Schrikkloof is home to an impressive variety of African wildlife, offering unforgettable sightings during your guided nature drives, walkes or even from the comfort of the lodge. Large herds of buffalo, giraffe, zebra, sable antelope, kudu, nyala, eland, wildebeest, hartebeest and waterbuck still roam freely across the reserve’s rolling hills and open plains. Each drive reveals something new – from elegant antelope moving through the bush to the powerful presence of a solitary buffalo.

Beyond these iconic species, the estate is also a haven for more elusive and nocturnal animals. Guests may encounter warthog, bush pig, porcupine, baboon, and even rarer species such as the aardvark, aardwolf, and brown hyena.
If you’re very lucky, you might even spot the occasional leopard or a passing pack of wild dogs, adding a thrilling edge to your safari experience.

Please note: The lions at The Lions Foundation are still recovering and potentially dangerous. For your safety, you will be asked to follow the ranger’s instructions and sign a waiver before visiting.
