Overall service was fantastic, game hunts were a lot of fun with our very knowledgeable guide JJ. Food was lovely, didn’t have one bad meal! Such an amazing place and what a way to spend your honeymoon. Thank you!

Breakfast was good, lots to choose from.
I came to see the animals and I got to see everything I expected to see.
would have liked th lion to be more active, though not too active.
he was resting on one of the roads in the shade!
A 9-km boat ride along the Kariega River provides the only access to malaria-free Sibuya Game Reserve, set in the forest. It offers Big Five game drives, river cruises and tented accommodations.
The 3-star Mansfield Private Reserve is located in Port Alfred, a little drive out of town. Plains game, including giraffe and zebra, roam the Eastern Cape bushveld.
Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
We stayed in River Camp in the most beautiful tents. We adored our time there, the boat journey up the river is a wonderful start. Our game drives were fantastic and Nicolas' passion for his job and his enjoyment of working in nature was wonderful. It was the highlight of our children's holiday and they are still wearing their Sibuya hats! I'd highly recommend it for a family safari experience.
Loved most of the things about this place. nice place to unwind and appreciate the nature around you; beautiful bushlodge rooms with amazing views, the staff were very friendly, especially our guide, who went all out to make sure we saw all 4 of the BIG FIVE and loads of other animals. I also felt unwell and they provided a paracetamol for me which was a nice touch, The chef was very good with the variety of dishes provided throwing in South African classics like pap too.
I cannot praise the wonderful team of staff at Kareiga highly enough. Our safari guide Amber was absolutely wonderful, her attitude, enthusiasm and knowledge helped make our safari experience perfect. We saw far more animals than we ever expected, including the big 5, all healthy and roaming free in their natural habitat. The property, food and facilities are not luxury 5* but we did not go for this. We went for a safari and this 3-day experience exceeded expectations.
Lodge is excellently located on the river edge. The animal viewing was second to none. The ranger guide was extremely knowledgeable and obviously loving his job which was infectious.
Thank you for a most memorable stay, the unit was comfortable with beautiful views & close to amenities.
We had a great break & will definitely visit the lodge again, thanks so much to the hosts & Alan.
Fantastic game drives with plenty of opportunity to see the animals very close. Brilliant guide in Melissa. Large, spacious lodges overlooking the bush. Food was of exceptional quality.
We were on our honeymoon and staying at the lodge has been the absolute spotlight of our vacation, we can’t recommend Kariega more. From seeing the animals in their natural habitat, to the most beautiful sunsets, to relaxing pool sessions in between! Special thanks to the ranger Ben who was so knowledgable about the park and the wildlife.
food was excellent.safaris were excellent.no Wi-Fi in lodges which is a bit poor.lodge was too far to walk in heat.lodges were dated but satisfactory.bed very comfy.
