We saw so many elephants and other animals up close on our full day tour. Walter is an experienced guide, well-connected to others in the park, and willing to go the bit extra. It is a wonderful day and so much better than a cruise ship bus tour to the same park. It was raining and we stayed dry. This should be a 5 star review, but he promised what he did not deliver.I specifically asked Walter for the seat up front with him since we booked before the other couple an I tend to get queasy in a crowded car or bus. So we paid the premium. He gave me his word twice, as late as that morning. Instead, he yielded to the big guy who got there first and I ended up in the middle in the back, UGH. He made some excuse as soon as we arrived because he knew he was not keeping his word.He said he would make us change places half way through but that happen either. I do admit the guy was big, arrogant an intimidating. Otherwise, and in retrospect, I could have asked him myself instead of assuming that was up to Walter. I spent hours being pushed between two people moving around taking pictures. I would still recommend Walter. He is truly a good, professional 5 star guide. Just get there before the other guys!

Addo Elephant National Park is the third biggest reserve in South Africa at well over 200000 hectares. The animals are in an entirely wild habitat and the Addo Elephants are renowned for being 'Gentle Giants'. They are usually quite calm, allowing for great close-up viewing and excellent photo opportunities. It is the only 'Big 7' Reserve in the World. The Park has incorporated a Marine Protected Area where, on a Marine Safari, you could see the Southern Right Whale (seasonal) & Great White Shark as well as the African Penguin and Bottlenose Dolphins. Combine this with the 'Big 5', Elephant, Lion, Buffalo,Rhino and Leopard at the main park and it is now known as a 'Big 7' Reserve. The Park also boasts 5 of the 7 biomes in South Africa.

Debbie took me out me out on two separate Game Drives over two days, one to Addo Elephant Park and the other to a Big 5 Game reserve. Debbie usually runs tours from Port Elizabeth but just picked me up from Addo town. I had a lovely couple of days seeing all sorts of game and even white Rhino.The scenery was stunning in both locations and even getting there with delightful country drives I won't mention where where we saw the white Rhino as they are utterly endangered. I have done a three week extensive safari before and this time I just wanted to to have a couple of days in a private vehicle with a local guide, no stress and just comfort. Excellent Choice!!! Debbie was a delight to have as a guide, not only cause of her knowledge of the Game, the comfortable vehicle, but it was so easy to converse with Debbie also on other subjects and I learned a lot about South Africa. Overall a 5 star experience, I can highly recommend Addo Secret Safaris.

My friend Gill and I joined this Kgalagadi 10 day tour in November 2020. From the moment we were picked up from our homes to the moment we arrived home the holiday was memorable in every way. Augrabies Gorge was an unexpected surprise and the Kgalagadi park was better than I had ever imagined it would be . The reason fir the success of the tour was due to our tour guide ( Allen Rautenbach) and the best ‘ spotter ‘ of game and birds imaginable . Breakfast and lunch and supper every day were perfect. Would highly recommend this tour .
