Our guide was quite...
Our guide was quite knowledgeable, friendly and so nice. We drove through Addo Elephant National Park and saw lions, elephants, zebras, warthogs, gazelles, baboons, monkeys and, of course, dung beetles. What a great experience!

I cannot read the departure time.
We docked late, had exit checks, and were very slow to see the tour people. I didn’t understand that, so I considered it a lot and signed up for this tour because I got a quick reply and I always said I was OK, nothing to worry about. Of course my turn on the day was towards the end, so I got worried, emailed him many times, and answered that I wasn't worried, so I left the gate, but no one had my name, and when I checked my identity in the photo, I put out a tag with my name. From then on, busy soliciting customers, I waited, I was left behind because I was slower than the other passengers. However, the cancellation didn't work after that, so I went to the mall with 15 Japanese customers and paid back 300 rand. The wait was really distressing and I wish I had cancelled the day before. No refunds were granted, and I feel like I've been studying. If you plan to have a significant delay in your departure time, it seems a good idea to cancel. Why don't you help me out later?
Response from the operator: On the day you booked your tour. You disembarked the ship 4 hours late. But even so we still offered to take you on a private tour. But you refused the offer because you want more people with you. But you only booked for one person. Your ship stayed over. And we even offered to take you the next day and there will be more people with you to join. We agreed to meet at 8 am. We waited until 9.15 making the other passengers uncomfortable as it was hot and everyone was waiting for you. But you never pitch up. We try our best to keep our customers happy at all times.

Why this scores 58

Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $176 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 Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 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 Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion?
+
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 Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Port Elizabeth Addo Elephant National Park and City Excursion 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.
