Make your way to Kariega Settlers Drift to arrive by 1:00 PM. You will be met at the jetty from where you will start your boat transfer up the Bushmans River by boat, followed by a short road transfer to the lodge. Settle-in, freshen up and have lunch before joining your first shared afternoon game drive.
If you can't make it to the jetty for 1pm, a road transfer all the way to the lodge can be organised, too.
We can assist with a rental car if you are planning a more extensive journey, possibly along the Garden Route. Alternatively, we can arrange transfers from and back to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
Afternoon
Shared afternoon game drive
The morning activity starts at sunrise. You will be woken up before sunrise for tea and coffee before it starts. Then you are off for 2-3 hours to find as many animals as possible before they all find trees to hide under in the heat of the day.
When you return to the lodge, you will be served a cooked breakfast and have time to relax. You can sit by the pool, read a book, take a nap and just absorb being out in the bush.
The afternoon activity, will start around 16:00, after high tea. It will last for +2-3 hours, with a stop somewhere for sundowners. You will return to the lodge in the dark, with a spotlight to look for nocturnal animals.
Included activities from Settlers Drift are:
- Morning and afternoon game drive
- Boat cruises
- Bush walks
- Canoening
Shared morning and afternoon safari activities
After your last shared morning activity and breakfast, it is time to depart Kariega Private Game Reserve.
We will be happy to help with any add-on travel arrangements within Africa, including the Garden Route, Cape Town and Victoria Falls.
