lots of photos, super competent guide. He drove us to many highlights
Thank you Klaus for your great review. It was a pleasure in having you and share our passion about wildlife with you. We wish you a safe and pleasant journey ahead.
My wife and I had an amazing safari in Addo Elephant National Park with our guide Alan. Alan was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. He shared interesting facts throughout the tour, answered all our questions, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks to his experience and excellent spotting skills, we saw many elephants up close as well as other animals in their natural habitat. The tour was very well organized, relaxed, and never rushed, which allowed us to truly enjoy the park and its incredible scenery. This safari was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to South Africa. We highly recommend this tour and especially Alan to anyone visiting Addo Elephant National Park.
Thank you for your great review! We wish you a splendid journey ahead on the Cruise Ship.
We thoroughly enjoyed the half day tour. Tony ensured we gained the most from the experience using g his vast knowledge and experience.
Thank you for your review!
Wow, what a day! Mark picked is up from the cruise terminal, and the fun began. On the trip to Addo we learnt so much about Port Elizabeth, its history, its politics, attractions and so much more. Mark warned us that we may or may not see many other animals other than elephants, but those, he could guarantee. We must've hit the jackpot, as the cooler weather brought out the animals. We were even fortunate enough to see a male lion with 2 lionesses chilling under a tree. Springboks, warthogs (Pumbas), zebras, buffalo, turtles and so many elephants. The opportunities we had to get close to the animals, thanks to Mark's knowledge, made photo taking so easy. We'll remember Port Elizabeth, Mark and Addo, every time we see our incredible photos. A must for all visitors. Thanks Mark for a day to remember
Thank you so much Keryn for the great review! Safe travels forward!
Absolutely wonderful tour and guide. We saw almost every type of animal in the park! Mark was a fantastic guide. He made sure each of us fit photos of the animals we encountered. He was very friendly and informative. Great tour - I would recommend it highly!
Thank you Steve for your lovely review, it was just a pleasure in having you!
I would recommend this to any couple any day. Good day out in the park with a super awesome and friendly guide with local knowledge.
Marcelino Thank you for the great review! It was such a pleasure to have met you and to spend the day together in Addo Elephant National Park
We recently had the incredible opportunity to go on another safari, our first time in the Addo Elephant National Park, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized, expertly guided, and absolutely awe-inspiring. The wildlife sightings were beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw elephants up close, buffalo and red hartebeest grazing, zebras fighting, baby warthogs playing, kudu lazing around, a special sighting of a black-backed jackal and so many more animals in their natural habitat. Riaan, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate, not only about the animals but also about the land, the local culture, and the ecosystem. He made the entire experience feel personal (picking us up from our desired location), safe, and educational. If you’re even considering going on a safari, I cannot recommend using ZASENDLE Adventures highly enough. This trip exceeded all expectations and left us with lifelong memories, a deeper appreciation for wildlife, and a strong desire to return.
Thank you so much Yolize for the amazing review! It was such a great pleasure in having you and your mother Mary with us on safari in Addo Elephant Nat Park. We wish you all the best for 2025
