Addo Elephant National Park was proclaimed in 1931 to provide a safe haven for the few wild elephants that survived the early 20th century. Today the elephants number in their hundreds, thanks to the efforts of the National Parks Board and a unique vegetation type - subtropical thicket, or valley bushveld. It is this thick, impenetrable vegetation that has not only provided protection for the elephants and buffalo in the area, but also provided a rich food source, supporting what is now the most dense population of wild elephants on the planet. Our game drive concentrates on finding and viewing elephants. Buffalo, Rhino and Lion sightings of the latter are a definite bonus, while you may also be lucky enough to see dung beetles keeping the park tidy!

Inclusions: Private transportation, Light South African Braai (BBQ) in the park to use the toilet facilities and stretch the legs.

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Lunch, Gratuities

I first learned to surf with Andrew in 2020 & went back in 2021 for more intermediate lessons. I went from knowing nothing about surfing to being able to catch and ride fairly big waves. Andrew is an excellent coach and a fun and kind person, who is always cheering you on in the waves. He is reassuring and helps you navigate any situation in the water. He has years of experience so a real privilege to learn from his knowledge about surfing, the waves and the weather. He knows almost everyone in Jeffreys Bay and can share the most interesting stories about the town. Tons of fun and laughs to be had with Wavecrest Surf School! Highly recommended!
