to kids of all ages, allowing them to venture into the wilderness and get up close to some of the magnificent wildlife inhabiting the reserve. Upon departure from the park, they will be issued a 'Junior Rangers Certificate', making for a lovely reminder of their safari experience.

Days 4-7

Fun in the sun at Plettenberg Bay

Drive yourselves this morning to sunny Plettenberg Bay and check in at the Singing Kettle Lodge, a delightful seaside lodge in the charming village of Keurbooms.

The lodge's relaxed atmosphere and self-contained rooms make it ideal for a family getaway. Your room boasts a fully equipped kitchenette - perfect for preparing beach picnics. For those times when you’d prefer to dine out, you needn’t go far - Enrico's Restaurant is right downstairs. An enticing menu of pizza and seafood is offered, and meals are served on a huge deck with great views.

The Singing Kettle is the perfect base from which to explore the Plettenberg Bay area's animal parks, indigenous forests and pristine beaches.
