absolutely amazing experience
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!

Amazing experience
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.

Comfortable lodge chalet and stunning wildlife
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.
