WOW

Published on Jan, 2025

After a quiet start where we saw a number of different animals including zebra, warthog and 2 solo elephants our guide Gary took us to a waterhole where the view can only be described as WOW! There were so many elephants there, some bathing in the water some out standing at the side and an adorable baby being fed. This was the first of a few waterholes where each seem to have more elephants than the last. At one there was a wonderful sight of the backs of a large family of elephants leaving that hole on their way to the next. A visit with so many memories, so many photos and so much fun.

Not to be missed!

Published on Jan, 2025

Super visit to the park -this is a national park and the animals are free to roam and some of the animals are harder to find but our guide Mr X, was excellent at finding some we may have missed, with over 700 elephants- they were not in short supply and I will never forget seeing hundreds of them at the water hole

Amazing Visit to Addo Elephant Park with Into Tours

Published on Dec, 2024

We booked this Shore Excursion to Addo Elephant Park with Into Tours, and had a great experience. Communications with Janina prior to our visit were very helpful, as she described the entire trip and provided details on the pickup point. Our guide, Jacob arrived early in a comfortable Toyota SUV. Jacob was a fantastic guide, with eagle eyes that spotted wildlife through out the park, along with possessing excellent driving skills. He definitely made the trip very enjoyable. On the initial drive through the south end of the park, we spotted cape buffalo, eland, kudu, zebras and several other animals. In the north section of the park, we saw nearly 100 elephants and several hundred zebras during our morning and afternoon drives. The burger and fries lunch at the Cattle Baron was fast and delicious, allowing us to maximize our wildlife viewing time. We highly recommend Into Tours and Jacob. Thank you!

A Great Day at Addo

Published on Dec, 2024

We were a small tour of 7 people from a cruise, with Gary, an expert local guide. We had a game drive in the morning and afternoon with a short lunch break. This was a burger in the park's main camp, which also had a shop and toilets. The highlight of the day was seeing a herd of about 100 elephants at a water hole,bathing. It is a very large park so there are many roads to travel down and search for the animals. There are also some stops at scenic view points with possible bird sightings such as the herons that we saw. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would recommend it.
