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.

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!

Visited and did a self drive trip with the family.... We hit the jackpot when around the corner at one of the water holes we spotted a massive herd of elephants. Was an amazing experience and will definitely be back and take up their guided tours next time.

Dear Afroventures, Thank you for organizing the wonderful tour to Addo, Mountain Zebra and Camdeboo national parks, which I enjoyed thoroughly. John was a terrific guide, a safe driver, sharing his knowledge and passion for the animals and the SAN parks, as well as for your company and went the extra mile to ensure I had the experience of a life time! I appreciated your company's high adherence to Covid-19 standards, I hope you and your team will be able to continue to provide extraordinary experiences to visitors like me, including vegetarian meals, and will thrive despite the trying times! All best wishes. Ruth

10. Private Garden Route and Safari Tour
High on the must-see lists of most visitors to South Africa is the Garden Route, and with good reason: you can’t help but be seduced by the glorious natural beauty. The distance from Cape Town to Storms River in the east is just over 450km, yet the range of topography, vegetation, wildlife and outdoor activities is remarkable. 5 days and 4 Night having a piece of mind in Cape Town. The coast is dotted with excellent beaches, while inland you’ll find picturesque lagoons and lakes, rolling hills and eventually the mountains of the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma ranges that divide the verdant Garden Route from the arid Little Karoo.
Inclusions: 4 nights accommodation, National Park fees, Bottled water, Snacks, Wine tasting, Driver/guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Private tour
Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Drinks, Food and drinks, Lunch, Gratuities, DVD (available to purchase), Souvenir photos (available to purchase)
