Kariega Game Reserve is a Big 5 Game Reserve situated 141 kilometres from Port Elizabeth a very pleasant 1 1/4 hours drive and 10 minutes from the golden beaches at Kenton on Sea.

The Reserve covers more than 6,000 hectares and is sanctuary to abundant game and wildlife such as lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhino, hippo, giraffe, zebra, eland, wildebeest, waterbuck and a variety of antelope, as well as a myriad of bird species, including nesting Martial, Crowned and Fish Eagles.

One of the highlights of this reserve is that the predators are in an area separate to the accommodation. There are wonderful walks from the Kariega Lodges where you can get very close to the giraffes and wildebeest.

You will visit the Big 5 section of the reserve in a traditional open game viewing vehicle. All meals and 2 game drives per day are included in the package.
