Full Day Addo & Schotia Safari

Embark on a full-day Eastern Cape adventure combining Addo Elephant National Park and Schotia Private Game Reserve. Your journey begins with a scenic transfer to Addo, South Africa’s third-largest national park and home to the world’s densest population of wild elephants. A guided game drive reveals diverse landscapes and wildlife, from elephants, lions, and buffalo to zebra, hyena, and the rare flightless dung beetle, enriched by your guide’s expert insights. After your morning safari, enjoy a relaxed lunch at the Cattle Baron inside Addo before continuing to Schotia, one of the region’s most respected private reserves. Here, a four-hour open-vehicle safari offers exceptional chances to spot rhino, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, and free-roaming lions as they become active toward sunset. End the day with a fireside two-course dinner beneath the stars in Schotia’s thatched lapa before returning to your cruise terminal.
