Schotia Safaris |

Schotia Safaris is a privately owned and managed reserve which has been owned by the Bean family since 1833. Schotia is the oldest private game viewing reserve in the Cape Province of South Africa and also the first reserve to have lions that can hunt for themselves. There are approximately 2 000 animals and over 40 mammal species on the reserve. The wildlife introduction process started in 1982 and will continue until the reserve is fully stocked with a variety of animals which are suited to the habitat. The main objective at Schotia is to present a product to the guests which gives them an idea of what Africa used to look like before man arrived. We believe that “man must fit in with nature and that animals should be self-sustaining”. |

We also believe that “canned hunting” is equally as bad as “canned photography or viewing”. Schotia is rightly renown for its lions (you will get very close ) and there are numerous other species, antelope, hippo, crocodile, rhino, ostrich, monkeys, aardwolf, aardvark, wildebeest and giraffe, to highlight a few. |

There is an exciting choice of accommodation at Schotia. Three “honeymoon” style rondavels. The rondavels are totally private and situated in the heart of the bush. The bathrooms are en-suite and have double bath, basin, shower and toilet. The bedrooms have double beds, fireplace (with a real fire) and open onto a private veranda. The Schotia package was designed to give guests an African experience without “roughing it”. There is no electricity. The lamps will be lit for you in the evening and the rooms are serviced daily. |

A Bush Camp is available which has 2 units, with twin beds in each. Very comfortable, can sleep 4 guests in total. This is in the lion area and a ranger will stay there overnight with the guests. After dinner at the lapa, your ranger will take you to your accommodation at Bush Camp where he will light a lovely fire and you can chat under the stars, until ready to retire. In the morning you will enjoy a guided game drive, followed by a nice cooked breakfast at the lapa. There is a bathroom facility with hot and cold water (bath and shower). This "Sleeping with the lions!" is unique and very exciting. |
