The biggest disappointment of our South African holiday!

This safari through Addo Elephant National Park, booked months earlier and discussed with the organizer in advance, was to be the highlight of our cruise. Only about a day before the start we were informed by the booking platform that Nama Tours had cancelled the tour. We did not receive a personal message. When asked by Jonathan, he wrote to us that the company had financial problems, but he would still try to do the tour anyway. He begged for patience, but we never heard from him again. Although we received our payment back from the booking platform, this of course does not compensate in any way for the lost experience and stress or even the communication costs to find a solution at night on the ocean. Therefore, we can currently be contacted before the provider "Nama Tours (pty) ltd" or "Nama Tours tours" in South Africa only warn.

Operator response

Hi I'm sorry to hear about this First you did not book via this platform We have a right to cancel a tour in advance as we did in order to give you a chance to book with someone else We try to find alternative company to take over from us but they were all more expensive then us

The guide was overwhelmed with his task

The park was beautiful to look at. Animals allowed beautiful souvenir photos. The snacks and drinks listed in the program - misrepresentation. The guide has drinks and snacks for himself. Lions unfortunately not seen. But many other animals in the extensive park. Was thus still a pleasant tour

Operator response

Hi Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass es angenehm war Können Sie bitte das Datum angeben, um zu sehen, warum es seitdem keine Snacks und Getränke mehr gab? Auf unseren Touren gibt es immer Getränke und Snacks

Jonathon was fantastic...

Jonathon was fantastic and I would recommend him highly. He always answered my question promptly when I communicated with him before the trip. He was prompt on time waiting for us at the cruise ship dock. Before going into the park we stopped and got drinks and food for lunch and he picked up that tab. Once in the Addo park he never rushed us and has an eye for spotting the animals. We saw many Elephants, zebras, Kudu’s, a lion and warthogs. He had us back to the ship on time as promised by him! I can’t say enough nice things about Jonathon not knowing what to expect he was a 5 star!!

Operator response

Thank you very much I'm very happy to hear this our aim is to give you the most memorable experience

We highly recommend Namatours. Their customer service is second to none. The guided tour was outstanding, exceeding our expectations. We were completely impressed with their professionalism and care for us all. Thank you to Jonathan, our driver guide. We really appreciate your hard work and effort giving us insight about the animals and the conservation itself. May you go from strength to strength.

Nama Tours 👌

Once again, many thanks for making such a trip possible. The organisation, the effectiveness, the planning and on top the driver you Jonathan were just perfect. We felt so comfortable although being so far and deep in the wild. Everything worked out in time and perfectly; the driver never had to look long for the animals as he knows where and at what time to go there. We felt very safe and were treated like royals or VIPs. The car was very clean, washed and the fresh water that was placed under our seats was very much appreciated from our side. We will definitely recommend your Nama Tours as well as you our driver to our friends who are also planning trips to Addo and surroundings. Once more, many thanks for all of the above mentioned but also for the gifts and the perfect service at the arrival point. Kind regards From a very happy April family.

Perfect Game Drive

We did a half day tou in Addo last August and could not be more happy!! Tour was spectacular!! We saw ostriches, elephants (so close ypou can almost touch them!!), impalas, kudo, bit the highlight was the LION!!!! You cannot even begin to describe the emotions you feel when you see these animals in the wild, roaming free in such a great place. We thank Jonathan for being a great guide and not give up until he found this majestic creature. We highly recommend this tour.

Jonathan is the best tour guide!

We did a sunset (17:00) and sunrise (6:00) tour at Addo, and Jonathan was our guide for both... we saw two "brother" lions on both of those tours, as well as 40-50 elephants at a watering hole, many Pumbas (worthogs), zebras, kudus, and other deer, as well as a hyena, and water buffalo. Jonathan is hilarious... he's very knowledgable about the animals, and is honestly the best guide. I would highly recommend taking this tour!
