Out of this world. Priceless, heaven's gateway. Addo is beyond priceless. The beauty and the soreness doesn't begin to describe it. Addo - a world heritage site.

Amazing experience for a half day. Saw so many elephants. Best part was seeing the elephants running to the watering hole and bathing.

What an absolutely brilliant experience. Well done Clint for running such a great company and a big shout out to our wonderful guide Steve!! Got picked up by a super friendly, experienced and knowledgeable guide, Steve. He was continuously on the look out and in communication with others to locate the game and we managed to get super close to elephants, zebras, baboons, buffalo, antelopes… He knew exactly where to go and when. Stopped for a lovely lunch which also exceeded our expectations. This experience was on par with Chobe National Park. Loved it, thank you!! Go ahead and book it - you’ll love it.

We had an awesome trip. Langston was our guide and he was top notch. He ensured that we saw everything he could find to show us. Also the lunch/brunch was amazing- homemade bread, potato salad, pickled eggplant, salads, ham, chicken just the works. You cannot ask for more on an excursion. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks Addo and Langston for making our safari the best.

Our half day tour with our guide Allan was truely amazing! Allan had great knowledge about the park and all the animals. He picked us up at our apartment at 08:20 am (really punctually) with his nice Safari vehicle. Already within the first half hour of our tour, we saw kudos, zebras, elefants and 4 lions. While the guides in the other cars did not spot the lions, Allan recognized them in the bush at first sight. During the entire tour, Allan provided us interesting information about the animals and knew the right spots to go to. When we told him the need to search for a restroom, he immediately brought us to the bathroom area within the park. At 11:30 we had a nice picnic with freshly baked bread in the picnic area. We spent some time at the water holes where elephants passed approx 50cm in front of our car and we took many nice pictures. We left the park at 13:15 and had a wonderful stay! Allan even organized with the park crew that we could reuse our ticket to re-enter the park with our own vehicle in the afternoon. We would definitely book this trip once again and highly recommend it! Greetings to Allan, thanks again for this nice experience!

It was amazing to see so many elephants congregated at the waterholes, as well as small groups travelling along the road/track. To experience an elephant gaze into your soul from only a metre away was unforgettable. So many other animal encounters on the day - monkeys, baboons, tortoises, wide array of antelope, zebras and bird life. Lots of Pumba the warthog! No lions today, but three additional lions were to be released the next day. An unforgettable day, I fully recommend this tour with a very informative tour guide.

The trip was amazing! Our tour guide Stephan was spectacular, had a wealth of knowledge and was very accommodating. We must have seen about 150 elephants or more! The picnic was fantastic thanks to Stephan. A very nice treat indeed. Finally I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a 5 hour safari trip if you are in and around the Eastern Cape area.

Our Tour driver was perfect and friendly…We met people from UK it was nice, although we saw only 3 of the big 5 animals. Our Driver was trying his best to meet the objectives of the game reserve
