Wow! What an amazing full day tour of Addo Elephant National Park with our ranger Graeme. This tour well exceeded our expectations at every level. Graeme met us early at our cruise ship dock and returned us to the dock at the time requested. Graeme was a wonderful guide who was excellent in sighting many different animals for us. He patiently explained interesting facts about the animals we observed as well as the plants and vegetation. We had the opportunity to observe approximately 200 elephants during our day in the park. We enjoyed watching many families of elephants at the water holes. Observing their mud baths and seeing a very young elephant chase away warthogs was especially entertaining. At one point in our tour, we experienced a total elephant "road block". It was quite a treat to see elephants up close for an extended period of time as they "napped" in the roadway. We also saw hartebeest, zebra, kudu, warthog, vervet monkey, cape buffalo, leopard tortoise, dung beetle, ostrich,and zebra agate snail. Outside the park we observed as giraffe. Overall quite an amazing tour. Graeme was the best -- very knowledgeable, considerate, and accommodating.
