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 (5-star) is located in a remote and untouched part of the Kariega wilderness, offering a unique tented safari combined with 5-star luxury. Gazing down from the deck overlooking the Bushmans river drift, it feels as if time has stood still as the last feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820 Settlers as they guided their wagons across the river. The lodge consists of 9 spacious tented suites (each 110m²). This luxuriously appointed and perfectly positioned tented lodge delivers the ultimate guest experience, with unrivalled panoramic views over valley plains. No children under 10 years.
