The ultimate "Bush and Beach" experience!

This malaria free "Big 5" private game reserve is set in the stunning Eastern Cape of South Africa (approx 600 kms from Cape Town). Kariega is an extraordinary and exciting conservation project, at the forefront of numerous species re-introductions and conservation drives. The 12,000 acre reserve, bordered by the picturesque Kariega and Bushman’s rivers, contains a variety of habitat types and the unique landscape sustains a wide range of African game including lion, elephant, rhino, giraffe and zebra.

At Kariega, volunteers will not only be involved hands-on in conservation management at the reserve, but also get the opportunity to explore South Africa's amazing coastline. Kariega is a mere 16 km from the sea... the beautiful Indian Ocean is literally on your doorstep! This coastline has particularly rich marine fauna and flora as well as endless sand dunes and beautiful beaches.
