Five-star opulence amid the pristine Kariega forest

Kariega Settlers Drift is situated in an unspoiled region of the Kariega wilderness, overlooking the winding Bushman’s River.  The lodge, enveloped by riverine forest, valley bushveld, and fynbos, offers discriminating travelers a secluded retreat that maintains a commitment to elegance.

 Situated in the Kariega Game Reserve, Settlers Drift serves as the optimal base for exploring the 10,000-hectare malaria-free region.  Bi-daily game excursions unveil encounters with the Big 5 – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo – in addition to 20 other species of wildlife observed traversing the savannah grasslands and acacia forests.  Embark on a boat trip along the Kariega River, observing its prolific avian population, or partake in a serene paddle along the Bushman’s River using one of Settler’s Drift’s kayaks.

The lodge’s Tented Suites feature an expansive bedroom and sitting area, a complete bathroom, both indoor and outdoor showers, and a separate viewing balcony that provides magnificent views of the valley.  Settler’s Drift has effortlessly integrated five-star opulence with the untamed beauty of Kariega.  The spa offers revitalization, while the restaurant, bar, and wine cellar will undoubtedly attract epicureans.
