We from At Sta-Plus love Schotia. Were never dissapointed as we always saw so many animals. The Guides and staff are always friendly and make you feel at home. Hope to make a Safari again next year.

Would I recommend it to friends? YES!!!! I've been there yesterday for the "Tooth and Claw Game Drive" and it was a great experience. We had more or less two rangers. Scott and a 10(?!) year old boy of a brasilian family which was with us. ;-) The little boy spotted all the animals and commented everything and Scott was... More

Just book and go, you will see them all - the great ones - just a 40 minute drive from PE. A great value for money to be picked up, enjoy the day safari with fantastic guides, tea break, more close encounter with the big ones, dinner under the fantastic night sky with stars of SA, and finally the night...

Great safaris near Addo National Park. I had a chance to see lions, rhinos, giraffes, elephants and other wild animals all in one afternoon (a very rainy one unfortunately) thanks to the size of the reserve. The whole thing is family run with very welcoming owners and competent staff.

This was a great safari in an open sided Land Rover with a great guide (Nic). Nic really knew a lot about the different animals that he exposed us to and there was a lot for him to talk about. He was able to find a pride of lions that we got within 20 feet of and just sat there... More

This was something that I had always wanted to do - my son Stephen treated me to the trip while i was put visiting him and it exceeded all of my expectations. The success was also attributable to our ranger Edward who was so knowledgable as well as friendly. We saw lions, rhino, hippos, giraffes, zebra crocodiles as well as... More

Yesterday I joined Warren (guide) on the Tooth & Claw safari at Schotia Safaris, It was amazing: I never expected to see so many wild animals: elephants, hippo's, rhino's, giraffes, several types of antilopes, and the lions. Warren took the time to explain details on the animals, nice-to-knows etc. Everything took place in a very relaxed manner, I never felt... More

This was certainly the best experience of our 17 days in South Africa! We started our Safari at 3 pm with Ranger Edward, great guy and had answers to every question, and stayed overnight in one of the lodges. We heard the lions roaring in the night probably around 200 metres away from our lodge - it was a unique... More

Normally they offer a package from three in the afternoon to nine o’clock at night and one sleeping over in a rustic camp. We did not sleep in the camp but it looked... More
