Kariega Game Reserve – Ukhozi Lodge 

Experience the romance of Africa

A cosy, intimate lodge ideal for honeymooners.

Ukhozi Lodge captures the modern romance of safari. This former rustic lodge has recently been rebuilt with a stunning new rim-flow pool for gazing out to the valley from its half-moon edge. The lodge has the charm of a modern farmhouse with exposed wooden beams and stone walls, but has the inescapable feeling of being on safari thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the outdoors.

Cosy up on a sofa by the lounge fireplace after exhilarating game drives trying to spot the Big Five or take a trip to the new wellness centre for a rejuvenating massage. Or take advantage of Ukhozi Lodge's location close to the Kariega River and go on a river cruise.

With only ten luxury log suites, this intimate lodge is ideal for honeymooners. The main lodge area and its restaurant, bar, lounges, library and boma make it easy to mingle with your fellow guests, and yet privacy can also be easily found. Each suite has a private pool and a deck to drink in the panoramic views out across the valley.
