Wir wollten eigentlich noch eine Flusstour auf dem Kariega machen aber als ich ihn gefragt habe hatte er nicht darauf reagiert. Am Abreisetag hatt er mir dann noch gesagt, dass er die Schlüssel fürs Schiff bereit hatte für den Vortag. Aber uns richtig informiert hatte er nicht. Er fuhr sehr ruppig und kannte keine Hindernisse. Sogar einen Termitenhügel überfuhr er einfach und den Elefanten fuhr er einfach in den Weg. Darum würde ich diese Lodge sicher nicht weiterempfehlen oder nochmals hinfahren. ##### Roger Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Die Unterkunft ist einfach nur atemberaubend.

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! ##### Beth ### 10/10 Excellent #### Piero 19 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ganz tolle Erfahrung in einem Private Game Reserve 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. ##### Piero Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gene, Toronto, Canada 26 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful location to see wildlife in the eastern Just returned from 2 wonderful nights at Kariega.

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. ##### Noa ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Safaris sind super 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. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Johan 11 Feb 2016 #### Bra safari 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. ##### Johan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceeded all expectations Wish we could have stayed longer.

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. ##### R ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 Nov 2014 Disliked: Staff & service #### Kariega Vi tillbringade två dagar på Kariega med två spännande safaris. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Oliver Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trond 5 Apr 2023 ##### Trond Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Kwandwe-Great-Fish-River-Lodge.h4685716.Hotel-Information) > > [Shamwari Sindile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paterson-Hotels-Shamwari-Sindile-All-Inclusive.h37387655.Hotel-Information) > > [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > > [Gorah Elephant Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addo-Hotels-Gorah-Elephant-Camp.h1717540.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [On the Beach Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jeffreys-Bay-Hotels-On-The-Beach-Guesthouse.h3864218.Hotel-Information) > > [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > > [Canal Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Francis-Bay-Hotels-Canal-Guest-House.h21973126.Hotel-Information) > > [Mdluli Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mdluli-Safari-Lodge.h38870272.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Rose Petals Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-London-Hotels-Rose-Petals-Guest-House.h11473134.Hotel-Information) > > [Thornycroft Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-London-Hotels-Thornycroft-Lodge.h3952933.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Elizabeth-Hotels-Pine-Lodge-Resort.h15958076.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiffindell Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Senqu-Hotels-Tiffindell-Ski-Resort.h31819646.Hotel-Information) > > [African Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-African-Safari-Lodge.h16636232.Hotel-Information) > > [Shamwari Long Lee Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paterson-Hotels-Shamwari-Long-Lee-Manor.h2379952.Hotel-Information) > > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [St Francis Golf Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Francis-Bay-Hotels-St-Francis-Golf-Lodge.h13305198.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Hills - Ilanga Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ikwezi-Hotels-Magic-Hills-Private-Collection.h56934963.Hotel-Information) > > [Misty Mountain Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Storms-River-Hotels-Misty-Mountain-Reserve.h12696923.Hotel-Information) ---
