The Kariega Foundation is a non-profit trust working in partnership with Kariega Game Reserve to create a sustainable eco-tourism model that delivers on a holistic mandate to protect and preserve the Kariega wilderness and uplift the people and communities that live in and around the reserve.
Our vision is to build a conservation community that works collectively to rejuvenate our planet, people, and wildlife.
The Kariega Foundation is very grateful to every Kariega Game Reserve guest who becomes our community and conservation partner via the Kariega Foundation conservation and community levy. All adult guests staying at Kariega pay a compulsory levy in addition to accommodation and other costs. These funds are invested directly into our community and conservation projects, which play an immediate role in the betterment of local livelihoods and conservation efforts.
Through the conservation projects, we are wholeheartedly committed to protecting and preserving the animal, bird, and plant life of the area and restoring the natural balance and beauty of Kariega Game Reserve.
We have a particular interest in World Rhino Day, held every year on September 22nd in celebration of the five species of rhino. The collective aim is to encourage everyone to work towards eliminating the demand for rhino horn by debunking myths that still persist.
The Save the Rhino project was launched in March 2012 after a terrible poaching incident that left one rhino dead and two severely injured. The project was dedicated to raising funds to support the medical care for the two survivors (Thandi and Themba). Sadly Themba passed away, but Thandi pulled through and produced four calves since her poaching. Her story has inspired many and created global awareness of the plight of her species. Save the Rhino now focuses on the implementation of a multi-layered rhino protection plan providing the best possible anti-poaching and protection methods possible.

We are privileged to work with a number of partner organisations that contribute significantly to our conservation and community efforts.
We appreciate every contribution of resources, skills, and funds given by guests, staff, volunteers, businesses, inspired adventurers, and ordinary people who want to contribute and make a difference.
