AMAZING!!!! Joel, his wife and team were excellent. We were picked up and welcomed straight away. Joel’s knowledge of the NP and animals was amazing, we saw and heard so much. The BBQ they laid on was excellent and the hospitality they shown us was amazing. I would very highly recommend this trip to everyone and would even do it again. Thank you for an amazing experience, we will never forget it.

Great safari

Venissa_J, Apr 2024

It was a great day and our guide Wandele was informative and friendly. We were able to stop and view the animals, there was no rushing.

We went for my fiancé’s...

Liza_S, Apr 2024

We went for my fiancé’s birthday and John was our guide - he was very friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, safe, and really worked hard to make sure we saw lots of animals!

AMAZING!! Must do trip

Excellent

JeanPaul_M, Mar 2024

Seeing lions, elephants, zebras, …. The weather was perfect, very sunny. The explanations of our very kind guide Sidwell where very goods and he took time to do and repeat if asked.

Allen was the best...

Katja_H, Apr 2023

Allen was the best chauffeur for this trip. We got the best of what was to see that day… The downside was the trip was sold as the big five safari. That was not true, the leopard had not been seen since 2007

Nice safari

Annika_K, Mar 2023

A nice safari during which we saw elefants, zebras, buffalos, lions, warthogs, ostrich... We were 6 + driver in a minivan, so there was a good possibility to take pictures to both sides. We also had a nice lunch with out fellow guests. The driver was nice and helpful. The elefants and zebras you could find close to the van, but the lions were quite far, so I recommend a camera with a long-focus lens if possible (I had a 70-200 and 100-400). The starting time had changed from 9 to 7.30 am the night before and as we didn't have access to whatsapp then we had missed this info. Fortunatelly we got a phone call at 8.10 to ask where we were. Hakuna Matata in the end though. :)

Great day tour with a very good tour company.

Janice_K, Feb 2023

All communications prior to tour were very good, prompt and clear. We were travelling on a cruise ship and found out the night before the tour that our ship was going to arrive in Port Elizabeth later than scheduled. We let them know and they messaged back to say it was ok and they would wait for us at the cruise terminal. Some fellow passengers who had booked with a different company weren't so lucky and missed their tour. Our transport was comfortable and plenty of cold water was provided. We had a really lovely day in the National Park seeing lots of different wildlife as well as numerous groups of elephants at close range. Our guide was very nice, very informative, drew our attention to lots of things that we wouldn't otherwise have noticed and prepared a very decent lunch including vegetarian options and a variety of drinks. Would definitely recommend them!

Totally worth it

Anna_S, Jan 2023

We had a wonderfull day with our guide. Stafford was friendly and looked after us. We saw a lot of Elephants and other animals. We learned a lot about the animals who live in the park

Great experience.

Hugh_M, Jan 2022

King Elvis was a great guide. We saw lots of animals and it was a great day. We were lucky to see 3 female lions.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Hugh, Thank you very much for your review. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and support. Elvis is very knowledgeable and I'm glad you had a good day in the Addo Elephant Park with him. Enjoy the rest of your stay in South Africa. Best wishes, The Afroventures Team

Elephant Park

Rudolph_H, Feb 2020

Excellent safari and the driver was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended and would use this tour company again

Afraid for all the wrong reasons!

Carbar, Feb 2020

Our driver allowed us to open the back door of the minibus in front of buffalo. He let a man leave the vehicle to take a close up of an ostrich. The minibus broke down in front of 3 thankfully sleeping lions resulting in him having to leave the vehicle to attach jump leads. Having restarted the engine after someone towing us uphill he returned to site of lions and then reversed into a vehicle. The overall result left me feeling quite unsafe. I requested a refund and have not received a reply. The driver was very pleasant and tried hard to please us but I am sure he broke park rules.

WONDERFUL SAFARI

lamvoiemg, Feb 2020

OUr guide John went above and beyond to help us to see everything we could. The guides were talking amongst themselves to help each other to spot the animals. One was in the west, the other east, and telling oh oh, we saw the lions at such and such a place, we then rushed to see the same thing. Was fabulous, a wonderful day. The ship got in the port late because of the fog, John was waiting for us and we saw everything, lion, elephant, zebra, warthog, turtoise, buffalo, no giraffe or rhino at this park. But WE LOVED IT and the guide was SUPER good, nice and interested that we were happy.

Day trip to addo

Louise_A, Jan 2020

1st time there went with afro Adventures and our driver John was very knowledgeable, lots of fun!! was able to find lots of elephant sitings.

Super

simon_r, Nov 2019

Kevin and John were great what a pleasure to discover Addo park with them, they are truly passionate about animals and will explain everything they know about South Africa, Port Elizabeth, the park and of course the faune and the flore. It is for sure the favourite day of our stay in South Africa, cant wait to come back !

sehr gut

David_W, Jan 2020

Super Ausflug mit einem super Guide. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt voll augenutzt. Wir wurden frühs kurz nach dem Anlegen direkt am Schiff abgeholt und Abends kurz vorm Ablegen wieder am Schiff abgeliefert. SAind den ganzen Tag in Land Cruiser durch den Park gefahren und haben eine vielzahl von Tieren gesehen. Auch das Mittagessen in einer Lodge mitten im Park war super. Würden den Ausflug sofort nochmal machen.

Excellent
