Kariega River Lodge is nestled along the banks of the Bushman's River in the private Kariega Game Reserve of the malaria-free Eastern Cape.
Staying in this peaceful riverside location allows you to unwind and relax, while also enjoying the thrilling experience of a big game safari.
The ten thatched suites all feature a spacious bedroom with king-size or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with shower, bathrobes, air conditioning, a heater, an in-room safe, a fan, tea and coffee-making facilities, satellite television, a minibar, and a private patio. Some suites even have their own swimming pool. If yours doesn’t, the main lodge pool with its tranquil river views is always available. A few of the suites overlook the river, while most enjoy views of the reserve's serene bushveld.
The lodge facilities include a comfortable lounge, dining area, outdoor boma, bar, library, spa, swimming pool, and a nearby gym.
Kariega River Lodge is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a luxury safari getaway.

De-Clutters the process!
When first looking at Safaris there was just an overload of choices. Dealt with Keith who was quick responding to all questions and getting things set up. Really took the pressure off the whole process.
