SAFARI SPECIALS FOR SOUTH AFRICANS
50% discounted rates for South African residents
May to August 2026 (From R3300)
Inviting South African friends to enjoy the wonders of Kariega Game Reserve at affordable rates!
The Wild Eastern Cape is one of the most biodiverse and beautiful provinces in the world. It is well worth exploring for South Africans planning a road trip from Cape Town along the Garden Route; or accessible via a domestic flight to Port Elizabeth and a short 80 minute transfer into the wild interior and coastal region.
Against this backdrop a Kariega Safari is a truly magical experience and not to missed!
Kariega Game Reserve is a family-owned, Big 5 private game reserve set in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Spanning 12,000 hectares of pristine African bush with two majestic rivers, the extraordinary beauty and biodiversity of the reserve offer exceptional game viewing and birding, including the Big 5 – all from open safari vehicles with expert guides.
This malaria-free Eastern Cape game reserve offers five safari lodges, each designed to cater to diverse travel needs while delivering warm hospitality and immersive nature experiences.
Through the Kariega Foundation, there is a deep commitment to conservation and community advancement, working to protect wildlife, preserve natural ecosystems, and support local communities. Every guest plays a meaningful role in supporting this shared vision for a sustainable future.
