Excellent day in Addo with Afroventures: highly highly recommend.
Excellent day in the Addo national park with Sidwell from Afroventures. Good communication in advance, prompt pick-up. Vehicle is well suited to the terrain. Sidwell was really informative, and took us on both north and south loops in the course of the day. Lunch was lovely, at Jack's picnic spot in the park. Sidwell was excellent at spotting the wildlife. We had an absolutely amazing day.

Can’t recommend this enough! 5 stars!🌟
This was an absolutely amazing day. We were picked up from our hotel by our amazing guide, John.
We saw animals as soon as we entered the park and it only got better as the day went on.
John did his best to get us near as many animals as he could and we actually got to see a beautiful lioness at the end of the day.
Honestly couldn’t recommend this trip enough.

Tour to many elephants
It was a tour very well planned by the guide, everything was quiet, there was no stress whatsoever. We received a lot of information and could look at the animals without risk. In any case, a recommendation.

Fantastic day out
Our driver Jonathan was very good. Very informative. We managed to see 3 of the big 5 and plenty of other wildlife as well. Jonathan made sure we had plenty of opportunities to photograph all the animals we saw, even turning around so people on both sides of the vehicle had good views.

Fantastic experience with a guide who went out of his way
I went there solo - got picked up at the hotel on time, then the others of the group. Our Guide Sidwell was fantastic! He went out of his way so that we could possibly see the animals. And what we saw was so great - elephants close up, buffalos, warthogs next to the car. Sidwell explained everything super well. And in the end delivered us all back safely. It was a great experience I can only warmly and wholeheartedly recommend.

Breathtaking Addo-Safari
The safari was a wonderful experience. We were able to see a lot of animals and we learned a lot about them, the national park and South Africa in general. Our guide John was super friendly, helpful and always open to questions. Moreover, he provided us with food and drinks which was highly appreciated. He's a very cool guy and I highly recommend him as a Safari guide!

Very nice tour. The guide...
Very nice tour. The guide Sidwell made every effort for me to see as many of the animals as possible. It was a great opportunity to see especially the elephants up close in their natural habitat.

Great views, best experiences with the best tour guide.
Had the best experience with great views and the tour guide was also kind and helpful. The trip was definitely worth the money. The visit took a full day arrived in the morning and left afternoon and the most amazing part was that the guide really ensured that we see most of the animals and got good pictures too. Will definitely visit again

Addo Elephant Park
I had the most incredible experience at Addo Elephant National Park,truly a once in a lifetime moment.Seeing so many elephants in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking, and as someone who grew up in Africa, that says a lot. We were also lucky enough to see a variety of other wildlife, which made the entire experience even more magical.A special thank you to John,our guide, whose professionalism and warmth elevated the entire experience.He was patient,knowledgeable,and incredibly attentive.He also captured the most stunning photos of both us and the animals,making it perfect for solo travelers who want to fully enjoy the moment without worrying about who will take their pictures.The group dynamic was wonderful, and everything came together seamlessly.It was the perfect blend of adventure, beauty,and connection.I highly recommend this experience to both international travelers and locals,10/10.I Booked directly with John.

Frank, our guide, was very knowledgeable. We were able to see many elephants up close and personal! It turned out to be a private tour since we were the only people on it
