The programme

What is life like in a South African nature reserve that is committed to protecting at-risk species and recycling rainwater?
You'll find out for yourself at the Kariega River Lodge, where a suite equipped with all amenities awaits you, within a protected park spanning 10000 hectares of wild savanna.
The grassy plains and the African plateau between the Kariega and Bushmans rivers, which you can admire from your private terrace, will awake something dormant in you, but crossing them together with local rangers to photograph the 'big five' * lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo and leopards * is pure excitement.
You'll do it at dawn and dusk, when the air is cooler and the riverbanks are bustling with giraffes, hippos, antelopes, zebras, lynx, baboons and many birds species, including the African fish eagle.
Everything is surprising, intense. Including the dinners featuring traditional dishes such as “braai”, grilled meat, accompanied by typical songs: a shared ritual that unites and creates bonds.
Before leaving for the savannah you will enjoy a visit to the beautiful Cape of Good Hope peninsula
