Overview & Capacity

Kariega is the rare EC reserve built for the conference as well as the safari - two air-conditioned conference centres and a breakaway room to 88, on a 6,000-hectare malaria-free Big-5 reserve where the Kariega River adds boat cruises to the team-building menu and Kenton's beaches sit minutes away. Five lodges spread a group comfortably, and the 4.8 rating across 3,000-plus reviews backs the experience. It's genuinely mid-size-capable, not just a lodge lounge. B&W books it for an incentive-plus-seminar where delegates want Big-5, a river and a beach in one 80-minute drive from the Bay.
