At Settlers Drift you are welcomed into a remote corner of the reserve, and your 110-square-metre tented suite, with its living area and private deck above the Bushman's River. After lunch, take a little time to settle in, then, if you arrive in time, head out on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle, toasting the sunset in the bush before dinner at the lodge.

Big Five Game Drives

Wake to coffee and set out on an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle across Kariega's valleys, plains and river frontage, when lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo are most active. Return for a generous breakfast, then let the midday unfold slowly: a swim in the pool, a book from the library, a spa treatment, or simply time on your deck above the river. After afternoon tea, an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle takes you out again until dusk, with sundowners in the bush, followed by dinner under the stars.

River Cruise & Bush Walk

After an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle and breakfast, swap the vehicle for the river with a gentle cruise, or join a guided bush walk to learn the smaller secrets of the bush. The middle of the day is for relaxing at the lodge, perhaps choosing a bottle from the wine cellar for dinner. In the late afternoon, set out on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle, with sundowners in the bush, then enjoy a farewell dinner at the boma or on the deck.

Morning Drive & Return to Port Elizabeth

Make the most of your last morning with an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle, while the bush is cool and the animals are on the move. Return to Settlers Drift for breakfast and a final moment on your deck above the Bushman's River, then your private driver collects you for the journey back to Port Elizabeth airport, about 1 hour 45 minutes, where your safari ends. You leave with the quiet of the Bushman's River valley still with you, and every reason to come back.
