Schotia Safaris Private Game Reserve

Rolling landscapes of acacia-dotted savannah and dense thickets define this private game reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Bordering Addo Elephant National Park, it spans a diverse terrain teeming with wildlife. As the region’s oldest private game reserve, it has provided a sanctuary for over 40 mammal species, including rhinos, hippos, giraffes, and lions. The renowned Tooth & Claw Safari immerses visitors in a four-hour guided game drive, where open Land Rovers navigate rugged tracks for up-close encounters. Twilight sets the stage for a fireside dinner, complemented by the sounds of nocturnal wildlife. Watering holes attract crocodiles and birdlife, while vast plains support large herds of antelope. Unlike many reserves, Schotia ensures year-round game viewing, offering an intimate alternative to larger parks.
