Addo Elephant National Park is a good place to approach the largest mammal on land, the elephant. The park offers a large population of elephants at home, but also lions, hyenas, buffalo, black rhinos, zebras and various types of antelopes can be spotted during game drives. There are also around 150 different bird species, 600 different species of plants and the endangered dung beetle in the park. Addo Elephant National Park started in 1931 with only 11 elephants, now the population has grown to more than 600 elephants. As it can get very hot in the park, you will be driven around in a comfortable minibus with air conditioning. You only ride on the official paths during this safari, this makes it difficult to see the elephants after rainfall as the giants hide in the woods.
Schotia Game Reserve is the oldest private game viewing reserve in the Eastern Cape and offers the best opportunity to see lions in the wild, but also many other wildlife. Because the park is not that big you can be sure to spot its animals.
The safari in an open 4×4 safari vehicle starts in the afternoon because at the end of the day / evening you have the best chance of seeing lions. You can also find white rhinos, elephants, zebras, giraffes, crocodiles and many types of antelopes. You leave the beaten track to approach the wildlife closer. In the evening you can enjoy a delicious traditional African dinner buffet around a campfire at the beautiful open lapa.
Both game parks are malaria free.
