Settlers Drift is a 5-star luxury tented lodge located in the Big 5 malaria-free Kariega Game Reserve. The lodge consists of 9 spacious tented suites, each with stunning views and secluded viewing decks. The experience includes all meals, drinks, twice daily safari drives, river trips and guided walks. The modern and luxurious lodge has spacious decks, a pool, boma, shop, library and spa.
My wife and I decided to go on a safari in celebration of her birthday and decided upon Kariega Settlers Drift as we had previously stayed at Kariega before, at both Main Lodge and Ukhozi, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The tented suites were extremely spacious, clean and comfortable, with a king size bed, large en-suite bathroom with an indoor/outdoor shower, relaxing lounge area, as well as a private deck with magnificent views overlooking the Bushman’s River. The bathrobes and slippers, and fully stocked complimentary minibar were also very convenient and enjoyable. The main lodge has an appealing dining area, bar, wine cellar, library/reading room, and large outdoor decks overlooking the bushveld plains and Bushman’s River. There is also an impressive swimming pool area with splendid views. All the staff were extremely attentive, efficient and friendly, and went out of their way to ensure that at all times we were well looked after. The food was superb, particularly the deserts including the melktert and lemon dessert, and our specific dietary needs were well catered for. The indoor and outdoor log fires added to the pleasurable dining ambiance. A real treat and surprise was that for my wife’s birthday, we received a bottle of sparkling wine on arrival, and a special private dinner was also arranged for us with another bottle of sparkling wine, which was lovely and greatly appreciated. Our ranger Monde was professional and knowledgeable. During our stay we were fortunate that we only shared our game vehicle with one other couple, which was nice and a real bonus. The heated blankets that were provided on the game drives were very useful. We had fantastic sightings and saw plenty of game, including, elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, jackal, warthog, mongoose and genet. We also saw lots of antelope, including, eland, kudu, nyala, waterbuck, impala, bushbuck and blesbuck. The bird viewing was also very good, including, secretary bird, spotted eagle owl and buzzard eagle. The river cruise on the Bushman’s River was also very pleasant. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a superb safari experience at Settlers and definitely hope to be back.
