It stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River which is crossed along the N2 coastal highway over the Paul Sauer Bridge in the extreme western reach of the neighbouring Eastern Cape.

Rhino Run 2016 Kenton-on-Sea
The Rhino Run has just completed it’s 5th consecutive race in support of rhino conservation and awareness. It was inspired by the story of our very own Thandi and Themba – two Rhino that survived a brutal poaching at Kariega in 2012. Themba succumbed to his injuries 24 days after the attack, but Thandi survived, and even though her horn will never grow back she is now the mother of a thriving female calf Thembi.
Kariega entered a team into the Kenton-On-Sea race. The team, headed up by our very own videographer and field guide Jone, looked particularly stylish in the matching outfits and team motto, “Small acts when done by many can transform the world.”
We were amazed that our girl Jo and her team managed to look so good, while running and videoing the race, giving all of us who could not make the event the chance to feel part of the fun. I for one am inspired to enter the Rhino Run 2017!
Situated in the Eastern Cape, South Africa Kariega spans across 10,000 hectares of pristine wilderness, and is home to the famous Big 5, as well as zebra, giraffe, hippo, multiple species of antelope and an abundance of birdlife. Kariega is a family-owned and operated private game reserve, giving it a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Set on African plains with magnificent hills and dramatic river valleys this wilderness area combines spectacular and dramatic vistas with an abundance of African game and wildlife. Stay in one of the five lodges and enjoy a variety of land and water-based activities.
