    The best big 7 day tour.

    What an awesome experience. Best trip I've ever done and seen more animals that what you would on a normal safari. The tour guide Riaan Audi is very knowledgeable about the area and animals and know just were to look for them. The boat trip was awesome we saw allot of sea live just a pity we missed the Wales they only there in a month or so from now but still worth the trip to St. Croix Island. The P.E. harbor offered us a great meal before heading out to the Addo Elephant National Park. Our tour guide knows this park very well and took us to areas that is full of wildlife. Thanks again to Zasendle Adventures for the unforgettable day trip you gave us.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Renier and Marga. It where a great plesure in having you, and spending the day together, showing you our lovely country South Africa.

    Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine cost?

    +

    Prices start at $378 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 Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine 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 Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine?

    +

    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 Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine 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 Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine?

    +

    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 Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine 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.

    What is included in Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine?

    +

    Included: All entry fees, concervation fees; Bottled water; Lunch; and Guided Safari. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 51 listed pickup locations in and around Port Elizabeth. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Full-Day BIG 7 Addo Elephant Park & Marine if the weather is bad?

    +
