A day with the elephants - Being within metres of herds of elephants. Being a solo tourist with a extremely knowledgeable guide was great. The park is very impressive.

Magical experience - We had a wonderful time in this tour from the tour group Under African Skies ran by Teshni. We felt that team went above and beyond to make sure we are having a great time: the surprise coffee stop by the river with a bunch of treats while we are watching water buffalos across the river, amazing barbecue cooked right in front of us and at the end of the tour - a surprise gift! Really special experience, telling all my friends about it.

Great safari experience - Had a great time with Walter, he really brought Addo alive with his enthusiasm and great knowledge of the park and the animals in it. We went on two drives with him and he was always on time, always friendly and accommodating, and if he can’t find the game in Addo, no one can. Saw wonderful elephant herds, hartebeasts and loads of other antelopes, warthogs, jackals… the list goes on. Highly recommend Addo Travel centre.

Great animal sightings - We spent a great day with Walter at Addo Elephant Park. Walter gave us so much of his knowledge about the nature,animal but also the culture. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with him and watch the animals.

Epic - Myself and friends were on a two week tour of SA. The Day spent with Walter and Tawanda on Safari was a major highlight of the Trip. An unmissable day. Highly informative and knowledgeable throughout. Braii @ Lunchstop was 5 Star quality. Tony

Addo experience - Brian was an excellent guide, very well informed and helpful. Transport vehicle was unsatisfactory: pick-up arrangement failed and caused one hour delay and serious frustration, while vehicle itself (standard bus-taxi) was uncomfortable, and not ideal for game viewing. Braai lunch dreadful: unsatisfactory hygiene, overcooked meat, and all four in party suffered consequences of varying severity.

WARRANTY FOR A 4 X 4 VEHICLE NOT RESPECTED - FIRST DISAPPOINTMENT: After finally finding our guide (no sign with our name at the exit of the port), we headed towards a mini van. We immediately asked the guide why we didn't have a 4x4 for the day. He informed us that we would change vehicles when we arrived at the park. However, we had communicated with Tripadviser before booking in order to have the guarantee that the safari would be done in 4 X 4. Otherwise, we would not book this excursion, because we have already done safaris and know the difference experience between the two. We were assured that the safari would be done with a 4x4. SECOND DISAPPOINTMENT: At the park, we changed vehicles to another mini van. The guide put us in contact with his boss. We could wait for another group for a 4x4, but they didn't know when we could start the safari. We had to wait at the restaurant for him to arrive. Not wanting to waste part of the day waiting, we decided to leave with the group in the mini van. THIRD DISAPPOINTMENT: Being six people in a mini van with only four windows that opened, there was always one person in the center of the vehicle who couldn't take photos unless they did so through a window. FOURTH DISAPPOINTMENT: Maybe we were just unlucky, but we didn't see many species of animals during the several hours of safari. POSITIVE : The lunch was excellent and in a very pleasant environment.

Four hours in a car without air condition - The guide was good. The Safari Park interesting but they sent us a car without air-conditioning. It was a lousy car, and we have been forced to stay more than four hours without air conditioner. I would like to have at least 50% of my money back.

Untrustworthy Tour Operator - Unfortunately, the tour operator arrived almost one hour late at the designated cruise ship terminal. When we called about 30 minutes after the allotted meeting time, the operator said he was unable to monitor the ship arrival time and would be at the terminal in 10 minutes. We called again, and the tour operator said he had trouble clearing port security. However, every other other private tour operator managed to be at the port on time, in fact most arrived early. We were eventually able be see some animals despite the rain, so the day was able to be somewhat salvaged. We were dropped off about one hour early. The operator seemed inclined to do the minimum. Please be advised the Addo park has only 5 lions, so the odds of seeing these elusive animals is virtually nil.

Terrible experience - The driver never showed ruining my trip. I will never use this service again. Viator Support was difficult to find out the website. And once I did find they were very little help. I ended up having to pay more money for on the media trip. That was only a half-day not a full day. Viator was responsible for ruining my vacation.
