    Very Disappointing

    We just got back from a very disappointing day out. It started badly with no clear joining instructions, then a long walk to the meeting point, followed by standing for half an hour waiting for everyone to arrive, then another long walk to the bus. The bus was very cramped. I am only short but my knees were right up against the seat in front. When we got to the park it became clear that what had at first looked like an advantage of being able to open the tinted windows for photographs was actually a massive disadvantage. There were two windows together that when both opened slid over each other to make a completely black wall that I could not see through. The open section was so small that I could not get my camera out unless the object was at a direct 90 degrees to the bus. The people behind us complained that we had more than our fair share of the available space even so, and when pushed forward to accommodate them I could not take photos at all, nor see anything. In addition the headrests were so high I couldn't see forwards either. Many people were just giving their phones to the guide to take shots through the door. This vehicle was entirely unsuited to the task. In the first park we drove for hours through scrub seeing hardly anything and then in the last half hour finally drove to two watering holes where there was an abundance of elephants and zebra. I do not know why we did not just go there straight away and park to watch. It would have been a lot more fun. The second park was a complete waste of time. It was just a small zoo, so save your money and go to Whipsnade. Lunch was chaos and there was hardly any choice for vegetarians.

    Response from the operator: Good Day We sent you a text with the meeting instructions, Port Elizabeth does not have cruise arrival terminal and that's where guests meet the tour operators. It's a 5 minute (500 meter walk). We were waiting for all guest to arrive. There were 15 guests and the bus is a 22 seater, so not sure how it was cramped. It's the wild sightings are not guaranteed. Apologies if the tour was not to your standard.

    Great experience

    100% brilliant. Worth everty single rand spent. Our guide was amazing, talking about the various animals and cracking a joke to make the time move along. Combining the two sites together was fabulous and you saw various animals not indigenous to the Cape, such as Giraffes. Then Addo Park seeing elephants so. Lose uo was amazing along with other animals. But the whole experience was just great and cannot recommend enough.

    Addo Elephant National Park and Kragga Kamma Game Park: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Addo Elephant National Park and Kragga Kamma Game Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $210 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 Kragga Kamma Game Park 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 Kragga Kamma Game Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 32 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 Kragga Kamma Game Park?

    +

    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 Kragga Kamma Game Park 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 Kragga Kamma Game Park?

    +

    Around 11 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 Kragga Kamma Game Park 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.
