    About this experience

    Start your adventure with a 1.5-hour river cruise on the majestic Sunday's River a bird lovers paradise. Admire and walk on the beautiful Alexandria dune fields, the largest and least degraded coastal dune field in the Southern Hemisphere. At the top of the dunes, you can see Snt Croix Island which is situated in the Marine Protected area of Addo Elephant Park. Next, we will stop at the famous Nanaga Farm Stall for a delicious lunch. Savor a roosterkoek (a kind of roll unique to South Africa, cooked on a grill and slightly charred) or a homemade pie, and enjoy a drink of your choice. Try some biltong, a traditional South African snack, to complete your meal. After lunch we will head to Kragga Kamma Game Reserve on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth for a thrilling game drive where you can see 3 of the big 5. Lions, Buffalos and White Rhinos. The park is also home to the iconic Giraffe and much more. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as you explore the reserve.

    Wonderful day at Sundays river and Kragga Karma Game Park

    Had the best day with my tour guide-Carmella.She was very informative and explained a lot of interesting things.Started our day with a pick up from my hotel, followed by a drive to the Sundays river where we had a lovely boat cruise along the river and climbed one of the dunes to see the view..then we drove to Nanaga farmstall where we enjoyed our lunch(The famous Roosterkoek and a drink of my choice)..then we made our way to the Kragga Karma game reserve where we saw a variety of beautiful animals including the Lions, Rhino, Cheetah. e.tc..then lastly I was dropped off at my pick up location. ‘Carlin’s tours’ is really the best for guided tours.🔥

    A great day, first...

    A great day, first boat trip with stop at a large sand dune, there was cycling down on mats. At noon there was a small snack and drink in a farm market. Afterwards to Kragga Kamma Park where our guide tried very hard to explain everything to us and find all the animals

    Excellent way to spend a day

    We throughly enjoyed our day outing with Carlin’s Tours. The Sundays Riverboat Cruise was so relaxing and we saw so many birds and also monkeys on the dunes. Then, we got off the riverboat and climbed up the dunes to the highest one we were able to climb with Carlin’s help. Oh my! The view was incredible! Carlin then took us through the Kragga Kamma Game Preserve and we saw so many animals. My favorite animal is the giraffe and we had a very close view of them. We also saw white rhino, lions, Cape buffalo, kudu and impala. It was wonderful!

    Response from the operator: Thanks you Mrs Ruth,it was my pleasure to host use. I'm glad I could show use around and that you enjoyed. Keep well.

    Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $147 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 Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience?

    +

    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 Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience?

    +

    Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sundays River Cruise and Kragga Kamma Game Park Experience 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.
