For those who want to meet the Big 5 in a short time
Scotia half-day tour. It was scary because the bumpy road made me feel like I might be thrown out of the car, but I was able to see lions, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, elephants, and ostriches, so I think it's perfect for people who want to see the Big Five in a short time.
After spending the last month visiting game parks in both South Africa and Namibia, didn’t think I would get the most amazing experience yet at Schotia Game Reserve. Understanding these are more controlled environments didn’t take away from having the Big 5 almost nose-to-nose to you in the open safari vehicle. Going in low winter season meant only a handful of other vehicles and a superb Guide in Toku who found every hidden path to ensure the maximum experience with these amazing animals - cannot say enough about this tour.

Great experience in an open safari car
It was fun with the open safari cart! It was a great tour with lots of rhinos, zebras and giraffes.
Unfortunately, we did not see a lion, but others who came to meet us.
Tour is highly recommended!

Great game reserve with good opportunities for discovery. But poor transportation organization.
The Game Reserve is very nice and offers plenty of possibilities. Our guide Jen made an effort and was also friendly and funny. In the end we were rewarded with the discovery of a small pack of lions. Only the outward transport was deficient. No contact in advance, initially no one at the meeting point at the cruise terminal. Can only be found after a delay and additional route outside the port area. That's better!

Great experience. Super
The booking, pick-up and itinerary of the excursion were perfect.
The price-performance ratio is right.
I can absolutely recommend this trip with TripAdvisor.

Worth the money and time. Highly recommended and not to be missed.
Overall tour was amazing from beginning to end.
The pick up staff was on time, communication was excellent, and drop off time was accurate. We made the booking on the same day and Viator made it happen. Grateful for Viator and Rawson Tour. (Tour provider) Frank was already at the pick up location when we arrived. He drove us to the Safari Private Game Reserve. Tucus-our safari 4x4 driver made stops for us to watch the animals roaming in the reserve land. We saw all the animals advertised in the tour. The weather was sunny and a bit chilly. Bring a windbreaker or light jacket. Overall-we can’t asked for a better tour and weather. Wonderful experience!

A must do in Port Elizabeth
Great experience overall. Our tour guide was excellent and very informative.
Certainly very pleased that we opted for this tour.
If you have a choice, I would recommend not sitting in the cab with the tour guide but in the open part of the vehicle.
