Addo Elephant National Park Tours from Port Elizabeth

Addo Elephant Park 2026

We were picked up punctually at 7am by our guide Thomas in the harbour. We had a great day at Addo Park. We have seen many elephants and animals. The highlight, of course, was the lions. Thanks again to our guide Thomas who showed us everything and explained a lot.

Response from the operator: Dear Anja, Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie einen so tollen Tag im Addo Park hatten und so viele Elefanten und andere Tiere sehen konnten. Und ja – die Löwen sind natürlich immer ein ganz besonderes Highlight! Thomas wird sich sehr über Ihre netten Worte freuen. Es ist schön zu wissen, dass seine Erklärungen und seine Leidenschaft den Tag für Sie noch unvergesslicher gemacht haben. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!

Very hot day, but we spotted many wild animals

Jeandre was a really experience and friendly guide. He picked us up in time at 6:15 and we drove to Addo national park for approximate 40mintues. The park opens for guests at 7:00 and we had been the first guests at the southern gate. It took a few minutes and we spotted the first kudus in the bush. Although it was a really hot day (+43 degrees celsius) we have seen a lot of animals in the park: Ostrich Black-headed heron Blacksmith Lapwing Elephant Buffalo Red Hartebeest Eland Kudu Burchell‘s Zebra Warthog Vervet monkey Flightless Dung Beatle Leopard Tortoise Butterflies Bush caterpillars Bush spiders After our lunch at the northern gate at approx. 11:30, Jeandre drove on our request additionally to an area where lions had been spotted, but unfortunately they hided in the bush. It was a really great experience and Jeandre explained everything clearly and he answered all our questions. We definitely can recommend the privat tour with Jeandre; thank you for the great day :)

Response from the operator: It was definitely one very hot day, but ADDO National Park never disappoint. Such hot days results in some great sightings of elephants swimming all around the park. We are looking forward to your return.

Excellent safari tour

Absolutely wonderful. Personal tour with a fabulous guide who gave us heaps of information and was able to answer all of our questions. Jonre was also not afraid to just drive in silence. He didn’t feel the need to speak constantly.

Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guests, Thank you so much for your kind review. It was an honor for me to be part of your holiday experiences. I am looking forward to welcoming you back in South Africa one day for another memorable time. Best Regards ADDO Tours and Transfers

Excellent Half-Day Addo Experience

My family of four took a half-day guided tour of Addo Elephant National Park. We were limited to one-half day because we had arrived in Port Elizabeth late the previous afternoon, then we were flying out late the next afternoon. This was the perfect trip for the limited time that we had. Our guide, Jeandre, picked us up with his van at our apartment early in the morning. We drove to Addo Elephant National Park about an hour away. Jeandre had a very nice personality suitable to being a guide. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the park, plus he shared his knowledge about the area on the was to the park and back. We spent several hours in the comfortable van and saw a number of different animals along the way. Having Jeandre as our guide eliminated the stress of trying to figure out where the animals were and how we were going to get to them. We were returned back to our apartment in Port Elizabeth with plenty of time to make our afternoon flight. It was an excellent experience that I would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to visit the park without much time to spare.

Response from the operator: Dear Mr Burgett, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent tour. We are delighted that you chose to do a tour with us. We are looking forward to your next visit to South Africa. Best Regards Jeandré Nothnagel

Game Drive

Had a fantastic time. Jeandre, our guide, was prompt and efficient and so knowledgeable. Knew exactly where to find the best sightings and we saw more than we could have hoped for. A great day out.
