Ukhozi Lodge

The Kariega Game Reserve is situated in the Eastern Cape, spanning over 10,000 hectares of malaria-free wilderness. Here, you'll experience close encounters with South Africa's famous Big 5, including spotting lions as they slink along the savannah plains stalking their prey, or witnessing herds of elephants congregating around precious water sources. Kariega invites you to fully immerse yourself in diverse African ecosystems, which you can explore on foot, in a game vehicle, or cruising along the river.

Ukhozi Lodge captures the romantic atmosphere and allure of the African wilderness with stylish suites nestled amidst thickets of bush, connecting you to the main lodge by stone walkways. The lodge blends seamlessly into the landscape with its stone and wood architecture while glass fittings preserve unobstructed views. Inhale the breathtaking vistas as you gather around the fire pit, with the soft chirp of cicadas and the rustle of nocturnal creatures traversing trees and navigating the bush.

The lodge is ideal for the discerning traveller seeking an intimate safari experience. It combines luxury suites with private plunge pools and immersive bush activities, such as hiking rocky outcrops or kayaking down a serene river. While the lodge accommodates families, children under 10 years old are not permitted.
