She is worried because she can't meet him easily. The meeting banner belonged to another company. I was relieved to find him afterwards, but I was the only customer. I have to wait half an hour to find a customer. After that, everything went well. Chartered with a certified guide driver. The guide was kind enough to look for various animals.

Great experience
From the beginning of my booking, We Tour SA were great to deal with. Nadine contacted me to check my morning tea order and I arranged to have biltong rather than a muffin- the perfect South African snack! I was on a tight day trip timeframe and was picked up early from the airport by Alan and found I was the only passenger that day. The car only takes a maximum of three passengers so perfect even if there were more of us. It was a short drive to the park and Alan and I chatted all the way about general stuff and Addo related information. We arrived and spent the day driving around and saw plenty of cool wildlife including the warthogs, kudu, elephants, meerkats, a family of black backed jackals, eagles, zebra, baboons, monkeys , tortoise etc. Unfortunately we didn’t see the lions, but it’s a wild park and there is a lot of area for them to hide, it’s not like a zoo or one of the smaller game parks where all the animals are packed together - it’s a wild place that’s easily accessible and that’s what makes it so cool. Dropped back to the airport in the evening and flew back to Cape Town. Had a great day and would love to visit again if I get back. Alan was a great tour guide and having a small vehicle it was a much better experience than on one of the larger tour buses.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words Mr Krinks. Glad you had a great time. It is very important to us that clients get to experience the best of what we have to offer and that is the fact that we specialize more in private tours and very minimal shared tours. With private tours we have a better chance of connecting in depth with our client and our vehicles, although not busses, are still great for our max 4 passengers. We are very proud of our Toyota Hilux 3.0 D4D 4x4, it just never dissapoints, comfortable with air conditioning and clients have the ability to open windows for photo opportunities which busses cannot do. Thank you for booking with us, it was a great honor and pleasure to have you on board with Alan. Cheers, until next time. Alan & Nadine

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Addo Elephant National Park Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Addo Elephant National Park Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town 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 Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Addo Elephant National Park Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Addo Elephant National Park Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour?
+
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 Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Addo Elephant National Park Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Cape Town 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 Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Addo Elephant National Park Half Day (Open Vehicle)Shared Tour 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 Cape Town 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 Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. 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 Cape Town?
+
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 Cape Town?
+
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.
