Kariega Settlers Drift Pool
Gazing down from the decks overlooking the Bushman’s River, it feels as if time has stood still since the last feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820 Settlers.

Settlers Drift is een exclusieve 5-sterren lodge in het malaria-vrije Kariega Game Reserve; prachtig gelegen boven de Bushmans River.
De lodge telt slechts negen ruime tented suites die safari-sfeer combineren met hedendaagse luxe: een aparte zithoek met houtkachel, een elegante badkamer met vrijstaand bad en binnen- én buitendouche, airconditioning en een groot privéterras met weids uitzicht over het bushveld.
De centrale lodge beschikt over een panoramisch restaurant en bar, een infinity pool, meerdere terrassen en een sfeervolle boma voor diners onder de sterren.
Tijdens het verblijf zijn ochtend- en namiddag-game drives inbegrepen, met kans op het spotten van de Big Five, naast giraffen, zebra’s, antilopen en talrijke vogelsoorten. Ook bush walks en rivieractiviteiten behoren tot de mogelijkheden.
Wat deze lodge extra bijzonder maakt, is de aankomst: gasten worden aan de rand van het reservaat ontvangen en per boot over de rivier naar de lodge gebracht.
Deze rustige transfer over het water, omringd door ongerepte natuur, zet meteen de toon voor een unieke safari-ervaring.
The lodge consists of 9 Luxury tented suites (each 110m²) – offering opulent bedroom and living area, full bathroom, indoor/outdoor shower and private deck.
