Amakhala & Schotia Safari with Overnight Stay

This safari combines the best of two very different reserves. Indeed, it pairs the wide open spaces of the Amakhala Game Reserve with the exceptional wildlife density of the Schotia Private Game Reserve. Moreover, between the two you stay in a small, personally run lodge in the middle of the bush.

Two Reserves, Two Kinds of Safari

On the first day you explore Amakhala, where the scale of the landscape is the striking thing, with plains and river valleys stretching away. The following day at Schotia the experience is quite different: a compact area with animals close at hand and sightings coming one after another. Both drives take place in open vehicles with experienced rangers. Above all, the contrast between the two reserves is what makes this combination worthwhile.
