Kariega River Lodge sits in a beautiful location, on the banks of the Bushmans River.
On the outside wooden deck of its main building…
…you can enjoy fantastic views over the tranquil river,…
…while having open-air meals.
Inside the main building there is a lounge on the ground floor…
…and a mezzanine with a little book shelf...
…and some armchairs to one side of the lounge,…
…as well as a computer with internet access to the other side.
Downstairs, you'll find a comfortably furnished sitting area facing a big fireplace.
Outside, there's a large common pool with sun loungers beside it.
From the main areas, gravelled paths lead to…
…the ten large thatched suites at Kariega River Lodge.
Each one is beautifully designed, with a spacious bedroom…
…and an en-suite bathroom, which is fitted with twin wash basins,…
...a separate little toilet…
…an egg-shaped stone bath with exposed copper pipes...
…and an indoor shower.
Some chalets have views of the bush and game areas, while others overlook the river.
In terms of activities, 4WD safaris can either take you into…
…the western part of the reserve, where there are elephant and lion resident, or…
…into the east of Kariega, which hosts mainly smaller wildlife and plenty of antelope.
Water-based activities are also possible, e.g. kayaking, canoeing…
…or boat trips to the beaches of Kenton-on-Sea.
