Overnight at Kariega Big Five Private Game Reserve

The Kariega Private Game Reserve counts among the most beautiful private reserves in the malaria-free Eastern Cape. Indeed, some 11,500 hectares hold rolling hills, open savannah, dense bush and the broad river landscapes of the Bushman’s River. Moreover, that mix is what sets Kariega apart.

Big Five on Land and Water

What makes this reserve special is the combination of a classic Big Five safari with genuinely varied country. Game drives cross open plains but also follow the river, where hippo and a rich birdlife are found. Boat trips on the water offer a different angle on the same wilderness. Above all, an overnight stay means both an evening and an early morning drive, which is when the reserve is at its best.
