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
We loved it, the kids had an awesome time, Bianca the instructor was absolutely amazing and super friendly. Will definitely do it again. Bianca thank you so much for an amazing experience????.

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.

All tours are conducted by a professional Game Ranger with 18 years experience. Seeing the African Bush through the eyes of someone who can interpret it for you is gives a completely different perspective. Guest satisfaction and personal touch is extremely high on our priority list, and we will go to great lengths to make your trip special. Small groups of no more than 4 guests are ideal because this gives the best opportunities for that special photo you will take to make your memories special.

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.

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.
