Overpriced tourist nap
The guide made a fair effort, but the whole program was tourist- Nepp: A day of endless driving around in the park, where only the abundant elephants and zebras show up again and again. Very nice, but that would be good in 3 hours. The nourished speculation on lions or other animals was nonsense given the small population in the park and the ember heat. The rest of the program consisted of a very good overnight stay and bought together loveless tourist trips of other organizers. The whole thing totally overpriced.

Overnight at Addo Elephant National Park- Don’t Miss Out
We saw almost all of the animals in the park the first day, giraffe walk the following day was fantastic! Overnight accommodations were superb and all guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Carleen, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed your safari and it was a pleasure having you with us. Best wishes, The Afroventures Team

Well Worth It if You Have Limited Time
Frank was an amazing safari guide through Addo. He picked us up at our hotel in Port Elizabeth on time. He gave us a choice of a picnic or the restaurant at Addo. We wanted more time to see the animals so chose the picnic. He took us to a nice deli so we could choose our lunch. Frank knew the habits of the animals so we wasted no time driving around looking for them. His trained eyes spotted them quickly so we saw lots of the animals. He then dropped us off at the Belleview Animal Preserve where we had dinner and spent the night. The food and lodging were satisfactory. The next morning we toured the giraffe section of the preserve where we could get out and walk among the giraffes. Afroventures picked us up and drove us to lunch near the boat launch. Lunch was satisfactory. We were disappointed in the boat trip as the driver didn't give us much information about the river. The boat also had engine trouble.

2 day Addo fun
Amazing two days! Freddie looked after us day 1 and made sure we had plenty of water as the temperature went to 49 degrees. Boat trip was really relaxing and we survived the walk up the dunes in the heat. The giraffe safari was amazing and got really close for some great photos. Day 2 Sidwell was our Addo Safari tour guide - he was epic and so good at spotting all the animals…..all round great trip!
Response from the operator: Dear Jayne, Thank you very much for your amazing review. It was a pleasure having you with us and we are delighted that you got to experience the Addo Elephant National Park and the greater conservation area with us. We hope you will visit us again soon. Best wishes, The Afroventures Team

South African Safari - Choose this one!
What a wonderful way to spend three days in South Africa. The amazing and personable Sidwell was our primary guide for an extended 3-day safari journey that took us from the Addo Elephant Park to the Bellevue Giraffe Walk and finished up at the Zebra National Park. Our guide Sidwell was knowledgable and helped make us all comfortable during our three-day trek. Bradley at Bellevue was equally able to impart his knowledge and understanding to us while walking within yards of giraffes. And Andrew the Cheetah Tracker at the Zebra Park was phenomenal. Accommodations were first-rate, as was the food and narration at each of the venues. Leigh, the tour organizer, was capable, responsive and flexible, as he was able to satisfy our multi-generational group, ranging in age from 8 to 77.

2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $594 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Elizabeth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Elizabeth is not rushed.
Is 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Elizabeth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Elizabeth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Elizabeth and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Elizabeth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Elizabeth?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Elizabeth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addo Elephant Full Day Safari with a Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) Lunch, Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari, Addo Elephant National Park from Port Elizabeth - FD01. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Elizabeth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Elizabeth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari?
+
Included: Lunch; Giraffe Tracking Safari On Foot; Dinner; Sundays River Cruise & Dune Tour; and Breakfast. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is 2 Day Addo Elephant Park Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
