What a fantastic day!!! Wanele was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we saw some awesome animals! I thought we weren't going to see lions, then right as we were about to leave - there he was! I even recorded him roaring and we followed him to the waterhole and got some close up pictures! Just an absolute fabulous day and experience!

John was a fantastic guide for this small group experience, starting with an on-time pick up and a commentary on Port Elizabeth on the way to the camp.
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring the national park. John was in touch with other guides to get clues about where the animals were - we saw so many animals throughout the day, even lions on a hunt!
Addo is a great place to visit John’s enthusiasm and knowledge made the day even better.
The packed lunch was good too!

The trip was amazing. They collected me from the Guesthouse where I was booked in. The windows of the vehicle that we drove in could be taken down so that this was a open vehicle. We could then take beautiful pictures. The guide John was well connected with other guests and half an hour after we started the Safari, we saw 3 lions about 2 m next to the road! Jonh was well educated and had a story to tell about every animal we encountered. I would not recommend a self drive into the park. It is so much more fun to do it with a guide and get to know other people. We joked and laughed and bonded nicely. Thank you John for going out of your way to show us all the famous spots!

AMAZING!!!! Joel, his wife and team were excellent. We were picked up and welcomed straight away. Joel’s knowledge of the NP and animals was amazing, we saw and heard so much. The BBQ they laid on was excellent and the hospitality they shown us was amazing.
I would very highly recommend this trip to everyone and would even do it again.
Thank you for an amazing experience, we will never forget it.
