Introduction

Kariega Ukhozi Lodge is a small luxurious and vibrant safari destination with modern African style decor surrounding. The lodge sits high on a hill overlooking the Kariega Game Reserve with her rolling hills and valleys.

Ukhozi Lodge is aimed more at couples travelling together than at families who are looking for more of an intimate environment surround by luxury.

Ukhozi is a short 5-minute drive from Main Lodge where one can be wholly immersed in the beauty of the Kariega Game Reserve and the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

Reserve Information

10 000 hectares, "Big 5" and "Malaria Free", this is the Kariega Game Reserve. Located in the Eastern Cape, Kariega's landscape and topography are arguably the most beautiful of all the Eastern Cape game reserves, resulting in stunning views and vistas not forgetting the fantastic wildlife and birdlife on show.

Guests can expect to be enthralled with the sightings of lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, leopard, hippo, hyena, giraffe, zebra, eland, kudu, wildebeest, waterbuck and a variety of antelope, as well as a myriad of bird species, including nesting fish, martial and crowned eagles.

Rooms and Suites

ten luxurious log chalets each with a private plunge pool and viewing deck offering fantastic views out and over the Kariega Reserve and into the distance.

Each suite enjoys a spacious en-suite bathroom (with both bath and shower) and is fully air-conditioned.

Cuisine and Wine

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are all served in the central dining area or outside on the viewing deck, either way, both offer stunning views.

All meals are of a good to excellent standard, and a good variety of dishes is on offer over the course of a few nights stay.

Facilities

A large open-plan lounge/dining area is where one can relax, read a book or just chat with other guests; a sizeable rustic brick fireplace is the centre of attraction for those chilly winter evenings.

The outside deck at the main lodge offers up a telescope and armchairs, the perfect place to sit back and take in all that surrounds.

A swimming pool is on offer and is just about our favourite spot at Ukhozi, nothing quite like relaxing on one of the loungers and taking in the bird calls.
