Kariega blogger and local conservationist, Bart Logie, has just released his seventh book, 'Boots in the Baviaans' to appear on shelves today, 21 October. It is the latest in a series of Eastern Cape Travel books, and like its predecessors it is a mixture of history, natural history and fascinating stories. It also records a 200km walk through the Eastern Cape's spectacular world heritage site - The Cape Floral Region.

Congratulations to great ranger and photographer Brendon Jennings, who had two of his images taken at Kariega Game Reserve appear in the UK newspaper, the Daily Telegraph. The images also appeared on the Daily Mail website.

Nestled in the quiet and untouched bushveld of the Eastern Cape, Kariega Game Reserve is the perfect destination for romantic honeymoon and wedding safaris.

If you're coming to Kariega Game Reserve on safari and would like to know more about rhino poaching and rhino conservation, our rangers are all knowledgeable on the topic and are happy to help with any questions you may have. You can also head down to the Curio Shop at Main Lodge for a range of rhino merchandise on sale with proceeds to rhino conservation.
