Kariega Settlers Drift

Settlers Drift is a unique 5-star tented experience in a remote area of the pristine Kariega Game Reserve; a photographer's paradise! 

The luxury lodge consists of 9 spacious tented suites, approximately 110sqm in size, with each offering magnificent views of the Bushman's River from the secluded viewing decks. Each suite boasts an opulent bedroom with king-size bed (twin or double) and living area with a wood burning stove, full bathroom with double vanity, indoor/outdoor shower, air-conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities and a mini bar.

The lodge facilities include a restaurant, bar, wine cellar, spacious decks, pool, boma, curio shop, library and spa treatments.

Activities offered at the lodge include morning and afternoon game drives, river cruises, guided bush walks, fishing, and canoeing.

Kariega Game Reserve is the perfect setting for exciting safari holidays, with abundant game and spectacular viewing. Apart from lion and elephant, the game reserve is home to the other three members of the Big 5 - rhino, buffalo, and leopard. Other species abound such as hippo, hyena, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, eland, kudu, waterbuck and a variety of other antelope, as well as a myriad of bird species including the nesting crowned eagle, martial and fish eagles.

On safari drives, you will explore many different habitats highlighting five different ecosystems - valley bushveld, savannah grasslands, fynbos, riverine forests, and acacia woodland. The awe-inspiring African landscape will captivate your senses and the trees, grasses, and plants of the Eastern Cape will divulge their secrets.
