The 6,000 hectare reserve was the first in the Eastern Cape to reintroduce free range lions (lions that hunt and fend for themselves)

Although Schotia is rightly renown for its lions (you will get very close ) 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.

Orlando Lodge is a recently completed comfortable lodge and accommodates up to 8 guests.

SLEEPING WITH THE LIONS!! A Bush Camp is available which has 2 units, with twin beds in each. It is very comfortable and can sleep 4 guests.
