Caroline LJust returned from 4 night stay at River Lodge and our first visit to South Africa. River Lodge is fairly small max 20 people so intimate and friendly, setting next to the river is lovely with decking to sit out on and lovely log fires in the lounge at night. Had rhino suite, nothing like waking up to look out over the bush and see giraffe on your doorstep.

Pack for a Purpose
We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an international initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination. Pack for a Purpose assists us to communicate our list of needs for our conservation and community projects.
If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and bring supplies for those in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of local children, elderly, families, domestic animals and wildlife.
We have a full list of the requirements on the Pack for a Purpose website. These include food, stationery, clothing, first aid, kitchen, sport and office supplies. Every item donated by Kariega guests is hugely appreciated.
