Brilliant day! - We arrived to meet our tour guide Sidmain at the reception area of the main camp and we’re delighted to find out that we were the only two people on the game drive with him, we are so grateful that the drive went ahead and Sidmain was awesome! He had so much knowledge to share, a great sense of humour and was endlessly patient as we took hundreds of photos of everything we encountered. Seeing the elephants was such an incredible experience, there were so many of all ages and it was so special. We didn’t see the lions (not for lack of trying and determination on Sidmain’s part, he tried so hard but they were hiding out of sight) but we did see jackals, hyenas, a meerkat, tonnes of elephants, even more warthogs, buffalo, zebras, elands, red hartebeest, a honey badger, kudu, ostriches and so many beautiful birds. The lunch was lovely! Thank you to Sidmain and the team for putting together a brilliant experience!

Elephants and more elephants! - Really enjoyed the day in Addo. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. It was definitely better than a self drive because you learnt so much about the park and animals. Would definitely recommend.

Loved Addo! - So many elephants! Unfortunately none of the cats were roaming today so I didn’t get to see any lions or leopards, but I opted for this place over some of the other reserves where the animals were guaranteed so I’ll live with the authentic experience. Knowing the animals were in nature and could potentially be prey or others predators as nature intended beats a guarantee of seeing the animals I want because they’re being hand fed by staff. Incredible experience and I still saw so much more than I could’ve imagined. Elephants, buffalo, monkeys, antelope, jackals, zebra, etc.

Addo Elephant Park with King Elvis - Great safari with the best guide! King Elvis (guide) knows all the places around Addo Park and made us meet lions! I'm sure without him we wouldn't have seen the lion and other animals! It was an incredible experience.

Great safari with Wanele! - What a fantastic day!!! Wanele was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we saw some awesome animals! I thought we weren't going to see lions, then right as we were about to leave - there he was! I even recorded him roaring and we followed him to the waterhole and got some close up pictures! Just an absolute fabulous day and experience!
