Perfect communication in advance and a great, informative tour in Addo

Great tour with a super friendly tour guide, Alan. Communication in advance was absolutely smooth and perfect. Alan showed us from the beginning the options for how we wanted to spend the day and implemented everything according to our ideas and wishes.

Addo Elephant Park private tour

An amazing day with Alan our guide. This tour was a private one with just my wife and myself and Alan ensured we had an eventful and memorable day. We stopped where we wanted and took as much time as we needed to photograph the animals. An excellent lunch was provided with wine and beer with a backdrop of wildlife. Communication once the tour was booked was excellent from both Hilary, the company owner, and Alan with respect to pick times and meeting point. This a tour not to be missed with a company that ensures you have an amazing day.

Beautiful drive through the park. Our guide showed us what was possible on animals. Elephants preferred, of course.

Beautiful day

We had the chance to discover and research the animals with our guide and expert Hilary. The day passed so fast and we saw many things: small and large animals, everything was exciting with always many explanations from our guide. Her coffee with in case and her pic nic were really nice! We recommend it in hesitations!!!!
