It is a great series to wet the appetite of any aspirant traveller or adventure seeker contemplating an African Safari, giving incredible detail and visual information on what each Game Reserve and Lodge has to offer. Settlers Drift Lodge at Kariega Game Reserve is the focus of episode 5.
Settlers Drift Is A Top Safari Lodge in the Eastern Cape
Settlers Drift is one of the top Safari lodges in the Eastern Cape of South African, located in a remote and untouched part of Kariega Game Reserve’s 10 000 hectare protected wilderness.
Settlers Drift offers a unique tented safari combined with 5-star luxury.
The lodge consists of 9 spacious tented suites, each with stunning views and secluded viewing decks.
The decor boasts under-stated elegance and luxury.
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.
The luxuriously appointed and perfectly positioned tented lodge delivers the ultimate guest experience.
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."
