Day Excursion at the Addo Elephant National Park in Port Elizabeth - If you are in a cruise and Port Elizabeth in South Africa is a port of call then I strongly suggest to book on a tour to the Addo Elephant National Park Day Safari. Book it in advance to secure a place but not in your cruise ship as the price is exorbitant. My wife and I were so fortunate to book the tour with the company Into Tours. Janina was so amazing in handling the booking and making us feel confident that the van waits for us at the port terminal and bring us back on time. Our driver and guide Lizwe is an amazing guy and went out of his way to make sure that our visit at the park is something we can treasure. Indeed we did and it was overwhelming. Thank you again Janina, Lizwe and Into Tours.

Wonderful elephant experience - This was a fabulous trip! Gary, our driver and guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the park. We saw lots of wildlife but mainly the elephants. We were collected from our ship and returned in plenty of time for sailing. Thoroughly recommended.

A fabulous day with the elephants -
We saw a huge herd of elephants at a water hole. There were babies with mums, adolescents and large bulls. Nearby were lots of zebras and some wildebeests. Our guide Emmanuel was very knowledgable and knew where to find lots of animals. Although it was extremely hot our van was comfortably air conditioned. A wonderful day not soon forgotten.

A great elephant experience - It was lovely to see the elephants at the water hole. We saw warthogs, zebra, buffalo, deer, monkeys and a white rhino. Gary was enthusiastic and informative, pointing out dung beetles, tortoises, and various birds. A great tour. Great value for money. I would recommend to others.

Great Place to see Elephants and More. - We were 4 passengers and were picked up at the cruise terminal for our Game Drive in the Addo Elephant Park. Our tour guide was Litzwe and was very informative and friendly. He seemed to know exactly the spot where we would be able to see different animals. We couldn't believe how many majestic Elephants we saw, as well as Lions, Warthogs, Zebras, different types of Antelopes, Blue Cranes. We learnt about the wildlife, habitat, history as we drove round the park.
I would recommend using Into Tours for this experience, not to be missed. We all had a wonderful day, seeing all the animals.
