After three flights and two bus rides we finally made it to Kariega Game Reserve. On the way in we saw just a glimpse of what we would experience over our few days here, as animals ran across the hills and swam in a near by watering hole.
We had a fantastic welcome from the staff here at Kariega, they helped unload all of our luggage from the bus and dropped them off at our rooms are we went to the restaurant for a few nibbles and an introduction to the reserve.
The restaurant was beautiful, very open and relaxing, and to top it off an amazing view. The snacks went down well with the group and many people tried some South African delicacies.
Lodge and Fire Place
The chalets themselves were possibly even more amazing. Wood cabins with high ceilings, TV’s and three bathrooms, housed 6 per chalet. Some lucky people even had a pool.
Once the remaining people arrived we all ate dinner together – even if it was after 10 o’clock. The meal was a delicious buffet which was thoroughly enjoyed by all especially after eating all that plane food.
Then it was off to bed before an early start on game drives to see what animals we could find.
