Escape to the wild heart of the Eastern Cape with a 4-day safari at the spectacular Kariega Game Reserve, a malaria-free wilderness where luxury meets authentic African adventure.
Whether you choose the secluded elegance of Settlers Drift, the warm charm of Ukhozi Lodge, the family-friendly Main Lodge, or the riverside tranquillity of River Lodge, each offers its own unique experience of the Kariega landscape.
Here, days begin with the cry of a fish eagle and end with the glow of lanterns beneath a vast African sky. With Blu-Pebbles Tours, your journey is seamless, from comfortable transfers to guided activities and lodge arrangements, so you can simply arrive, unwind, and let Africa work its magic.
Why Choose a Kariega Safari with Blu-Pebbles Tours
Day 1 – Arrival and First Encounters
Arrive at your chosen lodge and settle into your suite overlooking rolling hills, river valleys, or the open bush. After a warm Kariega welcome, embark on your first evening game drive. As the sun dips below the horizon, the reserve comes alive with nocturnal sounds — a perfect introduction to Africa’s wild rhythm. End the evening with a fine dinner and good company by the fire.
Day 2 – Big Five Adventures and River Serenity
Start your day with an early morning game drive, when wildlife is most active. Spot elephants, rhinos, lions, and graceful antelope against a backdrop of morning mist. After breakfast, enjoy leisure time — perhaps a river cruise down the Kariega or Bushman’s River, or simply relax at the pool. Your afternoon safari promises more breathtaking sightings, followed by sundowners and another exquisite lodge dinner.
Day 3 – Explore, Discover, and Reconnect
After a relaxed breakfast, explore the reserve on foot with a guided bush walk, learning about the smaller wonders of the veld — from medicinal plants to animal tracks. The afternoon is yours to unwind or book a spa treatment. As evening falls, join your ranger for a sunset drive, watching the sky transform into a canvas of orange and gold before a final night of fine dining under the stars.
Day 4 – Farewell to the Wild
Your final morning begins with a gentle sunrise drive, a last chance to savour the sights and sounds of the bush. After breakfast, say farewell to your hosts and set off with memories of an unforgettable Kariega safari — moments you’ll always remember.
