Tour guide Alan arrived on time and treated us to a wonderful tour of Port Elizabeth. Very enjoyable.
Thank you David for your review!
Interesting insight into the sites of Port Elizabeth and the game park. Good, knowledgeable guide…..
Thank you!
A brilliant day out, Alan communicated very well about meeting with him, and continued to engage with us throughout our trip. We saw much more than expected and highly recommended this excursion
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
Our guide Alan was great! Gave just the right amount of information regarding South Africa, Port Elizabeth and the attraction and game park. We were lucky and saw most of the animals which were well cared for. The drive through the park whilst on tracks was relatively smooth with ample photo stops. Alan put everything in to context from a historical, cultural and political perspective. A thoroughly good experience very worthwhile.
Thank you David for the great review!
Our tour included a brief city tour and the visit to the game preserve took a little over an hour, inside a comfortable van. We saw lots of animals including giraffes, zebras, water buffalo, worthogs, lions, ostriches and lots of herd animals like impala and springboks. They were fairly close to the vehicle at times. Afterwards, we visited a beautiful seaside town and had a lovely lunch.
Thank you Jeanne for your great review!

Thank you for the great review. Mike sends his regards
The trip begun in visiting historic landmarks in Port Elisabeth, then we went to the far-away lighthouse at the Recife point and then visiting the African penguins sanctuary. Some penguins remain there as they are unfit to live in wilderness and some are treated and released. From there a nice excursion was done to see the nature at the coast. At the Kragga Kamma Reserve we entered with our minivan and the driver showed us the animals which were out that day (it was a shady day with some rain so some of the animals hid but some come out which normally would not). We visited other game reserves previously so we have to say this one is a bit smaller but it was nice and informative nonetheless. The driver knew the park well and we saw a lot. We were returning to Pot Elizabeth with one more task - hopefully get glucose sensors in a pharmacy. We stopped at the pharmacy and got info that the sensors we were seeking are online-ordered only but got the info about the alternative sensors and their representative in port Elizabeth. Our driver called her and got valuable info which he forwarded to my WhatsApp, thank you Tony
Thank you Anton for you lovely review! Tony sends his regards
We had Tony as our tour guide from Tony’s Tours. Truly could not have had a better day!! He was so funny, safe, and knowledgeable. I truly would continue using his services. I can’t recommend him enough. He truly made sure that the entire day was exactly what we wanted!! The day was perfect and I don’t think it would’ve been as good without Tony!! He really thought of everything and cares so much about your experience.
Thank you for the great review! Tony sends his regards
Meet and greet at the cruise terminal right on time. Our guide Riann provided us with some history and sights around Port Elizabeth, but the high point was the trip to Kragga Kamma Reserve. As he drove us through the Reserve we were provided with plenty of time for picture taking and detailed information about the animals.
Thank you for the great review! It was such a pleasure to share the history of Port Elizabeth with you and then to share my knowledge of the animals at Kragga Kamma Reserve. Safe Travels until next time!
