Located on a big 5 malaria free private reserve, Kariega River Lodge is an affordable safari option in the Eastern Cape. While there is good game here, the reserve in not in any way offering a truly wild safari experience.

River Lodge is situated on the banks of the Bushman’s river and offers 10 spacious, air conditioned and tastefully appointed thatched suites.

Inside the lodge guests can find a quiet spot in one of the lounges, page through a book in the library, relax at the pool or take in the magnificent views from the deck overhanging the river. Special activities include daily boat trips to the Kenton beaches and excellent river fishing.
Kariega Game Reserve is an internationally renowned malaria free “Big 5” private game reserve situated near Port Elizabeth, thus forming a natural extension to Cape Town and the Garden Route. Family owned and managed, it would be accurate to say that the gradual growth and development of the now expansive 10,000 hectare reserve is one of the most accomplished conservation projects in the Eastern Cape to date.
Kariega’s landscape spans across 5 different eco systems, resulting in extremely high game carrying capacities which results in Kariega’s game viewing and birding experience being exceptional. Having 2 major rivers incorporated into the reserve (the Kariega and Bushmans rivers) adds enormous beauty and value. In addition to unforgettable game drives, guests can also enjoy a diversity of other activities, such as guided bush walks, river cruises, canoeing and fishing.
