High success rate for lion and elephant sightings, small group feel, open safari vehicles, expert guides and an unforgettable bush dinner setting.
Experience an exhilarating adventure at Schotia Safaris, the oldest private game reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, nestled on the eastern side of Addo Elephant National Park. This malaria-free reserve is renowned for its dense wildlife population, featuring over 40 mammal species and approximately 2,000 animals, ensuring exceptional game viewing all year round.
Embark on the exclusive Schotia Tooth & Claw Safari, a guided game drive in an open 4×4 vehicle that takes you as close as possible to the best viewing spots of the Big 5—Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, and Leopard—along with Giraffes, Hippos, and more. Schotia was the first reserve in the Cape Province to have free-roaming lions, and sightings of these majestic animals are almost guaranteed.
Along the way, enjoy a short refreshments and toilet break at the halfway point, and after a afternoon of incredible animal encounters, relax around an open fire for a delicious dinner, expertly prepared. The safari focuses on showcasing the most popular wildlife sightings, providing an immersive experience of Africa’s wilderness.
To complete your adventure, a short, spotlight-lit night game drive offers the chance to see nocturnal animals in their natural behavior as you head back to the reception area. This unforgettable experience combines thrilling wildlife encounters, stunning scenery, and authentic South African safari hospitality.
