We throughly enjoyed our visit to Addo with Walter who was very knowledgeable. We saw lions and buffalo plus many more animals that other people on our cruise didn’t see Excellent.

Addo experience

JamesOwen_L, Mar 2024

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.

Response from Host, May 2024

We as Addo travel center try our best to keep a high standard when it come to our vehicles, our trip and meals ect. We apologies for any inconvenience caused, due to game drive durations, difficult roads to navigate and maximizing sightings', getting guests for lunch on time becomes difficult which explains the lateness of the guide who was meant to fetch you. When it comes to vehicles it depends on number of our guests. If you are more than 4 we use minibuses as advertised. We apologies if the food was not satisfactory, as you stated it was overcooked. it saddens us to hear this, we usually don't get complains. If we knew you weren't satisfied, we would have made a dietary plan for your needs. if we had been informed of any inconvenience we would have done our ultimate best to help the experience be more comfortable. Our sincere apologies, hopefully this won't stop you using our services in future. if you would like you could email in time for your next trip so that we maximize your priorities and needs. Have an amazing and blessed day forward.

Terrible experience

Richard_S, Jan 2024

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.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Apologies for your experience having been ruined. The booking in question was cancelled from our booking system 24 hours before the ship docked. I was so furious as I had also organised everything for your arrival . I queried the cancellation with viator asking them how can I loose 2 bookings in succession less than 24 hours before arrival of the guests . The consultant who attended to my query her name was Gladys. She told me that the 2 booking's I lost was a's a result of medical emergency and the other guests had found a cheaper option . I had a lengthy discussion with Gladys and expressed anger with the cancellations The 28 was suppose to be a busy day for me but there was cancellation's. I lost a lot of money as result of the cancellation. When viator guests cancells bookings they don't even inform us as to why unless if as tour operator take pains to ask the agency on chat. You can get last minute cancellation and no reason sighted. It is very unfair on us as tour operators. We were prepared to host you and looking forward to host you till Gladys from viator via Chats told us and confirmed the cancellation's .

Four hours in a car without air condition

Michael_N, Jan 2024

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.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear sir Apologies for the fact that the aircon was not working well. The day in question temperatures in the park unusually rose up to almost 38 degrees. The aircon was overpowered and unknowingly also the gas was running out. It is very difficult to tell when aircon gas is running out. Disregardless of that all 4 windows did open and you were given an exclusive private safari whereby it was just the 2 of you instead of 4 people. Victor or yourself did not also not warn us that you are disabled and putting extra 2 guests would have convinced you or the other guests. You already did enjoy the exclusivity and all the services offered. To request 50 percent discount is misguided and it is very rude to call our vehicle lousy as that vehicle do conduct game drives everyday in the park. You are the only guest to have ever complained. I do not know what you mean by the woRd lousy. Yes aircon gas was low or may have run out but that is not anticipated. With temperatures skyroof even the most brand new vehicle with aircon was overpowered by the unexpected high temperature on the day in the park. Also for your own information 90 percent of vehicles conducting game drives in the park does not even use aircon at all since you have to keep windows open for sightings. All 4 windows of the vehicle in question do open and do not see justification of a discount. Vehicle did not breakdown. Guide was good and sightings good.

A day with the elephants

Bob_T, May 2023

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

OlgaWhitlatch, Feb 2023

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.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear valued client . Are you sure the trip was with addo travel center and adventure. It would be great to have a river on addo and buffalo crossing the river. Best regards. Walter

Lions seen

Anthony_H, Mar 2020

We throughly enjoyed our visit to Addo with Walter who was very knowledgeable. We saw lions and buffalo plus many more animals that other people on our cruise didn’t see Excellent.

Perfect day

Jrg_N, Mar 2020

Everything was fine. After a short delay for pick-up, the team did everything to make up for this. And they did more than this. Was a perfect day with lions and a good braai. Can recommend it truly. Thanks for make the day a memorable experience to Nicki & Walter. See you next time in PE.

Big 5 vinden in Addo is...

JeanPierre_D, Dec 2022

Big 5 vinden in Addo is een groot woord maar in de praktijk in Addo kun je dit gewoon vergeten. De landrovers waarmee we rondtoerden waren aan. een zware herstelbetalingen of zelfs vervanging toe. De drivers waren ok.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for your feedback . Its indeed true it is not easy to find big 5 in addo park most of the time. It is such a big area and the animals are free roaming. Our landrovers work very hard everyday in the harsh conditions of the african roads. Despite that we are busy changing our fleet to modern 4 by 4 landrovers. The biggest challenge has been corona. With your unequivocal support we shall get to the levels we were precorona pandemic. Thank you for your feedback
