Private Game Reserves
The Eastern Cape has some magnificent private game reserves – all are world-class and leaders in conservation. These include, Addo Wildlife Safaris, Kwandwe, Kariega, Amakhala, Schotia, Shamwari and Pumba. Six of them are an easy drive from KRONENHOFF and offer fantastic game drives. They are different to Addo – complementing it well – so a combination of Addo and a trip to one of these reserves is a great way to round off your safari experience in the area.
- Schotia Tooth & Claw Safari
Schotia is a private game reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. We take our guests as close as possible to get the best viewing of rhino, hippo, giraffe and the king of the beasts, lion!
The Schotia Tooth & Claw Safari is a four-hour guided game drive in an open Land Rover with a short refreshments and toilet break at the halfway point. After an amazing experience, where you will view more animals than you thought possible, enjoy a delicious dinner which is prepared over an open fire.
We try to show our guests as much as possible on a drive and concentrate on the popular sightings rather than ‘the birds and the bees’.
A short, spotlit night game drive providing the possibility of more nocturnal animals completes your experience as we return to our reception area.
