Day 2 – Walking Safari & Schotia Big 5 Experience

Begin the morning with your choice of a guided elephant or giraffe walking safari, offering an intimate opportunity to experience the African bush on foot. This immersive encounter allows you to learn about animal behaviour, tracking techniques, and the smaller details of nature often missed from a vehicle. After breakfast and some leisure time at your lodge, depart for Schotia Private Game Reserve for an exhilarating open-vehicle Big 5 safari.

At Schotia, one of the best malaria-free reserves in the Eastern Cape for close lion sightings, your ranger may take you off-road for thrilling encounters with lions, hippos, giraffes, buffalo, and various antelope species. The open safari vehicle ensures exceptional photography opportunities and a truly immersive wildlife experience.
