    About this experience

    This one-of-a-kind tour lets you experience the world famous Addo Elephant Park which has one of the densest Elephant populations in the world in a guided game drive safari and enjoy a safari on foot at a Private Game Reserve after Addo Elephant Park, in this way you get the best of both worlds. There really is little to beat the excitement and experience of being on foot in the African bush, walking along game paths in the footsteps of wildlife and getting up close to one most iconic of all African animals, the giraffe. It is undoubtedly an experience that will create an lasting memories as a highlight of your safari adventure. While game viewing from a vehicle is a standard activity on safari trips, being allowed and able to safely walk in big game country adds a different dimension to an African safari. It is a rare opportunity not widely available. Cruise liner guests welcome with direct harbour pick up and drop off tailored to the cruise liner schedule.

    Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.

    How much does Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $218 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 Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking 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 15 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 Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking 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 Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking Safari?

    +

    Around 5 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Addo Elephant National Park and Giraffe Walk Tracking 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 Whale, Dolphin & Penguin Island Cruise, Addo Elephant Full Day Safari with a Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) Lunch, Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari. 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.
