Our stay at Settlers Drift was nothing short of extraordinary, made even more special as we were celebrating our marriage. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of our experience was perfectly tailored to our needs. The staff was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. We were touched by their thoughtful gesture of arranging a private dinner for two, making our celebration even more intimate and memorable. A special mention goes to our guide, Richard, who truly went above and beyond on each game drive. His deep knowledge of the area, passion for wildlife, and keen eye made every outing one we will never forget. Richard’s dedication to making sure we had the best possible experience was evident in every moment. Settlers Drift is a gem in the Kariega Game Reserve, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

Just came back from the most incredible four days at Settlers drift. We spent a long time searching for the perfect location for our first safari and this passed our hopes and expectations. I can't remember the last time I was genuinely blown away by a holiday like this. The rooms were huge and wonderfully comfortable, we loved being able to view the animals from the terrace and swimming pool. I thought maybe you'd see the occasional antelope but every time we looked there were dozens of animals to sit back relax and watch, ostriches, giraffes, zebras etc. Then there was the drives, Michael was a fantastic expert and we saw big cats on every drive along with a huge variety of other animals. Each drive was different as you explore a different part of the park. Food was excellent, two breakfasts are served (one before and one after your morning drive) and dinners were of the highest quality. All the staff were incredible, with small surprises throughout the trip to make everything feel particularly magical. The massages at the spa was high quality and very decently priced. Thank you to everyone at settlers drift for the most memorable time.

What a fantastic place to stay. I travelled with my Daughter and friends early April. Thank you to all the staff and especially Wayne who has so much knowledge of the animals. He made sure we saw the big 5. Also loved the boat trip up the Bushman’s River with sunset drinks. Thanks again to everyone who made our stay fabulous.’ Valerie Dawson. (Australia)

Exceptional hotel - room, staff, food, service, views, safari and happy place to be. Thank you for an amazing stay! This was our first safari and we would highly recommend the reserve to anyone :) thanks to our guide Richard who was so fun, knowledgeable and looked after us on the drives and to the restaurant staff and manager who went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed during the visit - including the many exceptional surprises! We will do our best to come back!

Just wow. What an amazing Safari experience this is/was. Staying at Settlers Drift is worth every cent. The experience we had was something we will never forget. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Aurelie is amazing and very friendly, and our guide Gladman was so knowledgeable and passionate about the animals. The luxury tents are so cool and views are awesome. Food is delicious and staff very attentive. We saw all the amazing animals and had a special experience with the elephants. We didn’t see the elusive leopard but this was inconsequential. Aurelie and the staff even set up a surprise romantic dinner for myself and my partner - just next level service. I recommend anyone who wants to do a safari to go here!
