Beach trips are on offer for all River Lodge guests as part of their safari experience, Kariega is one of only a few Big 5 reserves in Africa where this is an option.

Valentine’s Day is a special day to celebrate love. It reminds us of how much we love hosting honeymoon couples at Kariega. Popular options for honeymooners are the spacious suites with private plunge pools at Ukhozi Lodge, the peaceful thatched riverside suites at River Lodge and the uber-romantic privacy of the tented suites at Settlers Drift.

We are delighted to share a few images of Thandi's one month old calf!

Nothing says African Safari more clearly than the evocative call of the African fish eagle. These majestic birds can be seen perched in the treetops along the banks of both the Kariega and Bushman’s rivers in Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape.

We are thrilled to share our latest pictures of our five star lodge. We have included comments that a recent guest posted on TripAdvisor. “The scenery and game viewing at Kariega Game Reserve simply exceed any other game reserve I've ever visited in South Africa."

Kariega ranger Jone Fick shares information about some of the birds you are likely to see at Kariega during the summer months.

Kariega volunteers started this year with a bang and have already done some great work on the reserve.

We were so pleased when the team from The Today Show, a daily morning talk show broadcast across the USA, contacted us to ask if they could feature Thandi and her calf on the show.

Over the past few months we have been blessed with the arrival of a number of elephant calves. We are always excited about the long-awaited birth of an elephant as their gestation period is nearly two years (680 days). This is the longest known gestational period of any animal.
