Experience Giraffes Up Close – On Foot
(Can also be combined with a safari in the Schotia Big 5 Game Reserve)
Embark on a unique adventure:
A guided walk through the African bush – side by side with the tallest land animals in the world: giraffes!
In a private game reserve of around 2,500 hectares, your experience begins with a drive in an open safari vehicle.
Once the majestic animals are spotted, the most exciting part of your adventure begins – on foot and safely accompanied by an experienced ranger, you will approach the giraffes in their natural habitat.
The guide will share fascinating insights into the behavior and unique characteristics of these incredible creatures.
The walk takes you through a varied landscape of bushland, gentle hills, and wide open plains – perfect for unforgettable nature sightings and spectacular photo opportunities.

Following a brief welcome stop, your adventure begins – starting with a short safari drive and followed by an approximately 1-hour giraffe walk.
You’ll often get within just a few meters of the animals.
Afterward, you’ll return to the port.
🦒 Important Note: The giraffes live freely in the reserve – touching them is neither possible nor intended.
