Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge

The welcome at the entrance gate, through the reception check in, the staff in the bar and the restaurant, not to mention our experienced tour guide Matt (Jacques) were all fabulous and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food options were plentiful and tasty and the themed accommodation was more spacious and comfortable than I had hoped. The drives through the park had us so very close to the animals and each drive outdid the previous. I had high expectations of a South African safari and Kariega over delivered! A must for anyone.. utterly amazing!

Es war eine interessante Erfahrung, in diesem sehr gut geführten Private Game Reserve auf Safari zu gehen. Das Zimmer (die Suite), das gesamte Personal mit dem Ranger, alles war toll. Natürlich hatte dieses Erlebnis auch seinen Preis. Aber wir wollten uns das einmal gönnen. Unbedingt zu empfehlen.

Just returned from 2 wonderful nights at Kariega. Location, food, service and wildlife were all exemplary. A special thank you to our ranger Matt who is truly a cut above. I recommend you request him. He is outstanding!

Fantastisk safari och ett mycket bra boende i ett eget stort hus som var vackert beläget och hade stor terass. Ett extra plus för en egen liten pool !

Underbar safariupplevelse med toppen guide

Spent two nights at the main lodge. Had amazing four drives with unbelievable Rudi - our reserve guide. Rudi made the experience so much better, he had so much knowledge and info about the bush, he took care of every little detail, and was the nicest. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, impalas, ghanoo, zebras, girraffes and many more. The reserve is so green and powerfull, you definatly can feel the wild. The schedule is comfortable, food was nice, and the chalet was huge but still cousy. Go to Kariega and ask for Rudi! One little note to Kariega staff: we almost missed the first drive on 1530. Maybe you should send an email day or two before to let the guests know that first drives is on 1530 so that guests will check in on time.

Wunderschöne Bungalows mit Blick von der Terrasse in den Kariega -NP. Das Gelände ist sehr weitläufig, wir hatten 15 Minuten Fußweg bis zur Main Lodge zum Essen. Man kann sich aber ggfs. vom persönlichen Ranger abholen lassen.

Kariega är ett vackert naturområde. Utmärkt safari, vi fick se noshörningar, lejon, elefanter, giraffer, flodhästar, zebror mm. De hade jätteduktiga guider, bra service och god mat. Stugorna på main lodge var enkla. Skulle behöva renoveras.

Wish we could have stayed longer. What an awesome experience. The highlight being our exceptional guide (Bongani) whose knowledge of African wildlife was amazing.

The Main Lodge chalet had 2 bedrooms, (1 bathroom and 1 ensuite) with a central living room with wood burner, kitchen, and outdoor viewing patio deck. Comfortable beds and showers, all warm in showery weather and very clean. Breakfast,lunch and varied dinner buffets were scheduled around the 3 hour game drives with a ranger twice a day. There was a pool which we did not have time to see/use. Fantastic viewing of animals/birds/insects/plants with knowledgeable, friendly ranger.
