5Fantastic day in ADDO
It was a fantastic day! We were picked up at the pier by jeep and drove to ADDO National Park. We saw lots of animals, and our guide, Steve, was fantastic! The braai was fantastic! We would definitely book the tour again.
5Great day out
Fabulous helpful efficient staff from booking to the guide we had for the day. The lunch provided was a BBQ and it was amazing. Our ship brought its boarding time forward and this was accommodated
5Comfortable & well run tour of Addo Park with a nice bbq lunch.
Comfortable & well run tour of Addo Park with a nice bbq lunch.. Timely pick up at ship, nice enclosed vehicle with high seating & good viewing which was important in the weather conditions. Lots of Elephabts and other animals. Plenty to eat at the bbq lunch.
5Caution regarding room upgrades.
Great trip..but hated the room overlooking the promenade. Configuration is very odd..difficult to move around and you have to keep drapes closed all the time so others do not invade your privacy.
5Amazing Addo adventure
Excellent tour with pickup from the cruise port; they waited patiently as disembarkation was delayed. Safari was fantastic and guide Mostaff was great, informing us about the park and ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. Many elephants, zebras, warthogs, cape buffalo, tortoise, hyena, dung beetles and the park's two male lions, and more. Braai lunch was excellent with lots of food, beer and wine. First safari for us and it was even better than we'd hoped.
5My solo adventure at Addo...
My solo adventure at Addo Elephant Park exceeded all expectations, thanks to the outstanding guidance of Steven and the incredible hospitality of the team. From the moment I arrived, Steven made me feel welcome and ensured every detail of the safari was tailored to create a personal, enriching experience. Steven’s expertise truly shone as he navigated the park with precision, sharing captivating insights about elephants, lions, and even the smaller wonders of the bush. His ability to read animal behavior and adapt the tour to my interests—whether tracking a herd or pausing for quiet birdwatching—made me feel like a true explorer, even as a solo traveler. A highlight I can’t skip mentioning is the **BBQ lunch**! After a morning of thrilling sightings, we stopped at a scenic spot where a delicious spread awaited. The grilled meats, fresh salads, and local flavors were mouthwatering, and the team’s attention to detail (including dietary preferences!) made it feel like a gourmet bush feast. Dining alone? Not at all—Steven and the staff shared stories and laughter, turning the meal into a warm, communal experience. Steven’s passion for conservation added depth to the day. He balanced excitement with respect for the animals, and his stories about Addo’s ecological efforts left me inspired. By the end, I wasn’t just a visitor—I felt like part of the park’s mission. For solo travelers: Addo (and Steven!) is a dream. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories, a full stomach, and new friends. Thank you, Steven and team—this was perfection! --- This version emphasizes the solo-friendly atmosphere, Steven’s personalized approach, and the BBQ as a social highlight. Adjust as needed! 🐘🔥
