Kariega
Rare and unrivalled

The gradual growth and development of the 11,500-hectare protected area is one of the most accomplished conservation projects in the Eastern Cape.

Over time 23 farms have been knitted together into a richly biodiverse wilderness, incorporating five unique biomes and two tidal river estuaries. Many endemic and endangered wildlife species have been re-introduced, including white and black rhino, elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, buffalo and hippo.

Remaining true to these pioneering roots, we are committed to the sustainable conservation and protection of the Kariega wilderness.

We, the family owners of Kariega Game Reserve invite you to experience a unique perspective of the reserve and write your chapter into our conservation history.
