Kariega Game Reserve – Ukhozi Lodge
Experience the romance of Africa
Ukhozi Lodge captures the modern romance of safari. This former rustic lodge has recently been rebuilt with a stunning new rim-flow pool for gazing out to the valley from its half-moon edge. The lodge has the charm of a modern farmhouse with exposed wooden beams and stone walls, but has the inescapable feeling of being on safari thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the outdoors.
Cosy up on a sofa by the lounge fireplace after exhilarating game drives trying to spot the Big Five or take a trip to the new wellness centre for a rejuvenating massage. Or take advantage of Ukhozi Lodge's location close to the Kariega River and go on a river cruise.
With only ten luxury log suites, this intimate lodge is ideal for honeymooners. The main lodge area and its restaurant, bar, lounges, library and boma make it easy to mingle with your fellow guests, and yet privacy can also be easily found. Each suite has a private pool and a deck to drink in the panoramic views out across the valley.
A cosy, intimate lodge ideal for honeymooners.

What the people who book this hotel say about staying there.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”

Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
