Gazing down from the decks overlooking the Bushman’s River, it feels as if time has stood still since the last feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820 Settlers as they guided their wagons across the river.

What Do Guests Say About Settlers Drift?

Here is what some of our recent guests had to say about their Settlers Drift safari.

Beautiful, authentic game reserve

"We enjoyed a weekend of breathtaking beauty on Kariega, at Settlers' Drift. Our accommodation was simply exquisite, designed to make one feel part of nature. The reserve has hills and valleys and open plains - a sight to behold, with lush vegetation, and a river on which we had a cruise. Our guide was knowledgeable and took us to the most awesome wild sightings. Staff were attentive and friendly, food was very good."

Settlers Drift - Worth the Experience

"I had a wonderful time at Settlers Drift for my birthday weekend. Everything was amazing, from the staff to the food, to the game drive to the room. Kariega is truly truly worth it! I can’t wait to go again and stay longer next time."
