Addo

The Eastern Cape of South Africa is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world. It is host to The Addo Elephant National Park and many other private Game Reserves.

These malaria free alternatives for the Kruger National Park all offer the “Big 5” (Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard ) and due to the enormous expansions the Addo Elephant National Park now includes a marine section with seasonal whales and sharks. (“Big 7”)

Schotia

Schotia Safaris is the oldest private game reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa,  bordering the eastern side of Addo Elephant National Park.

Enjoy your Safari in South Africa on this malaria free reserve, which is probably the most densely stocked reserve in Africa, and with over 40 mammal species and approximately 2000 animals, can offer consistently good game viewing throughout the year.
