Having a drink of water tends to be somewhat challenging when you are over 4m tall! In order to get to the water giraffe have to spread their front legs at awkward angles, leaving them in a rather vulnerable position to predators such as lion.

This week ranger Jone found a zebra carcass. She investigated the cause of death and from her findings surmised that the animal had died from injuries sustained in a fight with another zebra. She found numerous hoof and bite marks on the carcass.

Kariega Game Reserve is the perfect destination for a wholesome family holiday. The mild Eastern Cape winters make it a great escape for those looking for some outdoor family fun with wildlife, walks, fishing, river trips, mud, sticks and sunshine...

We were so pleased to receive lots of super images and a detailed review from German guests Petra and Frank after their visit to Kariega Game Reserve in May 2015. Thank you Petra and Frank and we are so glad that you enjoyed your safari and stay with us at Kariega Main Lodge.

The Kariega volunteers made a difference on Mandela Day by planting some trees at a nearby school.
