Planted in the harbour
They left us lying in the harbor, nobody came to pick us up, we called and nobody knew anything about our tour. We had to hire a new tour in the port.
Response from the operator: Hello Plantados, Thank you for reaching out, and for choosing us as your tour operator. I would like to clarify that our guide was present outside the harbour at the scheduled time and was ready to pick you up. I also sent a message and followed up with several calls to communicate this; however, effective communication was unfortunately hindered by a language barrier, as I communicate exclusively in English. As a result, you elected to proceed with an alternative tour operator who was able to provide services in Spanish. While we fully understand your decision, I would like to confirm that our guide was available and prepared to conduct the tour as originally arranged. Kind regards, Masimba tours

Unforgettable Game Drive Experience with Masimba Tours!
I had an amazing time on my game drive with Masimba Tours in Addo Elephant Park. From the moment we were picked up, everything was handled professionally and with such warmth and hospitality. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the wildlife and the park. We were blessed to see elephants up close, as well as zebras, buffalo, kudu, and even some shy warthogs. The guide made sure we had the best viewing opportunities and shared so much insight about the animals, their behavior, and the park’s ecosystem. It wasn’t just a drive—it was an educational and inspiring experience. The vehicle was comfortable and well-suited for game viewing. Safety and guest comfort were clearly a priority throughout. I highly recommend Masimba Tours for anyone visiting Addo—this was a 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
Response from the operator: Hi Charles, Thank you so much for choosing Masimba Tours. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Addo Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does Addo Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $1895 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 Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch 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 Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch?
+
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 Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Addo Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch?
+
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 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 Game drive/Traditional Braai-BBQ lunch 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.
