Rican (owner and guide) is absolutely top notch! His knowledge, kindness, and customer support ethic are second to none.
We are contemplating a full-up 9 day Safari with him for a coming vacation.

Our guide, Mike Andrews, was very informative about all the animals in Addo. We saw a herd of elephants crossing the way, zebras were very close to our car, warthogs ran freely infront the car. Very nice experience.

Hi Savitri
Thank you for your great review!

We booked a private trip with our guide Alan L, a much more personal experience than a group tour. Took us to the best sightings, including some less common, and had lots of background info.

We had an excellent trip to Addo Elephant National Park, our guide Nick was exceptional, a very interesting man who kept us entertained on the drive to and from the park. He was very good at spotting wildlife and was very knowledgeable about the species we encountered. All of our group had a wonderful time and were very happy with the time we spent and the animal encounters we had.

Thank you Thomas for the great review!

This was a fantastic experience. Alan was our guide and he was very professional and knowledgeable. Also very good communication in preparation of the tour. We were visiting Port Elizabeth on a cruise ship and were so happy that we choose a private jeep tour instead of a bus tour offered by the cruise line. Would definitely recommend!

We wish you safe travels back home, hope in seeing you back soon.

Great Tour with a private driver. Alan was just perfect and told us many things about South Africa. The elefant park was a great experience.

We were picked up by Pierre, who really helped us a lot. Thanks a lot again.
Upon arrival at the park, Pierre took us to the registration, which was done quickly and effortlessly. Then we drove through the park and saw a lot of animals, some from afar, but also many were very close. Pierre stopped so that we could take our time to watch the animals, that was quite an amazing day. Thank you so much!

A private tour where the guide took us through parts of Addo that we did not get to see in previous tours. The guide had a good background knowledge and he gave insightful information.
A number of elephants, kudos, warthogs and even the hard to spot buffalo Sol we would never have seen otherwise.
A worth seeing and lovely trip recommended.

ガイドの方がすごくいい方で、気持ちよく楽しめました。英語もわかりやすくゆっくり話してくれました。
天気があまり良くなかったので、初めは動物が出てこないようでしたが、時間を超えても動物をさがしてくれて、結果たくさんの種類の野生動物が見れて、最高のサファリツアーでした。
プライベートツアーという名前がついていたせいか、こちらの要求に応じていただき、とても楽しい時間でした。
Response from Host, Sep 2024
