Kariega Game Reserve is a renowned malaria-free “Big 5” private game reserve near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Family owned and managed has resulted in the gradual growth and development of the now expansive 10,000 hectare reserve. Located in a remote and untouched part of the Kariega wilderness, Settlers Drift offers a unique tented safari combined with 5-star luxury. Gazing down from the deck overlooking the Bushman’s river drift, it feels as if time has stood still since the last feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820 Settlers as they guided their wagons across the river. The lodge consists of 9 spacious tented suites, offering opulent bedroom and living area, full bathroom, indoor/outdoor shower and private deck. This luxuriously appointed and perfectly positioned tented lodge delivers the ultimate guest experience, with unrivaled panoramic views over valley plains. The lodge is incredibly generous and includes a restaurant, bar, lounges, library/lounge with satellite TV, wine cellar, spacious decks, outdoor fire-pit, curio shop, rim-flow pool, boma and a sala for spa treatments.
In addition to unforgettable game drives, guests can also enjoy a diversity of other activities, such as guided bush walks, river cruises, canoeing and fishing.
