Addo Elephant Park - We had the most wonderful day at Addo with Sean. Thanks to him, we saw so much and learned so much !! What a fabulous experience, we couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day from dung beetles to elephants, ostrich, lionesses, zebras, kudus, hartebeest and water buck. Ooh and a leopard tortoise. Unbelievable! Thank you Sean 😎😎

If you love elephants, this is the place. - We spent a whole day with Sean and it was beautiful. In total we were 9 people and had a large Mercedes bus for ourselves. All agreements were perfectly adhered to. Sean went to great lengths to explain everything to us, even the food (snacks) was great. We have gained impressions that will stay with us for a lifetime. Anyone who has ever looked into the eyes of an elephant standing directly by the car will never forget that. We can only recommend Sean and his team.

Awesome Addo Elephant Park - What can I say apart from an awesome day.Sean met us as promised at the cruise terminal and we were off in no time.The journey from the port to the park was filled with a wealth of information from Sean about the region.The moment we entered the park we encountered many varieties of wildlife,more down to Sean’s incredible knack to spot them. We had plenty of time to video and take pictures while all the time gaining more insight into the animal we were seeing. My wife being wheelchair bound was never an issue, and all we can say is huge thanks for a memory to cherish.

Perfect getaway to Addo Elephant Park with Sean. Lots of animal sightings in just the right places. - We had an exciting day at Addo. Our guide Sean knew well and has led us to the best places so we have seen many animals. Significantly more elephants than expected. Sean is very knowledgeable and explains in very understandable English. On questions and wishes he has fully responded, was reliable, punctual and has additionally even shown us Port Elizabeth. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour of Addo with Sean - I had a fantastic day trip to Addo with Sean. I found the info on TripAdvisor limited, but Sean was very patient in answering my many questions. I need not have been anxious as Sean was on time, courteous and provided so much interesting information on the park, the animals and SA in general. He really went the extra mile. Highly recommended!!

A great day at the Addo - We spent a whole day with our guide Sean in Addo National Park. Sean knew exactly where to go with us so that we could best see the animals interacting with each other. We could even see a lion, countless elephants that have come within 1.5 m of our car and countless other animals. It was a great day thanks to Sean at Addo.

Wonderful Tour - Best Guide - Very good Car. Alan was an excellent guide. He gave as many good and profunded informations. His special choice of the roads beside "where they all drive" helped us to unforgetable contact with animals, even totally unexpected as a hyena.

Nice park but small van and snack only ( not light lunch) - The park itself was wonderful to visit with a lot of elephants, zebras, warthogs, ostriches, and monkeys to see. However the van had small windows and cramped to sit for over two hours. The provider mentioned light lunch and water would be provided. The lunch included one banana, a rice crisp snack and a pack of pretzel. It should said snack so fair for customers to compare prices while other providers were providing real lunch.
