The guide Jeandre was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and provided a great experience. The park is a quick drive from town and there’s lots to see in a short time. A great choice if you haven’t got much time in town.

This was the most spectacular experience ever. If you’re looking to not only learn about the many animals and plants that occupy Addo National Park but also the city of PE during your drive from your pick up point to the Park then Andrew, our tour guide is your guy. Andrew was very kind to me and my mother and very accommodating. He gave in depth knowledge on the plants and animals as we passed by. The food is limited to pastas and burgers, I had a beef burger and it was the most succulent. He ensured we spot all the lovely animals then dropped us at our hotel safely. Would absolutely recommend this drive.

I have sent many of my tourists and guests on tours with Peter Giddy and they have always come back with glowing reports of the wonderful time they had. I was privileged to take my grandson on a hike up the Lady Slipper Mountain just outside Port Elizabeth. Peter was a great host and made the walk so interesting by pointing out different plants along the way and telling us stories about the area. He has many other walking/hiking tours and I would recommend that you do as many of these with Peter as you can I would recommend any tour with Peter.

Tldr: book this trip already!!???? I would 100% recommend this experience. We did our 3 day garden route tour from CPT to Port Elizabeth. Everything about my experience with Umzantsi was great. The trip was arranged on short notice and they were able to organize and deliver the most memorable experience ever. The communication and the logistics by Umzantsi were very well done. Peter Haller, our Tour guide was awesome. He knows a lot about the landscape as well as both the current and historical information about the towns/places along the route. It was just so much fun having him as our tour guide and getting all the interesting information from him. He made sure that we saw and experienced all the amazing places along the way. It is really a very rewarding and memorable tour.

I have just returned from my first hunting safari ever in South Africa with Pete Safaris. I looked at a lot of travel agencies when planning this trip. Somehow, when I got to Pete Safaris, it just felt right from the beginning. Great service from the agency and at the lodge Ufumene, affordable prices, excellent accommodations —all in all, very professional. I got the experience of a lifetime. I can’t stop smiling. Thankfully, I have hundreds of videos and photos, so I can still remember this trips many years from now when I get old. It was an experience of a lifetime! I can highly recommend it.
