Established on land that saw lion and elephant exterminated by the mid-nineteenth century, Kariega Game Reserve has reintroduced Big Five species across 12,000 hectares of Eastern Cape bush since 1989. Main Lodge sits within the reserve fourteen kilometres inland from Kenton-on-Sea, eighty minutes by road from Port Elizabeth. The reserve lies between the Kariega and Bushmans river valleys, both bordered by water on the eastern and western edges.
Twenty-four log chalets occupy the hillside above the Kariega River valley. Each chalet holds a lounge, a viewing deck, and bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and king-size beds that convert to twins. Some chalets include private plunge pools. The main lodge area contains a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, and boma. A circular walking trail, the Blue Duiker Trail, runs through indigenous forest and open ridgeline for forty-five minutes to an hour, marked with environmental education signs.
Game drives depart twice daily in open vehicles with qualified rangers. River cruises, guided bush walks, fishing, and canoeing run from the lodge. The reserve supports lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, zebra, and antelope across plains and thicket. Children of all ages are welcome; a daily programme runs from approximately eleven in the morning to two in the afternoon. Meals are served buffet-style in the restaurant or boma. You can hear the African fish eagle from the deck.
