    Awesome Addo day with Mark

    Keryn_P, Nov 2025
    Wow, what a day! Mark picked is up from the cruise terminal, and the fun began. On the trip to Addo we learnt so much about Port Elizabeth, its history, its politics, attractions and so much more. Mark warned us that we may or may not see many other animals other than elephants, but those, he could guarantee. We must've hit the jackpot, as the cooler weather brought out the animals. We were even fortunate enough to see a male lion with 2 lionesses chilling under a tree. Springboks, warthogs (Pumbas), zebras, buffalo, turtles and so many elephants. The opportunities we had to get close to the animals, thanks to Mark's knowledge, made photo taking so easy. We'll remember Port Elizabeth, Mark and Addo, every time we see our incredible photos. A must for all visitors. Thanks Mark for a day to remember

    Great tour!

    Steve_W, Nov 2025
    Absolutely wonderful tour and guide. We saw almost every type of animal in the park! Mark was a fantastic guide. He made sure each of us fit photos of the animals we encountered. He was very friendly and informative. Great tour - I would recommend it highly!

    We saw los f animals and got great pictures. Our guide was great. He knew exactly where to go. Given it was only a 1/2 day tour we were extremely pleased.

    Sehr enttäuschend

    Jens_B, Mar 2025
    Der Fahrer war freundlich und das Auto gut. Wir haben fast keine -genauer 3 -Elefanten gesehen obwohl eine ebenfalls 6stündige Tour mit Aida 50-100 Elefanten beobachten konnte-die Beweisbilder wurden uns gezeigt.Der Tourguide hat fast nichts erklärt. Wir waren sehr enttäuscht-noch mehr als wir erfuhren dass andere Ausflüge an Wasserlöchern grosse Elefantengruppen gesehen haben.Unser Guide hat uns nicht dorthin geführt.Ich kann diese Tour nicht empfehlen.

    Hi Jens What a liar you are, Tony your guide showed you lots of Elephants on 25 Mar 2025. Even me the owner where in Addo Elephant Nat Park and we all where sitting next to the elephants at the drinking whole while you where watching them and taking pictures.
