Knowledgeable guide; Elephants, zebras, and plenty of antelope types in a national park setting - Great guide and owner; timely transportation to and from the hotel; wonderful enclosed land cruiser on a chilly, windy day; great lunch braai with meats, sides, and drinks; good game veiwing in an expansive national park. It was amazing to have a group of elephants walk around both sides of the land cruiser as they moved through the park. It was good day and i would do it again.

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME - To see the giant animals play in the mud as if they were children was a thrill. To see the herd interact and be at peace was a moving experience. Our guide, Steve, did an extraordinary job in taking us close to the elephants so much so that we could almost count the eyelashes on their eyes. He also explained some of the behavioral traits of the big beasts. Steve's barbequing skills do also merit an honorable mention. Steve took the trouble to introduce us to other animals as we drove through the beautiful landscape. Thanks to all, Ulrike and Andrew

Unique experience Family-friendly competent reliable and highly recommended - We (my wife and I) did this tour with our 6-month-old daughter and our 4-year-old son. And it was simply fantastic! We saw all the animals except the lion (and giraffes, which are not found in Addo Elephant Park) and the guide Steve was very experienced and conjured up a great meal for lunch. We were picked up from the hotel on time and we really had a lot of time with the animals and saw them up close. An experience like no other. Being able to observe animals in their wild is an incredible privilege and this tour made this possible for us wonderfully. Very family-friendly, as a baby seat was organized especially for us. Top communication. I can only recommend it!

Amazing experience with our guide Stephen - We had an amazing experience with our guide Stephen. The full day was arranged for us, and we only had to look out for the most amazing animals. Stephen drove us to the best places, which ensured us to see have the best views. We even saw two lions very close to the car! The braai also was amazing, it was very varied and more than enough. Thanks again Stephen for this wonderful day!
