Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari

1. Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari

Get picked up from your hotel in Port Elizabeth, Bluewater Bay, or Colchester. Spend a full day exploring the third largest National Park in South Africa with an expert local guide. The original elephant section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when only eleven elephants remained in the area.  Today you can see a variety of predators, antelope, zebra species, endangered black rhino as well as the unique Addo flightless dung beetle, found almost exclusively in Addo.  The park is also the only one in the world to conserve the “Big 7” – the Big 5 as well as the southern right whale and great white shark off the Algoa Bay coast.  An excursion to the Addo Elephant park is a must when visiting this unique area.

Full-Day All Inclusive Safari with Traditional Braai Lunch

2. Full-Day All Inclusive Safari with Traditional Braai Lunch

Your experienced and enthusiastic guide will do their best to locate as much of the game available in the area and interpret their behavior for you during your drive. The first few hours of the tour are usually good to see antelope, zebra and lion. As this safari covers all time periods of the day, you should have the opportunity to see most game species. Stopping for a tea and coffee break at around 10:30 AM, you will continue on the game drive for sightings of elephants and buffalo near the watering holes. At lunchtime you can enjoy a delicious South African braai with juice, mineral water, beer and white wine. After lunch continue on the safari before being returned to your place of accommodation. Refreshments will be served throughout the drive.

What people are saying about Port Elizabeth

To crowded.

It was the worst experience I had visiting anywhere. We had to que for about 3 and half hours. After getting in, it was so crowded, we couldn't admire the beauty of it. It was as if we were in a sardine can: people bumping into each other and it was so stuffy and hot I started to feel sick. I think they just sell all the tickets they can without thinking of safety. Granted we went peek touristic season in August. On the other hand the gardens looked beautiful from a distance, but we never got to go there because it was raining. You save no time by buying your tickets online.

Although our ship stopped at a different pier due to a medical emergency we were picked up early and brought to the park.Very nicht diverse and guide stoppen whenever animals were in sight.Very good braii on a campground.

We had a really great guide Steven. He always responded to our questions and requests. We saw a lot of animals. The lunch was delicious and lovingly prepared. A great day that we will remember for a long time!

Wonderful day, excelent guide, Stephen, we got to see a lot of animals, very good explanations and delightful meal cooked by him. 100% recommended
