River Lodge
The 5,000 hectare Big 5 Kariega Game Reserve is situated in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, and River Lodge is located on the quiet, meandering Bushmans River.
Guests can enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives in open game viewing vehicles accompanied by experienced game rangers. The reserve is home to game and wildlife such as lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, hippo, giraffe, zebra, eland, wildebeest, waterbuck and a variety of antelope, as well as a myriad of bird species.
A host of activities are offered, including game drives, hiking trails amongst more than 25 species of game and wonderful birdlife on the non-dangerous section of the reserve, fishing, bird watching, canoeing, mountain biking, horse riding, and river cruises.
The golden beaches of Kenton-on-Sea are less than 15 minutes away.
The Bushmans River flows beneath the deck of the main restaurant, and the outdoor dining is a magnificent experience under the abundance of stars in the African night sky.
