    Thanks Esther for your great review! It was such a great pleasure in having you and be able to share my knowledge with you!

    It's all wonderful...

    Reimund_W, May 2026
    It all worked out wonderfully. The game drive in the open 4 x 4 vehicle was spectacular and our guide Alan was wonderful. We got to see a lot of animals, including all four of the Big Five (the leopard doesn't exist in this park anyway). The game drive is highly recommended and Alan in particular was great.

    Thank you for your great review! Leopards are nocturnal animals and are very elusive animals. They very difficult to find find during the day, they lie up in thick bush to hide.

    Many animals in a beautiful landscape.

    Safari in Schotia Game Reserve

    Berot, Feb 2026
    Safari was OK. Unfortunately, we did not see any lions (or only very far away and very poorly recognizable). The vehicle was good, though too tight for people with long legs. Pick up was not as indicated at the terminal but BEFORE the terminal. Since we didn't have internet, we waited in the wrong place. In addition, the pickup was 30 minutes earlier than agreed. This was only communicated to us shortly before the activity by email, which we saw only by chance (since no internet!). The driver was nice but drove a bit quickly through the park. All in all, the safari was OK. Wouldn't book them anymore.

    Dear Barot thank you for your review! Firstly, the lions at Schotia is wild animals not zoo kept, they roam freely on the Reserve and is not guaranteed to see. Secondly, when you made your reservation booking, you where emailed a CONFIRMATION email for your reservation booking, with all the information for pickup point and pickup time. This is then your responsibility to make sure you are at the pickup point at the right time.

    Great safari with lots of animals

    Melanie_B, Jan 2026
    We had booked this English speaking safari although we would have preferred a German speaking one! Our tour guide Piere was very hard, we understood almost everything he explained to us and also saw a lot of animals also 3 of the Big Five! This tour is highly recommended!
