Ultimate Bush Camp Safari Experience
Kariega Game Reserve offers guests unforgettable experiences with nature and wildlife. To add to this amazing safari experience, the Bush Camp offers guests an "under the African stars" camping adventure as an extra add-on to normal lodge bookings. Five rustic guest tents and a beautiful campsite are located in a remote, wild and pristine part of the reserve accommodating up to ten guests.
- Guests are provided with small day-packs to pack overnight necessities.
- Guests depart on normal afternoon game drive to arrive on the banks of the beautiful Bushman’s River to enjoy an incredibly scenic leisurely boat cruise into the amazing Bushman’s River valley wilderness area.
- Guests enjoy a wilderness walk among a diversity of game species and stunning surroundings.
- Arrive at the Bush Camp before sundown to enjoy a real bush and campfire meal and evening, overnighting in the wild in one of five guest tents.
- Depart in the early morning on a morning game drive in the remotest areas of the reserve and then back to the lodge in time to freshen up before breakfast/brunch.

Safari Tips
Don't forget your binoculars!
Bring cameras and video recorders to capture the stunning close-up sightings of lion, elephant and other wild game as well as dramatic African vistas.
You may want to go out on the exciting night drives to view nocturnal wildlife activity, so bring warm clothes (particularly in the colder months from May to September).
