Port Elizabeth: Addo Elephant Park Shore Excursion & Safari

2.Addo Elephant Park Shore Excursion & Safari

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 72 reviews · 8 hours · from $159

Port Elizabeth to Addo Elephant Park for an 8-hour guided safari with lunch at Jack’s Picnic Site and chances at Big 7 wildlife.

“Overall, a very nice excursion. We saw many elephants, zebras, warthogs, and even a buffalo. During the lunch break, we enjoyed a shared meal with freshly grilled food, which was great. However, our guide didn’t provide much explanation, and we drove through the park in a closed van, which slightly diminished the safari experience. Still, a worthwhile trip for wildlife enthusiasts.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 57 reviews · from $163Top rated

An 8-hour Addo safari shore excursion from Port Elizabeth with two game drives, a picnic lunch, and guided wildlife spotting from a closed A/C vehicle.

“Very informative and enjoyable! Saw so many elephants! Also saw plenty of Wart hogs and Zebra. Driver had loud talk radio on in the van while driving us( in another language) - very annoying! He didn’t have much to say to or from the park, and when you’re in a new city, it would be nice to get this info.”
