The stay
A family safari lodge built around multi-bedroom chalets
Main Lodge's twenty-four log chalets include flexible bedroom configurations and generous living areas, giving families and groups more shared space than a conventional suite-based safari lodge.
Who Main Lodge suits
It suits families and friends travelling together: children of all ages are welcome, children 12 and under receive child rates, and the multi-bedroom chalets give shared living space. Twice-daily drives, river cruises and guided walks are part of the lodge programme. Kariega is reached by road and combines well with the Garden Route; Gqeberha is the nearest airport.
