The 4-star Kariega Main Lodge sits high on a ridge in the malaria-free Kariega Private Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape. This private game reserve is also a short drive from the coast, making it easy to combine with the sandy beaches and warm sea of the world-famous Garden Route.
Kariega Main Lodge boasts twenty-one wooden chalets built on raised wooden platforms to make the most of their spectacular views of the reserve. Whether you choose a one-bedroom or a four-bedroom chalet, each includes a double bed or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and shower, a hairdryer, an in-room safe, tea and coffee-making facilities, air conditioning, a sitting area, a fireplace (in most chalets), satellite television, and a private viewing deck. Some chalets even feature a small swimming pool.
The lodge facilities include a restaurant, an outdoor boma, a swimming pool, and a wellness center.
Kariega Game Reserve is the perfect setting for exciting safari vacations with an abundance of wildlife, including the Big Five—lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard. Other species that can be seen on the reserve include hippos, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, elands, kudus, waterbucks, various antelope species, and a myriad of bird species, including the nesting crowned eagle, martial eagle, and fish eagle.
Activities offered at the lodge include morning and afternoon open-vehicle game drives, river cruises, guided bush walks, and canoeing excursions. Since this is a private reserve, your guide is allowed to drive off-road, giving you up-close views of the reserve’s wildlife.
Kariega Main Lodge welcomes children of all ages and encourages them to enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with their parents. For children aged 5 years and under, it is at the discretion of the ranger and lodge manager whether they can be taken to sightings of the more dangerous animals. A "Kids on Safari" program is available for all young guests staying at the lodge.
Kariega Main Lodge also boasts a play area for kids, which includes a television, wildlife DVDs, books, toys, puzzles, coloring-in books, play-dough, games, a blackboard, and table tennis. Babysitting facilities are available on request.
Kariega Main Camp is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for an adventurous safari getaway.

Keith Chideme is fantastic!
If you’re looking for someone to help you plan the trip of a lifetime, look no further than Keith Chideme. Keith has been nothing short of extraordinary in helping me create a month-long dream trip to South Africa for myself and 11 family members. His patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process have been remarkable. Keith went above and beyond, engaging in countless conversations to make sure every detail of our six-destination itinerary was just right. He worked tirelessly to balance my budget with my desire for an unforgettable experience, finding deals and creative solutions that I would never have managed on my own. His dedication and expertise gave me complete confidence that this trip will be everything I’ve dreamed of and more. One of my favorite aspects of working with Keith was the personal touch he brought to every interaction. Whether through voice messages, phone calls, or texts, he was always patient, thorough, and thoughtful in explaining every aspect of the itinerary. I never once felt rushed or overlooked—he truly cared about making this trip perfect for us. I can’t imagine planning this trip without Keith. Knowing he has my back has been such a comfort, and I feel completely at ease knowing we are in such capable hands. My entire family is incredibly excited about this incredible adventure, and I know I’ll be contacting Keith for all my future travel plans. He is an absolute gem and a true professional. Thank you, Keith, for everything!
