Whilst visiting the Kariega Main Lodge you will be able to enjoy twice-daily game drives from the comfort of an open-roof safari vehicle.
Game Viewing
Game drives are season and weather dependent but generally take place in the early morning and late afternoon. They allow for close-up sightings of lion, elephant and a wealth other wildlife and bird species. The game rangers provide wonderful insight regarding the behaviour of the wildlife, with the game drives forming the focal point of your experience at the upmarket safari lodge in the Kariega Game Reserve.
In the predator-free Eastern section of the reserve you are able to walk safely amongst more than 25 species of game as well as a large variety of birdlife on an array of well-marked hiking trails. A guided game walk is a favourite amongst fitness enthusiasts and provides you with superb photographic opportunities.
During an early-morning game drive, you will be able to enjoy a magnificent cruise aboard the ‘Kariega Queen’ down the Kariega River. You can bring along your own fishing equipment if you would like to test the waters of the river more intimately.
